About

Debuting their second album at No. 5 on the Billboard 200, the whimsical and fiercely nonconformist musical group Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros finished up their 2013 summer tour just in time to prepare for their next circuit in the New Year. Known as much for their relentless concert schedule as their recognizable 60s hippie commune sound, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros are reinvigorating the folk rock music scene alongside occasional tour mates, Mumford and Sons. Expressing a positive, love-one-another vibe while exploring self-image in their music, lead singer Alex Ebert (from Ima Robot) and his many merry cohorts put on energetic live shows that feel both intimate and global. This is no doubt thanks to Ebert’s personal journey, which began with the creation of his alter ego, Edward Sharpe, and his pilgrimage from self-indulgent lovesick drug addict to magnanimous creative.

After strapping on the mantle of Mr. Sharpe, Ebert collected childhood friends, musicians and Jade Castrinos, a one-time sweetheart who shares the vocals in the wildly popular single “Home,” among others, and began playing shows in 2007. In 2009, they toured the nation in a white school bus. Now boasting three full-length albums, including “Up From Below,” “Here” and their recent self-titled work, the collective intends to release some B-sides before completing a fourth album. Though fans may have to wait to hear the next selection of avant-garde musical pieces, they can buy tickets to a show that’s almost certainly coming to a city near them soon. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros are undeniably unique in appearance, stage presence and sound, and the deliriously happy disciples have an enchanting effect, even when played through car speakers.

    Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

    by astefanieg on 2009-12-09BILTMORE CABARET - VANCOUVER

    This show was a steal of a deal at 13 bucks! Massive bursts of energy on stage and the crowd was reciprocating the vibe. The opening acts including; the Local Natives and Fool's Gold, were amazing with at least 7 instruments accompanying the vocals to create a full sound. I had not listened to 'ESATMZ' much before this show, so I will let someone else comment on the set list and what might have been expected from the band. The sound quality was awesome and the band seemed to be in full force to rock the house. The songs were great, the speeches between songs were okay (maybe a little rambling) and overall I recommend this concert to anyone who wants to groove for a few hours in a packed crowd and do a lot of hand clapping while trying not to spill your drink on everyone. Good times.

    Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros killed it

    by ShaneDaniels on 2009-12-09BILTMORE CABARET - VANCOUVER

    They have such great positive energy, I've never seen a band with such enthusiasm who brought so much love and happiness to a crowd. It makes me think that this is what you would experience when music moved people so much in the 60s and early 70s. Their music is so full of joy and love, and you can tell that everyone in the room felt like they were all one, and everyone felt a connection with eachother, no matter what their age, gender, color, height, weight, style of dress etc.... The end of the show was amazing, where everyone sat down with the band on stage for their final song of the night 'Brother'.... What a way to top it off! I can't say enough about this band. Check it out for yourself, while they are still playing these intimate shows (although there were a few hundred ppl there, the place was packed!), it'll be something you'll never forget

    Edward Sharpe is amazing live!

    by bettyblue29 on 2009-11-27El Mocambo - Toronto

    As soon as they started playing you could feel a buzz of energy surge through the audience!!! It was exhilaratingly fun and exciting. Kudos too for doing two nights back to back and still have somewhat of a voice left ;)

    It was like a deep southern soul revival. Every song was like a feel good roller coaster. The musicians certainly took you to a whole other level. A fresh change from other crap that floating out there.

    Edward Sharpe & The Magentic Zeros were AMAZING; one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. Don't think I've smiled so much during a show. Fool's Gold was awful; so bad they were actually traumatizing. My girlfriend actually hated it so much she was on the verge of tears that we had wasted our time and money to see them; we were actually tempted to leave during their set as we couldn't take it. And it actually goes to show how good ES & TMZs are - as soon as they came on and played their first set the tears were gone and she was all smiles! (Also, Local Natives seemed really cool-will definitely check them out)
