w/ Fool's Gold & Local Natives
I was searching for some up and coming music when I stumbled upon this band playing at the High Noon Saloon. I know how name recognition is used to jump start new bands, so once I saw that Alex Ebert from Ima Robot was in this band, I had to check it out. Wow, Alex. Talk about a 180. He went from cyber disco to hippieland. LOL. Ok, I'll take it. Anyway, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros does remind me a little of Polyphonic Spree because of their accoustic instruments and choir background singers. I also picked up on a few horns playing in the background of some of their songs. That kind of makes me think of a jam band, but without the 10 minute instrumental sections. They also have a kind of druggy Beatles sound as well, which I guess goes into the hippie music scene. Their shows look like a lot of fun though! But alas, no drum machine or synthesizer. Super sad face. Well, I like this type of music too and for some reason I feel like some of this is in fun because I can't see Alex taking himself to seriously. Especially as a hippie. Check out some of their songs and see for your self.
