EDWARD SHARPE & THE MAGNETIC ZEROS - SOLD OUT
w/ Fool's Gold & Local Natives
11-piece indie folk rock outfit! LA-turned-nationwide sensations Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros continue to wow audiences with their euphoric live show, which has sold out venues across the country- most recently in Brooklyn, DC, Milwaukee, Lyons, CO and San Francisco. Better still, at-capacity crowds are singing along at these shows- evidence of the devoted fan base that is flourishing even in cities the band is visiting for the first time.

The band has received accolades from various press outlets; notably, the Denver Post lauded their set at the star-studded Monolith Festival as "the day's surprise standout."

Birthed by Mouth in the year two-thousand and five, young Edward Sharpe had to wait nearly two years before he was to grow his arms and legs and fingers and toes.

Immaculately conceived, his father (a Robot who had magically become a real boy...but that's another story) declared his undying devotion to the creature. He perched the fleshy bust upon a teetering pedestal fashioned from stacked cereal boxes and positioned the display at his window for all the town to see. Young Edward soon proved no ordinary boy.

Though his father had figured him deaf for his unresponsiveness to sounds, he in fact had the universally unique condition of being deaf from hearing too much or, more correctly put, too well. In plain words, he heard EVERYTHING AT ONCE.

At first it proved rather painful like a wretched whining winding all hours, but very soon those who whisper visited young Edward and revealed to him the Tricks and Truths, the Ways and Plays, the Chords and Dischords of the Universe.

He did not need to eat but the color of the sun, which was F#, and moved his bones to grow.

His arms and legs and fingers and toes grew 'til the tower of boxes collapsed and he laughed. He moved thru the door which was C over B# and ran thru the village hearing ALL of its music! The workers and children and painters of buildings and dogs barking madly and trees bristling softly and OH!!

Young Edward could not resist! He began playing the tree which are the chords E and D 'gainst the mice in the grass which are A played with brass and the wooden fence F and then C and repeat with a drone of B Minor to bring in the street and the Birds B to B Sharp with fluttering strings and the sky mostly C unless he wants to bring in the rain and for rain bring the F Chord bombastic with organ's distortion and symbols a'crashin!

Yes, and a music was born.
