Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros is an ensemble band led by Alex Ebert, vocalist of the power pop group Ima Robot. Their first full-length recording, Up from Below, was released July 7, 2009, digitally and July 14, 2009, physically on Community Records. Their first show as a full band was played July 18, 2007, at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, California. After breaking up with his girlfriend, moving out of his house, and leaving a 12-step program for addiction (to live a more honest reaction to the truth of the moment, and to not be bound by fear-based dogma), Ebert began work on a book about a messianic figure named Edward Sharpe. According to Ebert, Sharpe "was sent down to Earth to heal and save mankind...but he kept getting distracted by girls and falling in love." Ebert on the other hand, seems to be distracting the public, who are quickly falling under his spell.

Sunset Junction welcomes Bates Stage headliner Edward Sharpe, who will throw it down this Sunday at 8 p.m. It’s quite a show!
