Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros is an American indie-folk ensemble band led by Alex Ebert, vocalist of the power-pop group Ima Robot. The band’s first full-length recording, Up from Below, was released July 7, 2009 digitally and July 14, 2009 physically on Vagrant Records. Its 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 joining a 12-step program for addiction, Ebert began work on a story about a messianic figure named Edward Sharpe. According to Ebert, Sharpe “was sent down to Earth to kinda heal and save mankind … but he kept getting distracted by girls and falling in love.” Ebert later met singer Jade Castrinos in Los Angeles. In the summer of 2009, as Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros, Ebert and Castrinos toured the country with a group of fellow musicians in a big white school bus.
Its song “Home” was voted number 15 on the Australian Triple J Hottest 100’s 2009 countdown, the largest music poll in the world.

Alex Ebert – vocals, guitar, percussion, piano
Jade Castrinos – vocals, guitar
Nico Aglietti – guitar, synthesizer, keyboards, vocals

Agreed; this band are phenomenal live. There's such an amazing communal feel through the whole crowd, and Alex acts a bit like Jesus throughout the whole thing. Especially when I saw them at Leeds Festival. He was dressed head-to-toe in white linen, had long messy hair and a fantastic beard, and was reaching out the crowd with his hand as people groped him all over. It was surreal.
