Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Fool's Gold, and Local Natives at High Noon Saloon
Given the fact that L.A.'s Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros is fronted by Alex Ebert, formerly of L.A. electro-rock group Ima Robot, it’s not too surprising the band would find a comfy foothold. Ima Robot’s momentum largely fizzled behind the quickly dissipating electro wave, leading Ebert toward the ensemble-style folk-pop of his newest alter ego, Edward Sharpe. Ebert conducts a 12-person band onstage, where he often accentuates his Devendra Banhart freak-folk look with bare feet. Opening band Fool's Gold roots its sound in the contentedly jittering guitars and percussion of highlife and other African musical traditions, but also incorporating plenty of Middle Eastern flavor, mainly thanks to Luke Top's Hebrew-language vocals. Based in L.A., the band captures a credibly warm, international sound on its recent self-titled album.
