Alex Ebert was the singer of the LA-based outfit Ima Robot with a major label deal and all the stress that goes with it. So, after some very attitude-changing realizations about himself and his state of mind, he started a new band with new sound and a new outlook on life. Enter Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros with their spirited folk tunes touching down in Ennio Morricone and psychedelic territory from time to time and staying catchy enough to sing along to and dance with the band. We spoke with Ebert before their show in Austin at The Independent to hear about the secret ingredient to a happy band.

We're pleased to announce our favorite hippie troupe is headed to Austin in November. That's right, the rag-tag, bus-dwelling clan of neu-folk rockers are playing at the Independent on November 6. If you're not familiar, get with it: KUT has been playing their record pretty regularly, and their Letterman appearance (they played "Home") was incredible.
