With dreams of a permanent summer of love, Los Angeles musician Alex Ebert of the dance-punk band Ima Robot reinvented himself as his messiah-like alter ego Edward Sharpe and formed a merry band of '60s fetishists. Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros' wildly lovable 2009 debut, Up From Below, updates the flower-power chants of The Mamas & The Papas with flashes of Arcade Fire grandeur and Polyphonic Spree's stage-filling showmanship, which made them an immediate live draw.
