Led by IMA Robot’s Alex Ebert, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros are set to begin their residency at Little Radio’s newly finished space at The Regent Theatre, in downtown LA. In addition to tonight’s show, the band will return to the Regent again on May 7th and May 14th.

Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros’ debut EP, “Up From Below”, will be available digitally May 19th, and their full length release will come out on July 14th.
