Just game across Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.  Some Rusted Root sound without the late 90s jam/pop bandishness and with some deep south soul mixed with CA grooviness.  Yes, and a little hipster—or maybe just alternative (maybe those are synonymous right now; maybe not?).  If they are hipster, they are old school hipster…as in hippie.

UPDATE: LA Time coins “hippie-ster” to describe them.  http://articles.latimes.com/2009/may/19/entertainment/et-edwardsharpe19.  I like that.

They’re playing at Bonaroo in the summer.  Any Tennesseans out there up for a trip back to your home state?
