    They're a big outfit as most indie bands go, but the 13-piece Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros have created quite a buzz in L.A. and in the indie world. Making excellent '60s-style folk rock that could just be called revivalist, with their convert school/tour bus, their back porch acoustics, and their almost communal air, this is one band not to miss.

    ES and the MZ are a relatively young group, coming together in 2007 under Ima Robot frontman Alex Ebert. With obvious influences like Polyphonic Spree and Bob Marley, their subsequent sound is big and embracing. They're a modern indie band, but they're also authentic '60s and '70s pop with more than a little psychedelia, bluegrass, and good old southern rock sprinkled throughout.
