Were the bands Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and Harvey Danger formed in the same city?
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros is an American folk rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 2007. The group is led by lead singer Alex Ebert. The band's name is based on a story Ebert wrote in his youth, about a messianic figure named Edward Sharpe. Drawing from roots rock, folk, gospel, and psychedelic music, the band's image and sound evoke the hippie movement of the 1960s and 1970s. The group's first show was played July 18, 2007 at The Troubadour in West Hollywood, California. Their first studio album, "Up from Below", was released on July 7, 2009 on Community Records and featured the popular single "Home". The group released their second full-length album, "Here", on May 29, 2012, and third album, "Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros", on July 23, 2013. Their fourth studio album, "PersonA", was released in April 2016.
The Velveteins The Velveteins is an indie rock band from Edmonton, Canada. The group consists of core songwriting members Spencer Morphy (guitar, singer) and Addison Hiller (percussion, singer). Originating as a solo project by Morphy, The Velveteins group was formed in 2014 after Morphy's extended trip Down Under during which he "fell in love with the psychedelic music and lush beaches of Australia". The band's self-produced first effort, "Fresh Claws EP," was released in 2014 and marked the first collaborative work by Morphy and Hiller. A second release, "A Hot Second With The Velveteins," was produced and recorded by Lincoln Parish of Cage The Elephant in his home studio in Nashville, Tennessee. This release received critical acclaim locally and internationally. The band has played CMW in Toronto and has opened for high profile indie acts such as Milo Greene, USS, and July Talk.
