EDWARD SHARPE & THE MAGNETIC ZEROS UNVEIL SOULFUL NEW LIVE VIDEO FOR "LIFE IS HARD"
|
LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 19, 2013 - Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros have unveiled a soulful new live video for their single "Life Is Hard". The band recorded the performance during a few days off in New York following their Europe tour this summer. Frontman Alex Ebert said of the process "It was a day of pure chaos, and it is truly amazing that we were able to get the performance we did - I think it may be, so far, the best we have played this song." Check out the video HERE.
The band had two major inspirations to create this video. Ebert explains "One was to, in a visually controlled, poignant, and real way, exhibit and record ourselves live - the performance is entirely live. The other was to respond to the pop music industry of the last 20 or more years, in which performance music videos are nearly always a suped-up, lip-synced karaoke, and a major contributor to that which is flimsy and feigned about pop music today." The band and their fans have always felt the spirit of their music is best captured in live performances. This video gives a glimpse into that world.
Big Top, a new and distinctive circus experience created and curated by the band, will debut at Los Angeles State Historic Park to take place on October 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th for four nights and two days on the weekend including a matinee show on Sunday, October 20th for families. The festivities will take place under a traditional Big Top and include an intimate headlining performance in the round by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, a unique farmer's market, beer gardens, late night happenings, and performances by an eclectic mix of musicians, vaudeville comedy, contortionists, acrobats, puppetry, and interactive performance art.
