In Photos: Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros + Ivan St John @ The Button Factory, Dublin (31.08.11)

Californian crowd-pleasers Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros brought their infectious, euphoric blend of indie and folk to Dublin's Button Factory for a sold-out midweek show. Armed with upbeat tunes like 'Desert Song', 'Brother', 'Carries On' and 'Home', it's hardly surprising that the ten-piece collective seem to have a knack for bringing smiles to faces wherever they go.
 
There were high-fives all round from frontman Alex Ebert as he proceeded to make several forays into the crowd, his band's enthusiasm and energy being lapped up by the hardcore fans down the front. Support on the night came from local lad Ivan St John, and our very own local lad Mark Earley was on hand with his camera lens to bring you these photos.
