Edward Sharpe admitted yesterday that he does not like it when fans stick forks, and other metal objects to his backing band The Magnetic Zeros.
“It’s frustrating when you’re trying to play a song, and fans keep running on stage, sticking a spoon on Stewart’s face, and then running off stage and chanting ‘Mag-neat-o,'” said Sharpe. “Fans wanna here our hit song, ‘Home,’ not see 10 people with an inexplicable magnetic field around them get metal stuff stuck on them.”
A band meeting on Tuesday was called to help amp up security measures, as the attendance of phenomenon-hungry scientists to the band’s concerts has shot up dramatically. “If we could understand why the band exhibits ferromagnetism, that would be an advancement of physic, biology, and who else knows what,” Said Jason Tanaka, as he threw a stainless steel wrench on stage at a concert last month, “I’m willing to endure the music for the sake of science.”
At press time, Magnetic Zeros, Stewart Cole, Josh Collazo, Christian Letts, Mark Noseworthy, Mitchell Yoshida, Nico Aglietti were stuck to the back-stage fridge after attempting to get beers.
