Twenty three-year-old Chicago native Ezra Furman received the greatest Bar Mitzvah present ever.  At the mere age of thirteen he was given a guitar, and ever since he has been creating memorable and melodic songs with reckless abandon. Ezra's fantastic tales challenge your worldview while pulsing with a frenetic rock energy that could make even the dead dance. In 2008, Ezra & The Harpoons appeared by invitation, at a Lou Reed tribute at SXSW, performing for Lou Reed himself,  graduated college and recorded their current album, Inside The Human Body, with producer Brian Deck. As of 2009, the band has been on successful trips across the U.S. and Europe, the latter including a well received set at the Primavera Festival in Barcelona and in Chicago at Lollapalooza. The band is currently taking their residency to Los Angeles to record a new album with producer Doug Boehm [French Kicks, Starsailor] and after which they will be heading out on an US tour with Delta Spirit this summer, followed by a couple of dates in europe in july/august.
