It's Hip To Care

Always knew they had good taste in music and DJs, and they sure know how to throw a bash, but the peeps behind Little Radio are also deeply committed to social and environmental issues. So much so, they're putting their time and (alternative) energy where their music is, literally.

Little Radio's entered an exclusive partnership deal with Zero Air Pollution Vehicles (ZAP) -the only manufacturer of electric vehicles in the United States- to become the exclusive dealer of ZAP cars in Los Angeles.

Yeah most people have been goin' the hybrid route these days, but Little Radio's out to prove "the Electric Car is not dead." The showroom, located next to their warehouse (1214 Long Beach Ave Los Angeles, CA 90021) will open on November 24, 2006, showcasing the ZAP Xebra 4-door sedan and 2-door truck, both of which sell for around $10,000, according to the press release.

The company expects to carry more than 5 different models of 100% Electric Cars by the end of next year. See 'em all here.
Also aiming to spread the word about alternative fuels and transportation, L.R.'s got a tour coming up featuring a 45' BioBus powered by BioDiesel fuel, with an exterior wrap designed by Shepard Fairey (OBEY/Giant), as well as ZAP cars available for test drives, going around to schools and events and such.

Check out Saturday's pre-party featuring Giant Drag and Blood Cat Love (DJ Myles Hendrick's much buzzed about band, who just happen to be opening for Jet on their upcoming tour) for a sneak peek.

Their website has more info.
