Sage Against the Machine is an L.A.-based band of punk-rock native plant nerds who might do for native plants what the Beach Boys did for surfing.

In a cavernous convention hall in Northern California, at the end of a long, loooong day of important, yes, but eventually mind-numbing presentations about native plants, nearly 200 scientists, botanists and students had had enough. It was pushing 9 p.m. and everyone, exhausted from paying attention, was edging toward the doors and the beckoning bars. That's when six native-plant nerds took the stage, plugged in their musical instruments and sonically set the room on fire. L.A.

Can I join your band?' And I said, 'I want to join too,'' said Calhoun, who studied cello in college, 'got tapped out with the classical scene' and eventually started playing electric bass for 'fun, punk school garage bands.' About a year later, Sanchez brought an intern at his nursery to practice, Jason Suddith, to play rhythm guitar. And just like that, Sage Against the Machine had six members and a camaraderie that went beyond the music.
