Artist: Tantrums

Get out your Nirvana t-shirt and torn fishnet stockings, Slutever is ready to invade your personal space. Their unapologetic form of garage rock will have you pleasantly intrigued, but leave you feeling somewhat violated. The fuzzy, reverb-driven punch delivered by the candy-lovin' duo may prove to be endearing, but don't mistake it for being sweet or cute. The self-proclaimed "mallrats" have grown up a lot since 2010's Sorry I'm Not Sorry , but that doesn't mean they suddenly forgot how to throw a tantrum on stage. Their show tonight at Kung Fu Necktie opening for Savannah, Georgia's [...]

Having been around since 2009 and gigged with the likes of Caribou , Mount Kimbie and Four Tet , it's fair to say that Melbourne outfit TANTRUMS aren't exactly new to the game, in modern terms at least. Surprising to learn then that their self titled EP released tomorrow is in fact their debut outing, showing that slow and steady is indeed still a tactic, albeit one adopted by few acts. Recorded with the help of Pablo Clements and James Griffith in Brighton earlier this year, it's a collection of sparse, brooding pop numbers, both [...]

Tweet Melbourne electronic outfit Tantrums are finally set to deliver their debut EP next month to follow up their 2010 release Anomie. Originally a duo formed by Jade McInally (vocals, bass) and Sarah Phelan (electronics), the band eventually expanded into a five piece and recorded the self titled record late last year in Brighton with Pablo Clements and James Griffith, a collaboration that came on the back of supporting UNKLE on their Australian tour. The first single, the understated slow built 'Maylands' starts [...]

Apenas el año pasado hablábamos con entusiasmo de Fitz and the Tantrums en Under , nuestro espacio dedicado a las recomendaciones y novedades musicales. Recordemos que el grupo, liderado por el músico Michael Fitzpatrick, editó en 2010 su primer larga duración Pickin’ Up the Pieces , placa que les ganó el favor de numerosos sitios de música y que los puso en el mapa gracias a sus pegajosas melodías de influencias soul y piano seguro. El grupo ha estado promocionando esta placa con una larga gira en conciertos solistas y como abridor de grupos [...]

A juzgar por las fotos y los videos de la banda, pensé que hablar con Fitz iba a ser de esas pláticas complicadas en las que tienes que echarle ganas para sacar conversación, o mínimo que no se la pasen mal mientras les haces las preguntas. Oh, gran sorpresa, el tipo es de lo más agradable y simpático. Fitz And The Tantrums se formó en 2008 cuando Michael Fitzpatrick recibió una llamada de su ex-novia diciéndole que su vecino se estaba mudando y que estaba vendiendo todo lo que tenía.. Y entre esas [...]

If there's one band out there that can draw in a crowd of all ages, a band that defies time periods and brings a smile to each face that is lucky enough to experience them, it is without a doubt Fitz & the Tantrums . I saw this band in Cleveland this past summer at a free show they did at the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, and I was blown away. Fronted by the effervescent Michael Fitzpatrick, or Fitz as we know him, the band comprises Noelle Scaggs (who could give Aretha a [...]

There were highlights and low points at Brazil's SWU Music And Arts Festival over the weekend, and we'll just leave it up to you to determine where the two following video clips lie on that spectrum. The first clip features Kanye West performing his My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy anthem "All Of The Lights" with a guest appearance by Fergie (who was also at the SWU fest with the Black Eyed Peas). The second is Courtney Love having an expletive-riddled meltdown over an audience member who NME [...]

Fitz & the Tantrums @ Summerstage 2011 ( more by Bryan Kremkau ) Though I don't see it on the Livestream (or this one , or this one ), Fitz & the Tantrums are playing stripped down versions of a couple of their songs ("Moneygrabber" and "Dear Mr. President") at Zuccotti Park for Occupy Wall Steet right now (11:30am on 11/10). Fitz says: "We wanted to show our support to the Occupy Wall Street protestors everywhere who are keeping the focus on the culture of greed [...]

By Laura McWhorter They say good things come in threes. Chipmunks, amigos, Austin Powers movies… In keeping with this rule, Fitz and the Tantrums will be making their third appearance of the year in Boston this Friday, November 11th . The L.A. outfit has been mercilessly touring for 15-months in support of their breakout album, ‘Pickin’ Up the Pieces’ and each time the show only gets better. We had the pleasure of catching up with Michael ‘Fitz’ Fitzpatrick last week...

Last night's Mountain Stage concert featured Bearfoot, The Sweetback Sisters, Katie Costello, Fitz & the Tantrums and Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers. Let's be honest here. I really only went to the concert for The Sweetback Sisters and Fitz & the Tantrums. As vastly different as the two bands are, they were equally entertaining and [...]

Los Angeles soul/pop band Fitz and the Tantrums had something special the moment they formed as a band. So much so that bands like Maroon 5 and Flogging Molly quickly snatched them up to open their shows. The band’s first full-length album, “Pickin’ Up the Pieces,” caught the attention of critics and music lovers with catchy bass lines, danceable hits and the vocal talents of singer Noelle Scaggs, making it soar up the charts last year. They even made my Best Albums of 2010 list . Get ready to dance when Fitz and [...]

Fitz & the Tantrums' full-length debut, Pickin' Up the Pieces, mixes a brassy, retro soul style with catchy Brit Pop and thumping garage rock. Though not quite as exciting and funky as bands like Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears or Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Fitz & the Tantrums have a much more laidback, [...]
