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 [...]

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, [...]

Just know that I'm not entirely happy with you right now. If you have heard of them, then great job, but don't get too cocky.
