Live From The Current's Studio and Events
Fitz and the Tantrums perform in The Current studio
by Bill DeVille and Fitz and the Tantrums
February 24, 2011
Emerging from Los Angeles' growing indie-soul scene, Fitz & the Tantrums began as the one-man project of Michael Fitzpatrick, but has now expanded into a seven-piece band. Fitzpatrck--"Fitz" for short--plays the church organ and shares vocal duties with singer Noelle Scaggs.
The band includes all of the usual soul & indie instruments, including horns, but with one notable exception--guitars. This helps lend their sound a smooth, nostalgic pop feel, perfectly joining indie-pop and retro R&B sounds.
Fitz & the Tantrums stopped by The Current studios to play some songs.
Songs performed: "Don't Gotta Work It Out," "L.O.V.," "Moneygrabber."
