FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS IN CONCERT:
Retro indie-pop group Fitz and the Tantrums are keeping the Motown Sound alive and well with their modern take on classic soul and funk. Combining call-and-response vocals,? backbeat tambourines, and vintage-inspired instrumentation, the band's electric live shows are equal parts shimmy and shake, inspiring nonstop dance parties as fans sing along to infectious pop masterpieces like "MoneyGrabber" and "Out of My League." Riding high on the success of their sophomore album More than Just a Dream, Fitz and the Tantrums are set to treat fans to another round of unforgettable shows on tour in 2014.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Michael Fitzpatrick formed LA-based Fitz and the Tantrums in 2008 after purchasing a Conn electronic organ -- an instrument that would prove vital in the development of the band's retro sound. The group performed their first show just one week after their first rehearsal, underscoring an effortless chemistry that was readily apparent on their 2009 debut EP Songs for a Breakup, Vol. 1. After touring with Maroon 5 and performing at SXSW, the band signed with Dangerbird Records for their 2010 debut LP Pickin' Up the Pieces. The album landed at No. 1 on the Billboard's Heatseekers Albums Chart, establishing the group as one of the most promising rising talents in indie-pop and paving the way for 2013 sophomore effort More than Just? a Dream — a Top 40 hit on the Billboard 200.
FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS IN CONCERT:
"Fitz And The Tantrums put on a great concert!!! The setlist was awesome and the crowd was singing and dancing with the band!!!"
"Loved this concert. They were so good -- all their music is so distinct. Excellent musicianship all the way around and TONS of energy."
The whole concert is so high energy, I was dancing the whole time with much of the crowd. They seem like genuine people as well - really appreciative of the fans."
This was our 6th time seeing Fitz and The Tantrums and it was the best yet! The energy was incredible. The venue is one of our favorites (Greenfield Lake Wilmington, NC) and added to our fantastically fun experience. We've seen them in larger venues and this time was just amazing. GFL-please add some gluten friendly food to make it even more perfect. Thanks!
Why did I wait so long to see these guys live? Got tix to this show bc they were relatively cheap and Greenfield Lake Amphitheater is a great venue (tho it was even better before Live Nation took it over). Fitz and the Tantrums did not disappoint! I'd just come back from 5 days at a festival and was still recovering when I went to this show - I didn't sit down the entire show! They were in top form and talked about how they love playing this venue. I will definitely go to every Fitz show in the area again and again. It was a memorable show and a great time.
A beautiful venue for a fun evening! Fitz and the Tantrums always give a great show! So happy they love our small city!
We love Greenfield Lake Amphitheater. The size, location, and early start time are perfect for us. The food, however, was not. We paid $12 for 4 jalape?o poppers and $13 dollars for 4 small chicken tenders and soggy fries. That part was a disappointment. We will eat before we go next time. The band, however, was fantastic! It was our third time seeing Fitz and the Tantrums. Nice booking!
Fits and the Tantrums are a great, fun, high energy band. Hadn’t seen them live before but will go again.
I’ve been a low key fan of fitz and the tantrums fan for years so when I heard they were coming to my favorite venue I snagged a ticket. Boy was glad I did! I might have to become a super fan now. By far one of the most energetic and fun concerts I have been to in years. I will definitely go again to any concert of theirs that is even remotely near me! Loved the experience and the way they interacted with and appreciated the audience.
Great show while they were playing! Doors opened at 6:00, a DJ played until 7:43 and they played until 8:43 before a two song encore. Love Fitz and the Tantrums but I won’t buy ticket next time knowing I’m only going to watch them for an 1:10 mins.
Definitely an awesome, fun time! Don’t be afraid to bring the family.
Enjoyable show! The acts both got on the stage promptly. I liked the opening act as well. Fitz and the Tantrums played most of their hits, but not all, and I would have liked to have heard a few more, to be honest. But it wasn't bad. Lively and energetic. Their craft was stellar. Highly recommended!!!
Lots of energy! Fitz and the Tantrums did not disappoint. I saw them last in Northampton, Mass. about 6 years ago and their voices were just as good now as then. Nicolle and Fitz were very lively and their passion for live performance showed through. I would definitely see them again.
