From Wikipedia: Fitz and The Tantrums are an American soul/indie pop band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 2008. Their debut studio album, Pickin' Up the Pieces, released in August 2010, has received critical acclaim and reached #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.[1] They were heralded as a "band to watch" in an April 2011 profile in Rolling Stone.[2] They have performed their hit single "MoneyGrabber" on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live, on TBS' Conan and on NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and have toured extensively in the United States and abroad. They are signed to Dangerbird Records.
The band consists of Michael Fitzpatrick (lead vocals and keyboards), Noelle Scaggs (vocals and percussion), James King (saxophone, flute, trumpet, and harmonica), Joseph Karnes (bass guitar), Jeremy Ruzumna (keyboards) and John Wicks (drums and percussion). They are produced by Chris Seefried, who is also a co-writer.
I personally can't wait to see them. Short of Phish, they may be the band I haven't yet seen that I am most excited for. I noticed they have been to Daryl's House(Daryl Hall). From Wiki: In October 2010, Daryl Hall invited the band to perform on his popular web-series Live from Daryl's House.[14] They played a seven-song set including four Tantrums songs, early Hall song "Girl I Love You", "Perkiomen", and finishing with "Sara Smile". "I walked back into the kitchen of his big old house in upstate New York and his mother was there," recalled Fitzpatrick. "She said, 'Fitz, come over here. You sound just like my son!'" While I'm not holding my breath, am hoping he somehow gets thrown into the mix and have another go similar to Hall & Chromeo. I see them being a late afternoon Which(obviously am hoping for late night if with Daryl).
Has anyone seen them live and care to give their take? When do you think they will play? Looks like Friday but when?
I saw them at Lolla last year. I knew they'd be good, but I truly didn't expect to have as much fun as I did! They had the whole crowd dancing, it was great! I'd imagine they will have a day slot.
Watch this clip from Lolla, shit gets live near the end!
I saw them last summer at DMB Caravan and LOVED their set. The energy was amazing. They are definitely on my must-see list. I don't own their album though, so I cannot comment on what I think they'll play.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

They also cover "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurhytmics. They are fantastic live and very fan friendly. When I saw them in Knoxville, they stayed at the merch table until every fan who wanted to meet them/ take pictures/ get autographs was gone.

I saw them about a year ago in Minneapolis and they seriously shake it down! Doubt I'll miss their set, they'd have to be head-to-head against someone really awesome for me to miss them.
White boy has SOUL... and he ain't too hard on the eyes, either! (win-win!)
I fell in love with them the first time I heard "Money Grabber" on the radio. They're one of the acts I most hoped to see on the lineup - so yeah, I'm just a wee bit excited to finally see them.
I've seen them a handful of times. First time was at Voodoo in 2010 with about 20 people and the energy was exactly the same as their packed show at the National in Richmond in November. Set list doesn't change much, (they have been supporting the same record for a couple years) but they have been throwing some new songs in and some covers. I imagine they'll have even more new stuff at Bonnaroo to go along with the regular songs: Moneygrabber, We Dont Gotta Work It Out, Mr President, Rich Girl, Breakin the Chains of Love...
If none of you guys have seen them, be prepared to fall in love with Noelle, the backup singer. She is unbelievable in so many ways...
not sure why i havent commented in here yet, but i am very excited for this show. was really hoping they were going to be there last year, this show is a must see for me.

Yeah, I was pretty pissed when they weren't on the lineup last year. This makes up for it. I'm hoping for a few new songs.
I was casually watching the Lolla webcast last year and these guys made me sit up and pay attention. They really killed it. Can't wait to see them this year. I'd kill for a tent show but they seem like they could fill What as good as anyone.
Definitely my top on headliner this year... I'm beyond addicted to their album... I need to slow it down so I don't burn out, there is still 88 days left...
I was lying in a burned out basement With the full moon in my eyes. I was hoping for replacement When the sun burst thru the sky. There was a band playing in my head And I felt like getting high.
