Fitz and The Tantrums is a Los Angeles-based indie pop and neo-soul band that burst onto the music scene in 2008 with an irresistible blend of retro soul, funky rhythms, and infectious pop energy. Founded by singer-songwriter Michael "Fitz" Fitzpatrick alongside the powerhouse vocalist Noelle Scaggs, the band quickly built a devoted following through their electrifying live performances and emotionally charged sound.
Their debut album *Pickin' Up the Pieces* (2010) earned widespread critical acclaim, showcasing a raw, vintage soul aesthetic that felt both fresh and timeless. As the band evolved, so did their sound — leaning into synth-driven pop with albums like *More Than Just a Dream* and their massively successful self-titled record, which produced the smash hit *HandClap*, a song that dominated radio charts and became one of the defining anthems of 2016.
Known for their high-energy concerts that feel more like dance parties than traditional shows, Fitz and The Tantrums have shared stages with major acts and headlined festivals worldwide. With tight grooves, soaring vocals, and an undeniable chemistry between their lead singers, the band continues to be one of the most exciting and feel-good acts in contemporary pop music.
