Current Musical Obsession: Fitz and the Trantrums

Fitz and the Tantrums is a soul/pop band from Los Angeles formed in 2008. They were heralded as a "band to watch" in an April 2011 profile in Rolling Stone.

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). Fitzpatrick has said that the band's musical style can be fairly described as "soul-influenced indie pop".

I've totally been rocking out to them! They are so soulful, cool, and smooth. Fitz and the Tantrums will be playing at Coachella this year...unfortunately Cali that would be the only time to catch them! They were actually just the house band for the 2012 Critics Choice Awards.
