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."
Had a great time seeing Fitz and the Tantrums at the Belasco. Up close and personal experience. Wife and I had a great time.
Great venue, good sound, fun energetic engaging band. Families were dancing together - awesome.
The show was amazing! So much energy and the band was incredible. You can tell they really enjoy what they’re doing. Their happiness and energy was contagious. My children (5 & 12) and I really enjoyed the show. The Belasco…. Venue was beautiful and our balcony seats were great. Soft cushions to sit on, table service. Great view standing or sitting. Having sat in the Center; Row B; with 2 small children, I couldn’t complain. Getting in the venue was no problem, purchasing the parking pass prior to the show made it a breeze to get in. The table service sucked. It was horrible. The food was cold, it took 45 minutes to come out. I was very disappointed in the service. Over all, review of the band & music 10/10, the service 2/10, the venue itself and acoustics 8/10.
I love this band anyway! Their energy, their sets, the perfect synergy when they play together, they get the crowd going! Even sold out the Belasco is great. Minimal lines for bathroom and bars, great bartenders. The opening act should be reconsidered. He’s just not ready for prime time yet.
Fitz & Tantrums never fail to put on an amazing, high energy show. They are by far one of the most fun bands to see live!! The Belasco was meh. Their "VIP" experience was a joke. Paid $40 extra per person to get into a bar area an hour early that was open to GA once the doors opened. Didn't even serve food until the doors opened at 7:00. DO NOT waste your money. Save is to spend on merch so it goes to the band and not to the venue!
Their bonding with the audience was a plus. Show was good. Definitely worth seeing. Venue was great. Great people. Awesome customer service. Just way too crowded for general admission. Charge more admit less people.
I’ve seen Fitz and the Tantrums and few times and this was far and away my favorite time seeing them. They are such captivating performers and have such a great presence. The energy of the crowd was infectious. I wish I could do it all over again. 10/10
The evening was going well at first. Me and my friend had the time of our lives at the beginning. Until we were mislead. We were instructed to enter an area we were not supposed to enter through. We were instructed to go through the backstage area even though we did not have the Igbo credentials (and we had no idea at the time. We were looking for the vip seating.) Anyway, I went down to the floor to adjourn to the patio to smoke and when I returned they said I could not go back up to join my friend even though I was CLEARLY instructed to go up there. The security team had let me up there prior but would not let me return. I spent the whole night trying to get to my friend and was not able to enjoy the show at all. No one was able to help me there entire night. I was very upset on how everything was handled and I hope that in the future that the direction and guidance is relayed in a more clear fashion to stop this sort of thing from happening again.
I saw the band earlier last year at the innings festival and knew I had to see them again! So glad ace of spades / live nation booked them in Sacramento!
I was fortunate enough to see them last time they were here - which was the LAST concert held before everything was shutdown due to the pandemic. That show was SOLD OUT and they were grateful everyone attended as it was an uncertain time. We ALL were grateful is it was a wonderful experience. This show was also SOLD OUT, and I expect them to be SOLD OUT EVERYTIME they come here as they have earned fans for life.
From the first song to the last, Fitz and the Tantrums does not disappoint. Fun, upbeat music. Wonderful, talented musicians and singers! The only downpoint I could say would have been the second band, St Paul and the Broken Bones. A little went a long way and I have never wanted a show to get over quicker. Within the first song of Fitz and the Tantrums, though, I had forgotten all about it and moved on to my happy place! There were a couple of younger kids and their parents next to us in the front row. After the show, Fitz came up to the little boy and spoke with him personally and gave him the set list. Great that he recognizes young fans as well. Highly recommended show!
Absolutely incredible! They sang, danced, jumped, and did a full 360 of surprises. Andy Grammer is insanely talented as well. He performed poetry, sang, danced, and ran around the entire arena! They sang the wrong party together and NAILED IT!! Both artists are AMAZING!! And I would definitely see them again. This was my second time seeing Andy and yet again, my jaw was plastered to the floor. My dad was blown away and couldn’t believe what his eyes witnessed. The joy of the concert has kept me up and motivated all week long. Although I’ve seen Andy before, this experience was unlike any other I’ve experienced. 100000000/10 definitely recommend
I had never seen Andy Grammar and completely forgot what songs he sang. He blew me away! He had so much energy and put on a great show! As for Fitz & the Tantrums, they were amazing as always! I always love to see them when they play in LA. I look forward to seeing them again the next time they go on tour.
Took my wife and son to see Andy Grammer at the Greek and had the time of our lives! Andy was a complete inspiration! Heart, soul and sound were a joy. Thanks Andy!
they had so much energy and kept the vibe up the whole time!! was an amazing show and we didn’t even know all the songs!
Everyone was on time, great performances by both Andy and Fitz. The energy was up there!
This is the 6th or 7th time that I've seen Fitz And The Tantrums...and, I've never been disappointed. The fact that this was the last show on the Wrong Party Tour and in their home town made it particularly special. That being said both Andy Grammar and Fitz played like they had something to prove. I guess in part because it was local and so many family members were there for the show. And, because there was a sizable Andy Grammar crowd and their response to him was as always loving and loud...Fitz needed to come out with a lot of energy...and, they did...but, it took them a couple of songs to get into the groove and pull the audience in...Once that was on track, their energy was up and the audience was there for them...even on some new material. They were in perfect stride by the time they entered their encore and really soared at that point...I think they were powered by the idea that it was time for a rest after so many months of touring...I always tell people to catch Fitz and the Tantrums live because they won't be disappointed.
Not a lot of energy. Kid of went through the motions
One of my favorite bands (Idk how you could possibly not dance—or do some cardio—when any single one of their songs plays) and one of the best venues I've ever been to. What's not to love?! It was a great show. 10/10 would recommend. My only complaint is that The Greek could chill out on their food and beverage pricing. Paying over $100 for two (single) shots and two beers is aggressive even for L.A.
Seeing Fitz and the Tantrums at the Greek Theatre was amazing!!!!!!!!!! I had the best time!!!!!!!!!!
