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 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."

Love the band, loved the show and a great venue. Only wish was that they sang even longer.
Beautiful venue, super fun they started with a local band for an opener and some great energy. Fitz sounded great and the song choices were on point. The thing is, when you make that much effort to get to a venue that isn't easy to access and through enormously long security lines, you expect the headliner to play more than an hour and 10 minutes....and that included the encore. VERY disappointed in the short show. We paid hundreds of dollars for tickets, parking, food, etc. It seems that the band could have rewarded us with much more music.
This Concert had everyone moving! The Bands (the opening act Kuinka and Fitz and the Tantrums) had such amazing energy and really engaged the crowd. We had so much fun and danced so hard. Thank you for this awesome show
Wonderful artists. Upbeat music and ample interaction with the audience. Great for some happy sunshine vibes. The hour performance went by too quickly - I could have listened to them for hours. Venue was exceptional and security was as quick as could be with the amount of people.
A beautiful venue. Fitz and the Tantrums delivers again. This is my second time seeing them in just as many years and they gave a great performance, performing new songs while making time for old favorites as well.
This was a great concert! I will definitely go see them again. The CSM venue is always wonderful as well.
Great show, tons of fun and dancing. They have great music to get up and dance to.
Great show, sound was spot on and venue was great! First time there and I'd have to say the bartenders are spot on, I didn't have to wait no more than 5 minutes to get a drink at a crowded bar. Fitz and the Tantrums were great.....high energy and got the crowd moving!
Great show, Fitz and the whole band have so much positive energy. Have seen them 4 times and every show is great.
This was such a fun concert. They sounded great. Crowd was engaged and it was a great time.
From the opening act to the featured artists the night was simply amazing!! There was such great energy from the artists and the crowd. The venue was perfect! I just couldn’t help smiling the entire night. First at that adorable young man Sammy Rash, then oh my goodness the beautiful souls of Fitz and his marvelous tantrums. It was definitely one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Thank you!!!
High energy and so much fun. I took my 12 year old daughter to see Fitz and the Tantrums and they made a lifelong fan out of both of us. Thank you for such an awesome show!
Highly recommend this band. Fun let the crowd entertained danced the whole time
First time visit to Big Night Live, Boston. The venue and the concert lived up to its name somewhat - Big Night Live. My friend and I arrived just before the main act arrived on stage. The venue was packed, the atmosphere was good and security was present but not invasive. If one was not lucky enough to be upfront either on the main floor or one of the raised floors in the club one's sight lines can be difficult for people with less height. I stand six feet one inch and found the stage to be less than easy to view mainly due to the number of people in the audience and the floor layout. I will return and enjoy the club for another show when the time comes. However. if management really wants their customers to have a better experience and unrestricted view of the performers they would restrict the number of people, a smaller audience would provide a much better entertainment experience and then the venue would truly deserve the TITLE "BIG NIGHT LIVE BOSTON"
The Fitz and The Tantrums show was great. The Big Night Live venue was clean and a really nice place to see a show.
Saw Fitz & the Tantrums, they were awesome! We could have used more info upfront from BNL (bought tickets w/o detail saying they were SRO). Read some reviews & realized we’d be standing the whole time. No bueno! So I reserved a table. Didn’t tell me not to get in the GA line - you go through Guy Fieri’s to get to tables. Once we were seated it was outstanding! Service was good, prices are outrageous but you aren’t actually buying tickets for the performance. Def the way to go! Only venue criticism is the lack of bathrooms on one whole side of the venue. Very inconvenient, esp irritating for VIP table patrons.
Longtime fan of Fitz & The Tantrums and oh, man, they KILLED this show!! Nothing short of amazing!! Lack of a star for some unpreparedness from the venue but all and all a great night!!
The performance was great, the venue so so. Visibility not good from where we stood.
My first time seeing Fitz and the Tantrums. They brought amazing energy to the 9:30 Club. Awesome venue for shows and had a great time seeing them. Would love to see them again and will def go back to 9:30 for other events.
Show was good. Band was awesome! Lights behind the band were annoying. Couldn’t see much of the band with the lights blaring in the background. Other than that, no complaints.
