Fitz and the Tantrums is a Los Angeles-based indie pop and neo-soul band formed in 2008 by Michael Fitzpatrick, who goes by "Fitz." The group emerged from the LA underground scene with a sound rooted in classic soul and Motown influences, built around punchy horns, vintage keyboards, and the dual vocal chemistry between Fitzpatrick and Noelle Scaggs. Known for their high-energy live performances, the band has built a devoted following through years of relentless touring. Their music blends infectious grooves, feel-good hooks, and soulful emotion — a combination that has made them a reliable fixture at festivals and on pop radio alike.
