As lead singer Michael Fitzpatrick declared on Friday night at the Fillmore Auditorium in Detroit, Fitz and the Tantrums like to get down! This Los Angeles-based band brought an energy to the stage that few other groups are capable of, and by the end of their set, they had won over the entire audience.
Watching Fitz and the Tantrums is like viewing a funky symphony having a ball! The group, which is comprised of lead vocalists Fitz and Noelle Scaggs, drummer John Wicks, keyboardist Jeremy Ruzumna, saxophonist James King and bassist Joseph Karnes, have undeniable chemistry on stage, and their show is an interactive party where the crowd is encouraged to dance and sing along.
They opened their set with “Breakin’ the Chains of Love” and continued to wow the audience with other infectious songs like “Pickin’ Up the Pieces” and “Rich Girl.” Their cover of the Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of These)” was a huge crowd-pleaser. And they closed with their current single, “MoneyGrabber,” a funky tune that makes it impossible not to dance.
Fitz and Scaggs are both captivating performers, and they brought absolute electricity to the stage. Not to be outshone, the rest of the band kept the crowd excited, and King received enthusiastic applause for his solos. At one point during the show, Scaggs declared that she had broken her tambourine from playing it so hard. The broken tambourine seems a fitting metaphor for Fitz and the Tantrums’ live show: they play hard and perform their butts off!
For anyone looking for a fun, interactive concert that’s sure to leave you wanting more, I highly recommend seeing Fitz and the Tantrums. They’re embarking on an extensive summer tour, and their show is not to be missed!
