Fitz and the Tantrums have announced their new live album, Fitz and the Tantrums: Live in Chicago, to be released on October 2 – marking the tenth anniversary of the band’s breakthrough debut album, Pickin’ Up The Pieces. Their single “L.O.V. (Live In Chicago)”  is available everywhere today.

“It is hard to believe that it has been ten years already! To be reminded of the beautiful memories that helped launch our career is genuinely humbling and fills us all with immense gratitude for everyone that has supported us along the way.  We are excited to share and relive all of these moments with our fans,”  shares Co-Vocalist Noelle Scaggs.

The live album is arriving in a moment in time where fans and artists around the world are accepting the indefinite shut down of the live music scene, and its crushing effect on thousands of livelihoods. The show was recorded in 2011 during a sold-out 2-night stand at the legendary Chicago venue Metro, which is now hosting a GoFundMe campaign for survival due to the effects of the COVID-19 shutdown. 

Available for the first time as live tracks, that add six additional performances previously not included in the original broadcast on the Palladia Network, Fitz and the Tantrums: Live in Chicago captures a special moment in time, displaying the bands’ thrilling mix of pop hooks and biting narration delivered via the onstage chemistry of lead singers Michael Fitzpatrick and Noelle Scaggs. The concise musicianship of The Tantrums, a guaranteed wrecking crew made up of James King (Saxophone/Flute), Joseph Karnes (bass), Jeremy Ruzumna (keyboards) and John Wicks (drums) gets the crowd in motion through a setlist that delivers the bands’ early catalog and their signature brand of contagious indie-soul. 

Fitz and The Tantrums recently released their fourth full-length album All The Feels, which follows the band’s eponymous 2016 release that spawned the group’s biggest hit to date, “HandClap.”  The RIAA-certified 2x Platinum single has logged more than 400 million global streams. The band has also brought the infectious energy of their live shows to the small screen, with nationally televised performances of “HandClap”  on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars, Good Morning America, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, NBC’s TODAY, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, America’s Got Talent, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and the syndicated Ellen DeGeneres Show among others.
