Musicians Inspire Fashion: Fitz and The Tantrums


This blog post is primarily about the band.  If you are not interested in music, you may want to turn back now.  Apparel Search was compelled to share this news with you because we really like the photo above.  Musicians have an interesting sense of style.  It is nice to see them grouped together so we can get a quick glimpse at band fashion.

On the heels of "The Walker" - Fitz and The Tantrums' second single to hit No. 1 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart in less than a year - being certified Gold, the Los Angeles-based band announces plans to remain on the road through November 2014. Thefall headline run will kick off on September 2 at Water Street Music Hall in Rochester, NY. Beginning in November, the band will be joined by special guest Big Data on select dates, including an evening at New York City's Terminal 5 (November 12) and a sold-out show at First Avenue in Minneapolis (November 21). See below for itinerary.

Fitz and The Tantrums roll into Chicago this week for a performance on the Lollapalooza Main Stage on Saturday, August 2, and an official Lollapalooza aftershow at the Metro on August 3, which is sold out. While in town, Fitz will be singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" at the Chicago Cubs vs. Colorado Rockies game this Thursday, July 31 at Wrigley Field.  On August 25, Fitz and The Tantrums will play a three-song set at the Opening Ceremony for the 2014 US Open in Arthur Ashe Stadium at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, NY.  The performance will be carried live by ESPN as part of the cable network's comprehensive coverage of the US Open.

Fitz and The Tantrums are: Fitz (vocals), Noelle Scaggs (vocals/tambourine), James King (saxophone), Jeremy Ruzumna (keyboards), John Wicks (drums) and Joseph Karnes (bass).
