| Description |
Last year Mayer Hawthorne demonstrated the vitality of L.A.'s retro-soul scene with his widely celebrated debut, A Strange Arrangement. Might Fitz & the Tantrums repeat the trick in 2010? This local sextet has been buzzing big lately on the strength of a five-song EP, Songs for a Break Up, Volume 1, that attracted praise from tastemakers like Adam Levine of Maroon 5. Now they've just completed a string of shows with Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, they're halfway through this month's Thursday-night residency at Spaceland, and they're preparing for the August 24 release of their first full-length on L.A.'s Dangerbird Records. In other words, these '60s-obsessed dudes (and dudette) are teed up for some serious breakout success. If you're the type who relishes being ahead of the game, get in on Fitz's neo-Motown action now.
