LOS ANGELES, CA – September 27, 2016 – Fitz and The Tantrums will be performing their hit single “HandClap” tonight on “Dancing With The Stars,” which airs at 8/7c on ABC.
Shortly after, the band will embark on their “Come Get Your Love” fall North American headline tour, which kicks off with a pair of West Coast dates – an October 12 show at the historic Fox Theater in Oakland, CA and a hometown concert at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles on October 14. Tickets are available here at www.fitzandthetantrums.com/tour. See below for itinerary.
“HandClap,” which the band has performed on Good Morning America and America’s Got Talent, can also be heard in the advertising campaign for the Fiat 500X Crossover and The CW’s 2016 Summer and Fall Image Campaigns. Watch the official video, directed by Marc Klasfeld (Wiz Khalifa, Twenty One Pilots), HERE. The band also performed the song on Ellen DeGeneres Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The song is Top 20 (18*) on the Hot AC chart while Sirius’ Alternative Nation has voted “HandClap” the #1 song on several occasions for its “Top 18” countdown.
The Los Angeles Times called “HandClap” a contender for “2016’s Song of the Summer” in this feature, which takes a look at the songwriting process behind the track and radio’s ecstatic response to it. “Fitz & The Tantrums deliver hook upon hook on catchy new single ‘HandClap,'” said Idolator and Harper’s Bazaar hailed the track as a “cheeky dance floor seduction ballad.”
USA Today put “Roll Up,” another album track, on its list of the “10 best songs of the week,” noting how it’s “infectious, pop-y, and hard not to bop around to when it floats in your ears.” The Boston Globe observed, “the album proves emphatically that Fitz can still craft a catchy chorus.”
Fitz and The Tantrumsis the follow-up to More Than Just a Dream, which has racked up over 76 million album streams to date. The 2013 album contained the Gold-certified singles “The Walker” and “Out Of My League.“ Both tracks topped Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart – a feat accomplished by only three other artists in the chart’s 25-year history.
Fitz and The Tantrums are: Fitz (vocals), Noelle Scaggs (vocals/tambourine), James King (saxophone), Jeremy Ruzumna (keyboards), John Wicks (drums) and Joseph Karnes (bass).
