Here's what Fitz has to say:

Hello Everyone!

This is particularly great news for this talented band.   As much as we adored their last release, the mix was rough technically, and every time a song of theirs got airplay this year, my sound guy husband would give a long suffering sigh and say, "I wish someone who had a clue would mix for them."    Sometimes wishes do come true....at least going forward.

It was our great pleasure to shoot Fitz and The Tantrums yesterday.  They left warm, sunny La La land to bring us 3 nights of hot R&B/soul/funk/80's/hip hop genre defying fun at Metro!

ChiIL Mama was thrilled to shoot their set and catch up with 4 of the 6 band members for an interview.  Then we scored a private one on one interview with the resident dad in the group, where we continued our series on How Creatives Parent and How Parents Create.   Their drummer is father to twin daughters, and was happy to reaffirm our core beliefs that there IS indeed LIFE AFTER BIRTH.   We'll be featuring that interview tomorrow.

Rockers parent and parents rock!
