Daryl Hall is having a Tantrum much to the delight of his fans. The latest guest to play Live From Daryl’s House are LA Neo-Soul funksters Fitz and the Tantrums.
Fitz and the Tantrums features Fitz, Noelle and saxophonist James King.
Their seven-song set with Daryl Hall featured ‘Pickin’ Up The Pieces’, ‘Breakin’ The Chains of Love’, ‘Dear Mr President’, ‘Moneygrabber’, ‘Girl, I Love You’ and Daryl’s 1970 track ‘Perkiomen’.
Fitz is a huge Hall & Oates fan. “To get to play with one of my biggest influences and idols was a dream come true,” raves Fitz, who founded the band and recorded their debut LP on an old church organ he purchased for $50. “Daryl and the guys put it down and we all left it on the floor! We went pretty deep into the Daryl Hall catalog to sing the first song Daryl ever recorded. It was a day we will never forget!”
“These guys are referencing a certain kind of sixties soul that I find refreshing,” says Daryl.
Fitz and the Tantrums feature in episode 35 of Live From Daryl’s House.
