Los Angeles-based funk/soul band Fitz & The Tantrums have had a breakout year, and they're poised for even bigger success moving forward.

The six-piece is fronted by vocalist Michael Fitzpatrick, who formed the band in 2008.  After purchasing a old electric piano for $50, Fitz immediately wrote the song "Breakin' the Chains of Love" and was instantly inspired to form a band.
