It all started with a phone call. The X. Best to let voicemail pick that one up! YOU HAVE 1 NEW MESSAGE: “Hey, sorry to call but my neighbor has got to leave L.A in a hurry, he’s selling everything including this old church organ for 50 bucks. Do you want it?” This was worth the pain of calling the heartbreaker. “He’s got someone coming later today to see it, I don’t know what kind it is, if it works…it’s gigantic” “Pay him, pay him now! Put the 50 dollars in his hand!”. “Okay but the landlord says it has to be out of the basement tonight”. 13 phone calls to piano movers and 50 dollars later four guys were trying to fit this thing through the front door. That was the beginning. “Breakin’ the Chains of Love” was written that night and the inspiration for the record was born. All the pain of splitting with someone poured out into this 5 song EP of 1960’s inspired Soul music. SONGS FOR A BREAK-UP VOL.1 was recorded entirely in Fitz’s living room, using one crappy old mic. The songs are influenced by ’67 AM radio, Motown and early Hall and Oates records. Fitz was born in France and moved to L.A. as a child. This half French, half Irish kid fended off the California rays with a lot of sunscreen to emerge as an artist with a vision. A soulful voice with infectious songs, Fitz’s music makes you wanna’ grab a tambourine and dance.
"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell." Bill Margold, Cinema Seen, L.A. X..Press
Frickin' awesome!!! We can't stop listening to your beautiful music. Saw you guys (and Lady) at Red Rocks and bought your EP as soon as we got home. Also had the chance to film the last song you performed that night, which is also posted on our page. Can't wait to see you next time your in Denver....
Spent every waking moment with "Chains of Love" organ and sax ditties in my head since i seen you guys at Red Rocks. I am hooked and bought album last night. Great live vibe, we were jammin out in the front. Thank You and come to Colorado Springs, CO soon!
You won me over the instant you started playing. Portland can be an unresponsive and pretentious crowd, but I know I'm not the only one who left the show impressed.
Last nite's show was brilliant, all 4 of my friends that had never seen/heard of your music LOVED IT, but I knew they would. Can't wait til the Greek show. Thank you for another awesome musical evening!
