   About Le Fits

Effortless and Engaging Quirkiness Layered on top of Sweet, Catchy Melodies... - The Bay Bridged

Check out the U.F.I. WEBSITE -


Praise for Near Fits...
"Highly innovative pop exploration" - Performer Magazine

"Fits have earned a gold star with this release... This album is so good it feels like Hawaiian Hula music even though it clearly isn't. Put the 12 tracks on repeat for awhile and while away the hours." - The Owl Mag


"Wonderful indie pop!" - KZSU review


"Near Fits is... brimming with indie pop gems, with a little bit of folk thrown in for good measure...Ball of Twine"...hooked me within the first 10 seconds and the song just gets better and better after that with the guitar stealing the show, dancing and wiggling all over the place." - Skatterbrain

"Each of the dozen tunes is an endearing folksy pop gem with vocals that reminded us of J Mascis." - Aquarius Music Review

Request us on the radio! Smart DJ's on WFMU, KDVS, KALX, KUSF, KEXP, SomaFM IndiePop Rocks, The Current, and KZSU play Near Fits ~

WOAH, Sign Language off the new CD is awesome. It came up on random and my head was like "I know who this is and it's great". Alas, LE FITS!
