If there’s an amazing new band, It HAS to go through ME first; any by golly good molly Voxhaul Broadcast is the best band to come around in a LONG time. Talk about a band that has their shit together.

We have seen Fitz and the Tantrums play live twice (St Louis and Nashville). Great live show. The band is very approachable after the show for autographs, pictures, or to just talk! Go see them live!! You won’t be disappointed.

August 28, 2010 2:44 pm

fitz is cool, but my vote is for RED CORTEZ!!! they are one of the best new bands I’ve heard in a long long long time!!!
‘Virgin Ideas’ just struck a chord in me when i heard it last week!
thanks for introducing me to this band!

Kate Bixon
August 28, 2010 3:36 pm

I am thoroughly impressed. I have listened to the station for a long time now and it is rare to find REAL talent anymore. Not to take away from the accomplishments of the others. Alas RED CORTEZ shows true promise in a sea mediocrity. In a business that rewards half baked cookie cutter ideals…let’s turn them on there ears. Play the future.
Thank you Kat.

I got a chance to see that band Fitz and The Tantrums in SF a while ago and I was completely blown away. I have been listening to KROQ for years. And I never thought you would give a band like this a chance. It’s refreshing to hear something like this. please play more Of it! they deserve to me heard!

Just play the whole slant album and KROQ will be richer. But otherwise just play “All I’m Good For” and “No Regrets”. Peace out cousins.
