What is perhaps most humorous about the 2010 album is the place of recording. Pickin’ Up The Pieces, the band’s debut release, was released in 2010, but the song featured in our countdown was released as a single in 2011 so it counts. Lesson learned - Michael Fitzpatrick reacts best to negative love events. One week after the initial rehearsal, Fitzpatrick booked the band’s first show and, you know what they say, the rest was/is history. Like I said, Fitzpatrick had a vision and, well, was lucky enough to meet it quickly. A few more phone calls to other instrumentalists brought the bunch together and after the first rehearsal Fitzpatrick sensed they were ready to play a gig. At King’s suggestion, Fitzpatrick called on soul vocalist Noelle Scaggs.

He then figured he would need a full band and a female vocalist.
The guitar-less sounds were pretty sweet so he decided to keep the six strings out of it. He envisioned the need for horns in his musical compositions so he called on a college friend and saxophonist named James King who joined Fitzpatrick’s musical pursuits. Shortly after a break-up, he began making music, and in 2008, after receiving a call from the same ex-girlfriend that inspired him to make music in the first place, Fitzpatrick acquired an organ that her friend wanted to given away, and started to pump out hit, after hit, after hit. Music that fuses bitter lyrics with lively rhythm and melodies. While most people suffer post-break-up torpor, Fitzpatrick responded to a break-up by choosing to release his energy into canorous, Motown-esque, music. And it works because there are six people in the band!
