Fitz & The Tantrums Occupy Wall Street Via Unplugged Jams

Los Angeles-based indie soul group Fitz and The Tantrums occupied Wall Street on Thursday, performing unplugged renderings of their hits "MoneyGrabber" and "Dear Mr. President" at Zuccotti Park. Appropriately suited for the times, "MoneyGrabber" sings about being run dry and paybacks while "Dear Mr. President" asks the Prez to please put his foot down.

Today's video lunch not only sports a mean tambourine, drum & saxophone, it showcases how activism can be applied through music. Here's to hoping Fitz and his Tantrums serenade their hometown occupation, Occupy L.A.

Scrub through to 3:17 for "Dear Mr. President."

In regards to the Occupy movement, Fitz, according to our tipster, wrote,

We wanted to show our support to the Occupy Wall Street protestors everywhere who are keeping the focus on the culture of greed that is pervasive in our financial institutions and the lack of reform and accountability that has taken place. We are not anti-capitalist but we are not in support of an untethered Wall Street without regulations and without the Glass-Steagall act that protected our society after the great depression up until the 1980's. We Need Reform Now.

We danced along with the band in July. Check out our review here.
