The Conniption Fits have
certainly garnered a lot of attention over the last few years, including full-page articles and
reviews in the Manchester (N.H.)
Union Leader and in 2011, were
voted “Best Rock Trio” in NH
Magazine. Along the way, they
have played over 1,200 shows
and have shared the stage with
the likes of Mighty Mighty Bosstones, 3 Doors Down, Blue Oyster Cult, 7 Mary Three, Mountain
and Cinderella to name a few.
“We have many friends to thank,
including Doug Hayes, Brett
Mower and Paul Costley, but
most of all our fans are what really matter the most. Our focus is
nniption Fits
The Co
really outward and on the fans,
not inward on ourselves, and we
work hard to not just be ‘another
rock band.’ When we do it right,
fans leave feeling like they were
a part of a great big party – not
just a show or event – but a part
of the overall experience. That is
really important to us because
without the fans coming to our
shows and buying our CDs, we
would have nothing – so, thank
you fans!”
When all is said and done,
it is the live experience that
hooked this writer, as the Conniption Fits carve out their own
alternative-pop sound that draws
you into their musical
compression chamber, filling the atmosphere with a punchy tone that will
– as I said previously – knock you on
your ass!
Upcoming shows include Gustos in Barre, VT on October 4, the
Railside Tavern in Randolph, Vt on
October 5, the Derryfield Restaurant
in Manchester, NH on October 11, the
Portsmouth (NH) Gas Light Company
on October 12 and New Socials Bar
& Grill in Claremont, NH on October
25. To learn more about the Conniption Fits, book a show or order a new
