Passion Pit - MP3, Frenchkiss Records EP, 2008 tour dates (tonight, a Pianos residency)
DOWNLOAD: Passion Pit - Sleepyhead (MP3)
Boston/Cambridge's Passion Pit will play their first-ever NYC show at Pianos tonight (August 13, 2008). Bill-favorite Sky Larkin are also playing their own first NYC show on the same bill. If you miss it don't worry - tonight's show is also part of a 3-date Pianos residency that has Passion Pit back in town on August 20th and 27th (and Sky Larkin are also playing again on Thursday).
There's been a lot of buzz around Passion Pit lately based on the strength of their debut EP which is being re-released with two extra tracks on September 16th by Frenchkiss Records.
The re-release of the band's heralded "Chunk of Change" EP on Sept. 16 will cap off quite a year for the soulful Cambridge electro-pop quartet. What began as an Angelakos solo project to impress his girlfriend on Valentine's Day has since morphed into a full band that's generated almost unparalleled local buzz, ultimately winning Best New Act in the recent 'FNX Radio Best Music Poll. Within a few months, Passion Pit went from the underground dance-party circuit to opening for Death Cab For Cutie at the Bank of America Pavilion.You can hear one of the tracks from that EP by downloading the MP3 above. It's one of the songs that was added to the re-release. You can also get an instant download of a remix of the same song by pre-ordering the EP at Insound now. All dates below...And now Passion Pit is about to blow up on a national level with the help of Frenchkiss, home of the Hold Steady, Les Savy Fav and Rahim. [Boston Herald]
