Passion Pit playing Terminal 5 w/ Rural Alberta Advantage who headline Bowery on Wednesday - 2009 Tour Dates

Passion Pit @ Central Park Summerstage (gohingplaces)

"This whole summer - the past three months - have been all festivals," said Passion Pit bassist Jeff Apruzzese. "So I feel like I'm finally getting used to it and now it's over."

So, was this exhausting, rainy weekend worth it?

It was for Passion Pit who said they would "love" to play at ACL again.

"Definitely [we would come back]," said keyboard player and guitarist for Passion Pit Ian Hultquist. "Hopefully when we come back it will be more relaxed and not super intense like it was today." [the battalion]

Passion Pit played the rainy Austin City Limits festival over the weekend. Not long before that, they opened two nights in a row for Phoenix at Central Park Summerstage. They're still a relatively new band, but they've also played multiple nights at Pianos, Glasslands, a Rocks Off Boat, Bowery Ballroom more than once (more than twice even), Music Hall of Williamsburg, and technically even Webster Hall. Next up: a headlining show at Terminal 5 on January 8th. Tickets go on AmEX presale Wednesday at noon, and then general sale Friday at the same time.

Opening the T5 show is a Canadian band who also got their NYC start at Pianos, and who is headlining their own show at Bowery Ballroom this Wednesday night (Oct 7). I'm talking about The Rural Alberta Advantage. Tickets are still on sale. Kittens Ablaze and The Lovely Feathers are the openers.

remember when I was about to see them at pianos last year, they grow up so quickly.

Damn! I can't believe how quickly the RAA are growing. First NYC show (at Pianos) in Jan of 09, playing Terminal 5 in Jan of '10

Saw RAA in philly a couple months ago. Great crowd interaction and an awesome show overall.

Hats off to them for a quick rise, but doesn't that "all falsetto all the time" bug anyone else out there? I find it grating on the nerves after a while.

They were "just ok" opening for Phoenix...

Posted by ryan | October 6, 2009 2:51 PM

I'd say "just ok" is being generous.

i love the PP album but, after seeing them open for PHX and then in ACL last weekend, feel that the music doesn't translate well live. muddy music with vox that don't rise above... they need to sort that out!

I don't get these dudes - Their fifteen minutes are up...

RAA should be headlining over Passion Pit. AMAZING live show and drummer.

terminal 5... really?

i'd say any negative comment by BV readers is a compliment.

all falsetto? thats the style. its not like the beegees go baritone for special songs.

Posted by Anonymous | October 6, 2009 3:22 PM

All falsetto all the time is cool but all falsetto all of key all the time is NOT cool and 3:22 the Bee Gees sang (and wrote) Night Fever/Stayin Alive/How Deep is Your Love/etc etc etc...Passion Pit haven't written a note that will be significant in 3 years let alone 30. Flavor of the month (or year in this case)...

i'd say any positive comment by BV readers is a slight.

fixed, thanks

Ugh, FUCK Terminal 5. I hate that place so much. They bring bands I really would otherwise love to see there, but the venue itself is easily the worst place to watch a band in the Tri-State area. bleh.

Off Key Falsetto 100% of the time + cheap casio sounds + headbobbing at 75 BPMs + Shitty ass off key falsetto that sounds like a dying hyena being castrated = BEST HIPSTER BAND OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!

passion shit is right.

Amex presale started early at 11. Looking foward to the show, even if at Terminal 5... at least there are enough bars.
