Lounge Act Recap – Passion Pit
Passion Pit’s “Chunk Of Change” EP began in the heart & mind of Michael Angelakos as a love letter to his girlfriend at the time. A belated Valentine’s Day gift, he never anticipated that anybody would ever really hear it except for a small circle of friends.
Flash forward to 2008 when “Sleepyhead” catapulted his musical endeavors into the welcoming arms of the frequently fickle blogosphere. By this point, Passion Pit was fleshed out into a full band and the EP was given a proper release in September.
Almost done with recording of a full-length album, the guys dropped in to our studios during a brief winter tour to play a set of tunes and catch us up on their whirlwind journey.

Aww, well isn’t that sweet of Angelakos to do that for his girl (at the time), I’m also loving the 2:3 beards to black plastic frames ratio.
Passion Pit is also going to be on the new Josh Schwartz/ Alex Patasavas project Rockville, CA (http://www.thewb.com/shows/rockville-ca/), so you can expect bigger things from them, if not appearing all over House, Gossip Girl and whatever other shows Patsavas is doing now.
