Passion Pit
Massachusetts electro-poppers Passion Pit have gone from strength to strength this year with stand out performances at Oxegen and Electric Picnic and a Q nomination for Best New Act. Frontman Michael Angelakos has written songs since he was a piano-pounding 5 year old, from spooky and spare folk tunes to pit-stirring ska punk. But one day, he just stopped. Not by choice. Angelakos' creative well was simply in need of a severe refill, so he started toying with the plug-ins and infinite possibilities of a computer program. Six tracks later, Chunk of Change was born by default. In need of an impromptu thank you card and some feedback from friends, Angelakos started spreading the songs around quite casually, really. Which is impossible to do in an era when blogs are as obsessed with breaking the Next Big Thing as labels are. Now Passion Pit have released their first proper full-length album, Manners, a bird-flipping break from the blogosphere by a 21 year old with much more on his manic mind than girls, girls, girls. You know, important matters, like the end of the world and learning to love someone other than the man in the mirror.Following their sold out show at the Academy, Passion Pit will return to Dublin to play in the intimate surrounds of the Olympia on Saturday March 13th.
