Passion Pit to play the Mann Center in June w/ Tokyo Police Club
Passion Pit
It’s really quite amazing how fast the internet/blogosphere turned a few college friends itno rockstars. Passion Pit surfaced a little over a year ago and have steadily become more and more popular since then. It all started with an EP by lead-man Michael Angelakos, who wrote a few songs for his then-girlfriend. It ended getting picked up Frenchkiss Records, who went on to release their debut album, Manners. After a few months the record was picked up and co-released by Columbia Records , a major label.
Last summer they played a sold out show at the First Unitarian Church; this summer they will play a show at the Mann Center for Performing Arts(which holds around 7,200 people). That’s an enormous step(the basement of the Church holds around 500 people). If Passion Pit do sell-out the show, cheers to them.
Tokyo Police Club, who are resurfacing after taking 2009 off, will open the show. Their new record Champ is set to be release on May 11th. There’s really no better opener for the show.
They’ll play on Sunday, June 27th. Tickets go on sale this Friday(03/26) and they’ll be found HERE.
