Passion Pit - Live Melbourne Big Day Out (2009)

Passion Pit - Live Melbourne Big Day Out (2009)

I am kind of pissed that I didn't take the opportunity to see Passion Pit at The Blank Club in San Jose last year. It would have been while the young band was just getting ready to blow-up and become the monolith that plays festivals like the Coachella 2010 and appears on Late Night with @jimmyfallon. These guys have a truly unique energy and enthusiasm that bubbles forth in their music. The candyland electronic sounds coupled with the music-box like innocence, just makes the pulse pound. A very lively group and a fine concert to take in for sure. That is why I am so pissed. The good news is that Passion Pit is coming back to San Francisco at the Warfield April 15th. I guess I get my second chance. Hopefully, I can take in this bootleg before then, so I am amped out and critically prepared for the major dance off and sing along. As you may know, Passion Pit was originally formed as a solo project in late 2007 by Michael Angelakos in his Emerson dorm room. The songs, which would later become the Chunk of Change EP, were written as a Valentine's Day gift to his then girlfriend. The band has since released a monster album Manners, which seems to be an indie staple and fodder for almost any commerical you can think of. I guess you could say they are the indie media darling of 2008. They're stretching it out into 2010 with this new tour and with the TV work (a la Moby), so perhaps I can quench my Passion Pit thirst with the below bootleg. This live show from the Melbourne Big Day Out Festival in 2009, featured a massive crowd completely full of energy. Theband in response to the free love, brought their best concert of the year. With 2 new songs and a Cranberries cover, this show is a great find for any new indie enthusiast. Bring it down into the pit!
