Sorry for the alliteration, I had to. TLC friend Goldie introduced me to Passion Pit, a geeky synth heavy band hailing from Boston. We caught the last night of their sold out residency at the Lower East Side's Pianos on Wednesday night with opener Gates of Heaven.
Let me talk a minute about Gates of Heaven first. These guys were either really weird or they had a cocktail of psychadelic mushrooms, LSD, crack and booze...and not in a cool Amy Winehouse kinda way. At a few points during the show a drunken concert goer got onstage and drummed out of tune...and the band played on. It was very strange. Not my cup of tea, but I guess to each their own.
Passion Pit on the other hand did not dissapoint. The 5-piece band played about an hour's worth of foot-tapping tunes off their upcoming Chunk of Change EP. Their sound is far from amazing, but definitely fun, dancey and enjoyable...and actually better live than in the studio (that's a compliment.) The blog buzzing band continues their tour opening for The French Kicks on September 24th at Bowery Ballroom.
