TLC attended the Passion Pit + French Kicks gig at Bowery Ballroom last night. We first caught Passion Pit during their residency at Pianos back in August and the band has since released their debut EP, Chunk of Change and played Bowery (last night) in the opening slot for The French Kicks.
The audience was an interesting mix of Boston frat boys, scenesters and celebrities(?), Allison Kelly from Season 2 of Project Runway (there for Salt and Samovar) and Hamilton Leithauser from the Walkmen. The audience went wild during Sleepyhead and the closing dance anthem complete with lazer gun sound effects.
The crowd packed in even closer for the French Kicks. Touring for the critically-acclaimed album, Swimming, the night took a turn for the mellow once they took the stage. Swimming shows a more melodic sound than their previous garage-roots, but their signature sound is not completely lost. I will be honest, I'm not all too familiar with their latest tunes but they sounded great, looked great and had great stage presence.
