Passion Pit is straight from glam-synth heaven. They’ve come a long way from the infamous Valentine’s Day mixtape to the release of their first full-length Manners , and they continue to sell out shows all over the world with their undeniably unique sound. Despite their busy schedule, drummer Nate Donmoyer was kind enough to spare a few minutes. This interview by Keldine Hull.

Continuing or ACL coverage today, we are excited to bring you an interview with buzz worthy band Passion Pit. These guys have been getting a whole bunch of praise heaped on them from numerous sources and we tend to think they deserve that praise. We recently spoke with Jeff Apruzzese from the band who discusses the hype and buzz surrounding his band. Of course that's not all we talk about, but you'll just have to read more to see it all. ATH: This seems like it has [...]
What's more exciting than the release of a hotly anticipated second album? More hype producing than a leaked track from one of the biggest names? And even better than discovering the next big thing in your local bar? Well. It's when two of your very ' bestest ' musicians collide together, especially when it's totally unexpected. Gotye + Passion Pit= learnalilgivenanlovin amazingness Most Australian's know and love [...]
As the summertime folds in we get a couple of sublime indie acts visiting Brighton through September. Both are guaranteed to shine, with their excellent live shows and dedicated teen followers. As a footnote to our attendance to said gigs, can you please read our question at the bottom of this post... PASSION PIT This Massachusetts five-piece are well known to The Recommender having played our town before. Widely recognised as a pioneering band of the College indie sound that's flowed out [...]
You might have noticed that I have personally been posting a lot of non-Hip-Hop choices as of late. Basically, what it comes down to is that I don't give a shit about most of these materialistic egomaniac rappers anymore and I just want something to vibe to. Nothing personal, you know, but a lot of 'em just suck. Which brings me to the dankness. As a favor to those feeling my sentiment (II), here is a little piece of heaven from Massachusetts electronic-pop band, Passion [...]
So Passion Pit has been nominated for a VMA for their video for The Reeling. Does this mean they are "mainstream" now? If so, how long have they been? Should I wish the best for the band and hope that they actually win a VMA, or secretly hope they are snubbed so as to retain a tiny shred of indie credibility? Ya, sure the video is one of the cooler ones we've seen in a bit but is it worth losing a buzz band over? I guess what I'm really asking is how much [...]
Passion Pit - Little secrets Well this will definitely be my easiest post of the day seeing as I have been listening to Passion Pit heavily the past several weeks. "Little Secrets" is one of those songs that has been my jam (just like "I'm the Ish") recently and "To Kingdom Come" is the song that [...]
Los chicos de Passion Pit recien estuvieron grabando algunas canciones en vivo para el show de MySpace titulado Transmissions , e incluso se puede ver un corte de video de la grabación de la banda y escuchar las canciones que se grabaron en el MySpace de Transmissions. Los chicos de Passion Pit dejaron constancia de esta presentación en un EP grabado especialmente para MySpace el cual se puede descargar de manera gratuita y consta de las siguientes 4 canciones: Sleepyhead, Moth’s [...]
Sure MySpace is pretty much a ghost town these days with it's antiquated layout and lack of workable features, but it's still pretty much the go-to place to find quick tour info and preview mp3's of musicians. And MySpace seems to know that musicians are their bread and butter as well, hosting "secret" shows all the time which are only announced on band's MySpace pages and releasing compilation albums among other ventures. They're latest undertaking, the "Transmissions" project, seems to actually be a pretty good idea. In the latest edition fans can watch [...]
The mission: great music. The contenders: Passion Pit. Even though they've only been together since 2007, Passion Pit have already done what it takes some groups much longer to do. They've released an EP and an album and garnered the attention of fans and critics all over the world. It's an interesting turn of events when you take into consideration that the band's first EP started out as a Valentine's gift from Michael Angelakos (lead singer/keys) to his girlfriend. Those initial songs floated around his college campus, and were eventually officially released as the Chunk of Change EP [...]

Good news for all new Passion Pit fans: the high-jinks electro-rockers have added an extra date at Koko in October. That's on Wednesday 28 October; the existing date, on Tuesday 27, has long sold out. Koko's an excellent arbiter for the success of Michael Angelakos and co. Late last year they played the Mornington Crescent venue as second [...]
This is the second video off Passion Pit's Manners. This time, we're giving them bonus points for having a sense of humor: watch the video and you'll get it. Manners is out now... [[This is an excerpt. The pages look just silly here, you know? Why not just hit up the article, homes? We'd appreciate that!]]
Creo que sin duda la banda más cool que existe en estos momentos es Passion Pit y me encanta que hayan lanzado el segundo video para promocionar su disco Manners , se trata de la canción "To Kingdom Come", para la cual se realizo un video sencillo que muestra a la banda tocando dentro de lo que parece ser un cuento de fantasía en donde se involucra la ciencia y el espacio. Creo que la banda viene definiendo muy bien lo que desea lograr con Manners [...]
Late last week Passion Pit released the video for their next single, To Kingdom Come, out on 24 August. It sees the five dress up as nerdy veteran scientists who set the cartoon world outside on fire. As for the song itself, well, expect yet another slice of electro-pop perfection, with those same soaring high notes and thrilling choruses. This one's a bit faster than The Reeling, and just as infectious. No [...]
Science laboratories, facial hair and awesome period-piece costuming. The new video from Massachusetts's next great white hope, Passion Pit, and their song "To Kingdom Come" has all sorts of graphic bells and whistles, cartoonish renderings of mitosis, The Big Bang,...
Whew, it's summer and here in LA the June gloom has finally faded. Here's the soundtrack to my crazy ass season: 20. Metric - Monster Hospital (MSTRKRFT Remix) The only thing sexier than Emily Haines singing "hold my arms down, I've been bad" is her singing it in front of a danceable beat. 19. Casxio - Boiling Point Another one of my local favorites, Casxio [...]
