Boston electro-pop upstarts Passion Pit have a busy few weeks ahead of them. Fresh off the release of their Frenchkiss debut Chunk of Change, the band will be performing a whopping five times during the CMJ Music Marathon in NYC next week. Kicking things off with an appearance at the Brooklyn Vegan showcase at Music Hall of Williamsburg on October 21st, the band will then take the stage at Club NME at the Annex and the Fader Lounge on October 23rd, before performing at the Planetary showcase at Pianos on the 24th and toasting their busy schedule with a final performance at The Yard in Brooklyn on the 25th for After The Jump’s wrap-up BBQ. Full list of dates below.
In other news, the band premiered the video for lead single “Sleepyhead” http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/download/146505-pitchforktv-passion-pit-sleepyhead-video-premiere on Pitchfork yesterday. As the write-up so accurately put it, “this beautiful video, directed by The Wilderness http://www.thewildernessinc.com , matches the song's collage-like construction, taking individual elements —a singer, handclaps, keyboards — and fusing them to rotating mechanical parts. With its absence of computer tricks — those are actual printed photos of Michael Angelakos' face on that cube — the video captures the song's rough, handmade charm.” What’s more, the band recently swung through AOL Spinner’s NYC studios with a performance of Chunk of Change standouts for Spinner’s Interface http://www.spinner.com/2008/10/10/passion-pit-tell-their-tale-at-the-interface/ . Check out the new clip for “Sleepyhead” and the AOL performances below.
