2009 marked a monumential year for Passion Pit. What first began as a Valentine s Day gift in 2007, Michael Angelakos has grown his band out of a dorm room to major venues throughout the country. Passion Pit quickly rose to the top of the blog-o-sphere and are now entering the mainstream. In just two years, Passion Pit created a fan base that demanded not one, not two, but three sold out shows at New York s Terminal 5 to the tune of 9,000 tickets sold. But it s just not in New York. It s everywhere. With a massive upcoming tour in Spring, including top-billing at Coachella and second single Little Secrets , Passion Pit is poised ot break. Manners , their debut full length, will be rereleased with bonus content April 13th on Columbia Records.

Boston's Passion Pit is the brainchild of Michael Angelakos. A songwriter's songwriter drawing from a variety of influences, from the classic pop of Randy Newman to the synth work of Giorgio Moroder.

The Chunk of Change EP was originally put together as a (belated) Valentine's Day present to Angelakos girlfriend which then prompted him to give it out to friends and fellow students at Emerson College. Angelakos wrote and recorded the entire record by himself and it only hints at what is to come from this extremely talented perfectionist. The production of the recording - brief, sporadic, and explosive - worked towards the development of Angelakos signature euphoric and blissfully melancholic sound. Frenchkiss Records will reissue the ep this fall with the addition of two bonus tracks Better Things and Sleepyhead that are already catching the online world on fire. All of this is in preparation for Passion Pit s debut full length coming out in early 2009.

Playing as a five piece live, Passion Pit has already blown away audiences opening up for Death Cab For Cutie, Girl Talk, These New Puritans and more. Also winning the WFNX/Boston Phoenix Best Music Poll as the Best New Local Act of 2008, Passion Pit hopes to bring their soulful dance explosion to your town this fall.
