Lollapalooza 2009 Was For The Kids

in
By Mike McCann (CHARTattack) August 14, 2009 3:54 pm
Festivals like last weekend's Lollapalooza are supposed to be irresistible to music fiends. You know, like Yogi Bear can't say no to a picnic basket. I attended the first seven Lollas back when it was a) a traveling carnival and b) more culturally relevant, so I've struggled the last few years between wanting to go to the new "destination...

Passion Pit — Manners

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) May 21, 2009 10:48 am
Passion Pit are pretty much a nerdy hipster's dream. They're one part trendy indie rock, one part dancey faux techno, and another part ridiculously geeky indie electro a la Dan Deacon. Singer Michael Angelakos's falsetto can be both an interesting and frustrating listen, often on the same track. His childlike vocals suit the band's playful...

Passion Pit — "Sleepyhead" (Alternate)

in
By CHARTattack Staff February 2, 2010 3:47 pm
Passion Pit's alternate video for Manners' "Sleepyhead" finds singer Michael Angelakos' head stuck in coloured circles while a bunch of creepy, disembodied painted hands reach towards him and plonk around on keyboards. Um, you probably don't want to watch this while on psychotropic drugs. It'll make you go more nuts than you already are...

Passion Pit Climb Higher

in
By Alyssa Noel (CHARTattack) July 22, 2009 2:58 pm
When Passion Pit keyboardist Ian Hultquist stood backstage at this year's Bonnaroo Festival, he checked out the people standing next to him and was hit by a wave of realization. "Bon Iver, David Byrne and The Dirty Projectors were standing feet from me. I almost had a panic attack," he remembers with laugh. "I went to [the...

Passion Pit — "To Kingdom Come"

in
By CHARTattack Staff July 17, 2009 11:16 am
Passion Pit's amazing clip for "To Kingdom Come" finds four scientists (played by band members) watching comets and the universe in petri dishes, beekers and on their roof. It's a neat combination of a performance clip, animation and hilarity. Manners is in stores now.

Pop Montreal: Day Four

in
By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) October 7, 2008 11:50 am
MONTREAL — Arguably the hottest ticket at this year's Pop Montreal festival was the sold-out Dodos concert at La Sala Rossa. The venue only holds about 220 spectators, yet at the start of the San Francisco duo's set, from a naked eye count it looked like considerably more people had packed themselves into the tiny club. The Dodos are already...
