Unfortunately Passion Pit has to cancel their show at Venue on December 8th because of a scheduling conflict. The band is scheduled to appear on Late Night Television in Los Angeles on the same day and is unfortunately double booked. The band, their management, and Sealed with a Kiss want to apologize to all of the ticket holders and fans for going out of their way to support the band. We will do our best to reschedule a show in Vancouver soon

PASSION PIT
Saturday, October 10th, 2009 DOORS AT 7PM * PLEASE NOTE-THIS IS AN EARLY SHOW* *THIS IS A SOLD OUT SHOW*
:: ABOUT THE ARTISTS :: Passion Pit. Passion Pit Redemption. Paranoia. Guilt. And brief glimpses of a better tomorrow, all cloaked in pop hooks that truly help the medicine go down. What is this? Another lost LP from Brian Wilson’s sandbox phase? If only things were that simple. What we’re really alluding to here is Passion Pit’s first proper full-length, Manners, a bird-flipping break from the blogosphere by a 21 year old with much more on his manic mind than girls, girls, girls. You know, important matters, like the end of the world and learning to love someone other than the man in the mirror. That’s the thing people missed about Passion Pit’s debut EP, Chunk of Change. While it was originally meant as a Valentine’s Day gift for a girlfriend who “put up with” frontman Michael Angelakos, that detail’s only half of a story that isn’t so cuddly when you consider the circumstances.
Check the carefully-sculpted songwriting on display: the speaker-panning synths and slightly sinister children’s chorus (straight outta P.S. 22 in NYC) of “Little Secrets” and “The Reeling,” the lead dulcimer loops and melancholic melodies of “Moth’s Wings,” the ecstatic, riled-up climax of “Folds in Your Hands.” All part of a greater plan, the next step of which is taking Passion Pit’s live show to a level that matches, and eventually exceeds, Manners ambition and kaleidoscopic soundscapes. Because when Angelakos says he wants to be the next Randy Newman, he’s dead serious. And when he adds that Passion Pit is a band with a lead songwriter, not just Michael Angelakos and these guys, it’s clear he’s just getting started.
