Passion Pit In NZ

Just announced on bFM, Passion Pit will be playing Auckland's Monte Cristo Room on July 30th.

We'll update this when we hear more...

UPDATE: Here's the official press release:

Passion Pit Announce Splendour Sideshow!

Boston’s Passion Pit are back after a riotous start to the year as part of the Big Day Out line-up. What began as a Valentine’s Day gift for a girlfriend has now become a gift to the masses with this boiling pot of giddy, electronic, indie pop causing a stir at every live show. With hooks that nip at your heels and choruses that burrow into your brain, the big beat soul popsters will return to NZ, led by singer/songwriter Michael Angelakos’ funk-fuelled falsetto, for this year’s Splendour In The Grass Festival in Australia. Chaotic, oddball and impossible not to dance to, the 5-piece will also play one NZ sideshow in Auckland this July. There’s no doubt their magnificent mish-mash of kaleidoscopic soundscapes and cascading dance beats will make it feel like summer all over again. If crowds at this years Big Day Out festival were anything to go by, this show will sell out fast!
