Passion Pit at Celebrate Brooklyn! (06/29/10)

On Tuesday night, Boston’s Passion Pit played their biggest New York show to date, a sold out benefit before an enthusiastic crowd at the bandshell at Prospect Park. The next Celebrate Brooklyn! event is a free show featuring The Fab 5 and Uzalu on Friday, July 2. Here’s a little technical assessment of the show from Citizen Journalist Zara Golden:
With only an EP (Chunk of Change), one full length (Manners) and a handful of remixes and covers (notably, and recently, of Katy Perry’s “California Gurls” and a cover of Smashing Pumpkins’ “Tonight, Tonight”), Passion Pit easily made it through most of their discography. They opened with a bleepy and almost sleepy-dance hit, “I’ve Got Your Number,” giving the crowd a chance to adjust their ears to the effervescence of Passion Pit’s syths and snares and their eyes to the bright, rainbow lights that backed them.
…
Their biggest, and also most dance-floor-ready hit, “Little Secrets,” rounded out the long set, but few filtered out as the rainbow bright-lights shut off. They returned to stage for three more songs, including their popular cover of “Dreams” by The Cranberries and their break out hit, “Sleepyhead.” [Huffington Post]
