Long (almost) Summer Nights Turn Into Lazy Summer Days...

Despite the June Gloom, summer is on the way! You can always tell when it's that time of year: graduations abound, the smell of barbecue on your afternoon bike ride, chlorine scents lingering in your hair into the night, and staying up till sunlight cracks open the sky with just a bit of hazy grey that sobers you up just enough for you to stop and realize that you've had a great night and should probably drink some water before you take your morning nap and start your lazy day.

So in honour of late-Spring-early-Summer, the demi-season where we limbo between no class/vacations/visiting family/getting back to work, and also so you won't forget that summer is indeed coming, here's a playlist for those long chill nights that lead into long, lovely lazy days...

In A Pit of Passion!

Sunday, May 31, 2009

I've always assumed that there was some amount of studio editing happening on Michael Angelakos's super-tenor vocals from the oh so danceable Passion Pit. But after seeing their show at the Glasshouse in Pomona last night, let me tell you, these kids are all talent. After hitting LA, playing at the Troubadour and the Echoplex the two nights before, Passion Pit got Pomona moving after Cale Parks and Harlem Shakes warmed up the crowd.

They played everything we wanted to hear, "Sleepyhead" to "The Reeling" in their encore, both songs from their debut full length Manners. I don't think I've danced that hard at a show in a long long time, or seen people dancing so much either! And we're talking dancing at a show in Orange County, where everyone likes to stand still so their fedoras and Wayfarers don't fall off! If you have a chance to catch this band while they are on this tour, it's definitely worth the dough.

Check out their video for "The Reeling"!
