Passion Pit
'Take a Walk' to what may be the best gig this year.
Overview
Passion Pit are returning to Australia. Those six words should instil excitement in all who have seen the band perform previously, likely on their previous Splendour in the Grass tour back in 2010 where their performance lit up the Woodford Amphitheatre and various venues across the country.
For those who have not yet experienced Passion Pit live, this is your chance to understand why those of us who have are so excited. Their explosive pop is transmitted from band to audience from the moment the opening chord is struck, sending your body into dancing raptures that will only abate once the band has left the stage — and even then it will probably take a few hours.
Since their spectacular 2010 visit, the band has grown into one of the premier pop groups on the planet, last year claiming third spot on Rolling Stone's best songs of 2012 with 'Take a Walk', the hit single from their sophomore release, Gossamer. They have also recently played New York City's Governors Ball, Coachella and a sold-out Madison Square Garden and they are now ready to bring their buzzing brilliance all the way to the Palace for one night only.
