The term “buzz band” is entirely interchangeable these days with another term: “blog buzz band.”
Electronica pop band Passion Pit is definitely both those things: Winning a coveted positive review from ultimate hipster music manual Pitchfork and yeah, of course the next logical step: Winning the favor of hipsters everywhere.
But really? People just want to have a good time. And the music of Passion Pit is definitely about having a good time. Riddled with synthesizers, falsetto vocals coming from singer Michael Angelakos, children’s choir and even a chipmunk-voiced chorus (really), Passion Pit’s tracks are hooky as hell and always, always have a beat to dance to.
Passion Pit: Sat., Dec. 12, 8 p.m., $25. Fox Theater Pomona, 301 S. Garey Ave., Pomona, 877.283.6976. All ages.
