Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States (2007 – present)
Passion Pit is an electronic band that began in Buffalo, NY then officially formed in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States in 2007. They consist of Michael Angelakos (vocals, keyboards), Ian Hultquist (keyboards, guitar), Ayad Al Adhamy (synth, samples), Jeff Apruzzese (bass, keyboard) and Nate Donmoyer (drums). Passion Pit was a vocab word used in a class Mike took in school. It’s a slang word for a drive-in movie theatre where kids used to go to make out.
Michael played his first show alone sitting with his laptop and a microphone. Later, Ian approached Mike and asked him if he wanted to start a band. After a few line-up changes, Passion Pit was born.
The band’s debut Chunk Of Change EP originally had four songs and was recorded by Angelakos on his laptop. It was intended as a belated Valentine’s Day gift to his girlfriend. This set of songs was passed around Emerson College, where Angelakos was attending and caught the attention of many blogs. It was then released on September 16th, 2008 on Frenchkiss Records with two extra songs. The band’s debut album, entitled Manners, was released on May 19, 2009.
The song Sleepyhead contains samples of the song “Oro Mo Bhaidin” by Irish harpist Mary O’Hara. This song has been used in a US advertisment for the Palm Pixi, Canadian PSP advertisement, MTVs ‘What the Flip?’ campaign and the television shows, Skins and Gossip Girl.

Ben is a indie god he is much more talented than thom yorke who is massively overrated. Dumbest thing i've ever heard. Ben Gibbard is not an indie god so get over it.

"ps how can you criticize ben gibbard when your top 4 artist is brand new, jessy lacey is also one of the most overrated songwriters who got lucky with play crack the sky, the rest of his lyrics are cry baby rubbish." First, I'm not criticizing Ben Gibbard, dipshit. I'm just saying he's not the indie god everyone paints him out to be. Second, Brand New is my top artist, not #4. Third, you have "Jesus Christ" favorited so I know you're just talking out your ass. Finally, I don't see how the fact that Brand New is my top band has anything at all to do with whether I can or cannot criticize Ben Gibbard, if I wanted to.
