CONCERT REVIEW: PASSION PIT AT FIRST AVENUE (MINNEAPOLIS, MN)
Passion Pit (Cambridge, MA)October 29th, 2012First Avenue in Minneapolis, MN To the unfamiliar, it’s easy to write off Passion Pit as a trendy dance band best left to the barely legal and aging hipsters of the world to admire. However, those who know better recognize the depth, heaviness and sin
