Last night Passion Pit celebrated their debut LP release by cruising New York Harbor on the Rocks Off boat cruise. Rest assured the event was thoroughly Tweeted. Fans boarded the Temptress yacht at 8PM for the three hour tour during which Cambridge's buzzy synth-pop revivalists entertained with Manners. According to our photographer Natasha Ryan, folks were dancing like crazy, which was probably not easy in this venue, but it wouldn't have been much of a party otherwise. Yesterday was also frontman's Michael Angelakos' 22nd birthday, so that's explains the cake all over his face towards the end of the photo set. No word if he managed to fuck a mermaid.
Passion Pit - "Sleepyhead" (MP3)
Passion Pit - "The Reeling (Calvin Harris Remix)" (MP3)
Manners is out today via Frenchkiss, and just for the day it's on sale for $2.99 at Amazon. PP just announced another leg of the tour, so if you live across the pond and love falsetto, check out these dates...
