passion from the pits

i saw passion pit a few years ago at emo's and my friend and i were definitely the oldest broads in there. regardless, they rocked it! then i saw them at acl and they were a huge disappointment. i don't think they are cut out for such a big space. for this reason, i was apprehensive to see them at stubb's. but they were fantastic! granted they are not wowing us with any new stuff and i think it's about time (no need to see them again until they release some new music, considering i have now heard it three times). however, they did play this choice track, and i liked it. if you were there, it was probably me and my friends you heard singing!:

temper trapped

was concerned i'd be an oldie in a crowd of x-handed youngins at the temper trap concert. but i think the late start time in combo with curfews on a tuesday helped me out. phew! the aussies put on a great show. initially, i couldn't quite place lead singer dougie's voice. but then i got it, and dare i say, i still like the sound: neville-brother-ish. still a fan of the overplayed one...
