We Were Carried Away As Passion Pit Dropped By Denver Monday Night

Monday night we dashed over to Colfax and caught indie-electronica band, Passion Pit at the Ogden. After what felt like forever, or just in time to drink a couple beers, the foursome finally waved their way onstage and started us off with crowd favorite, 'Sleepy Head.' Lead singer Michael Angelakos' voice is unequivocally as high pitched as you would expect and his preppy style resembled an even shaggier Jim Halpert on stage.
We had never seen The Ogden that on fire before, figuratively speaking of course. After the initial set was done the boys took off backstage for about 1 minute. During that time the crowd roared and stomped so mighty that the powerful force of the crowd made the floors vibrate. They returned with their most-favored crowd pleaser, 'Carried Away.' If you didn't catch them in Denver this week you may regret it in the near future. Angelakos' announced in July that he's been struggling with his career in the commercialized music industry. In early 2017 in an interview with Pitchfork Angelakos discussed launching the Wishart Group. The organization provides special services to artists such as legal help, education and health care. He may have to break away from his artistry to give his full consideration and attention to Wishart. Cheers to your future no matter what it may be, Mr. Angelakos and thank you for a killer show!
