Bostonist Music Preview: Passion Pit

Passion Pit
CD Release Party for Chunk of Change
Great Scott (1222 Comm Ave, Allston)
w/ Big Digits, Benefit Friends, DJ Michael Savant
9pm, $8

Dance the night away at Great Scott with Passion Pit, an alternately bearded and/or glasses-ed (no, really) collection of Berklee and Emerson type dudes yelping away like little Panda Bears. The band's fans lend new meaning to the word "fanatic," and we even find our stodgy old selves (we were born before 1990, for Chrissake) wanting to groove a little to these manic, shiny beats. It's kind of like Cut Copy asexually reproduced and named the baby after a porno and it grew up to wear tight pants and dance. Or so we think. Get in the dance "pit" at Great Scott tonight, then walk around and drink some more [PBR] as good hipster kids do.
