#PASSION ONE DAY LIVE ALBUM ARTWORK ITUNES SERIES#
" Cuddle Fuddle" was featured in E4's second series of The Inbetweeners and " I've Got Your Number" was used in an advertisement for the cash card from O2, Money in the UK.
Other songs from the EP received some exposure as well. The song contains samples of "Óró Mo Bháidín" by Irish singer and harpist Mary O'Hara. The first and only single to be released from the EP, " Sleepyhead", received a good deal of exposure through its use in numerous media campaigns and advertisements, while the video for the song, directed by The Wilderness, was included on Pitchfork's Top 40 Music Videos of 2008 list. The same year of their debut EP's release, the band was chosen as "Best New Local Act in 2008" in the WFNX/Boston Phoenix best music poll. Two tracks, " Better Things" and " Sleepyhead", were added for the commercial release of the EP. The first four tracks were those that Angelakos had written as a gift for his girlfriend, which had already become popular throughout Emerson where he had been passing out his own, self-produced copies. The band's debut EP, " Chunk of Change", was released on September 16, 2008. In 2012, Adhamy was replaced by Xander Singh. Jeff Apruzzese and Nate Donmoyer joined the band shortly after they signed to Frenchkiss in 2008, replacing Plasse and Lavinsky, respectively. The band spent a considerable amount of time trying to flesh out a collaborative format and structure that would work best for them. They formed a group that consisted of Angelakos, Hultquist, Ayad Al Adhamy, Thom Plasse (bass), and Adam Lavinsky (drums). After a few line-up changes, Passion Pit was born. After one of these solo shows in the Boston area, Ian Hultquist, who was attending Berklee at the time, approached Angelakos and expressed interest in creating and playing music collaboratively. Michael played his first shows alone sitting with his laptop and a microphone. These sets of songs were passed around Emerson and caught the attention of many blogs.
At first, he wrote and performed all his material alone using a laptop. The first Passion Pit songs, which would later become the Chunk of Change EP, were written by Angelakos at Emerson College as a belated Valentine's Day gift to his then-girlfriend. The magazine used the term to refer to drive-in theatres, because of their privacy and romantic allure for teenagers. The band called their name from the Variety Slanguage Dictionary, a glossary of Variety's frequently-used slang, which was provided by the Hollywood Insider publication to help not-so-savvy readers decipher its content. "Passion Pit" was a vocabulary word used in a class Michael took in school. The band consists solely of Michael Angelakos (lead vocals, keyboards), joined live by Chris Hartz (drums), Aaron Harrison Folb (bass/synthesizers), Giuliano Pizzulo (guitar/synthesizers), and Ray Suen (guitar/synthesizers). Passion Pit is an American indietronica band from Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States, formed in 2007.
