Lawn on D hosts renowned band Passion Pit

By Sami Abou-Mayaleh

 

Energy and excitement radiated from the audience at Lawn on D on Wednesday as fans awaited the Boston-based band, Passion Pit, while on tour for their junior album, “Kindred.”

Michael Angelakos at Emerson College formed the band, whose second album debuted as 4th on the Billboard 200 in 2012.

Audience members, ranging from young professionals to college students rocking Doc Martens, ran toward the barrier to get a full and upfront view of the stage.

Opening act Robert DeLong set the tone for the night with a palpable sense of enthusiasm and charge.

Kicking off the show with one of his latest tracks, the crescendo-like electronic music livened up the energy in the audience. DeLong ended his set with two of his biggest songs, “Global Concepts,” and “Long Way Down.”

As the night progressed, energy built in the crowd as they anxiously awaited the American indietronica band from Cambridge, Mass.

“How are you, Boston?” shouted Angelakos, who put together the band’s first album as a Valentine’s Day gift to his girlfriend.

Immediately, the crowd danced and jumped to the lyrically broody but musically buoyant songs by Angelakos.

As red, orange, and yellow lights flashed and flickered across the stage during the more upbeat songs, the audience jammed out as the sun set behind them.

For the encore, Passion Pit saved the best for last with their song, “Sleepyhead,” a popular single on their 2009 sophomore album, “Manners. ”

Overall, Passion Pit put on a stunning show with a phenomenal stage that kept everyone going strong all night, and sent a message of optimism and energetic love to the band’s hometown and Bostonians all over.
