Hot on the heels of the Splendour In The Grass and Spin Off Festival in Adelaide synthpopsters Passion Pit will also be playing their own headline shows for Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth – including under 18s only show at Melbourne’s HiFi Bar.
With two full length albums in the can, Passion Pit have plenty tracks to get you on the dance floor. So don’t miss these shows in July and August.
To celebrate Passion Pit returning to our shores, we asked them to program a mixtape for us, which they did and be prepared for a real mix of genres…
Icona Pop – I Love It
Ultimate summer jam about lovers revenge.
Phoenix – Entertainment
Can’t stop dancing when I hear thing song.
Nashville Cast – Love Like Mine
One of my guilty pleasures, is an american show called nashville. this is off the soundtrack to the show.
Foxygen – San Francisco
I just started listening to this band, but common with most of these songs, it makes me think about summer.
Jimmy Smith – Judo Mambo
Unbelievable jazz organ player. he really goes for it on this tune.
Drake – Started From The Bottom
This is probably the most played song on the tour bus.
Kurt Vile – Walking On a Pretty Day
Love when a band starts their record with a 9 minute jam like this.
Johnny Cash & June Carter – Jackson
Great tune and a great choice for a karaoke duo. Trust me.
Rancid – Maxwell Murder
It’s all about matt freeman’s bass solo on this tune. look up how many amazing you tube bass covers there are of it, its amazing.
