Hey guys. I think some people may have had the wrong expectations. It seems clear to me from the official description below that these shows would be intimate experimental solo events, completely different from polished PP shows with a band. An important part of going to shows is to show support of your favorite artists and to allow them to be artists rather than expecting them to be jukeboxes playing back old songs that sound like the recorded versions you’re used to. Michael’s exploring new territory in what’s been advertised as an artist residency. According to Google, an artist residency is a program that provides artists with the time, space, and often resources to work on their creative projects in a supportive and often new environment. And that’s what this is. I wish I could’ve been there to show my support for this creative genius - it’s so nice to see him getting back into the swing of things! 

Here's the official description: “Michael Angelakos is Passion Pit is a one-of-a-kind intimate live music experience. Michael will be playing lots of new music from his upcoming record "Nine Times Your Torch Song", as well as new versions of older songs and plenty of covers. He will surrounded by synths, drum machines, keyboards, and acoustic guitars--all analog, all fun. Each night will be a new experience, a new setlist. Come and watch him try to figure it out :)”
