The ten best concerts in Denver this week
1. PASSION PIT @ 1STBANK CENTER | FRI, 3/1/13
Passion Pit began as a solo project of singer/keyboardist Michael Angelakos, but became a duo when he came to the attention of guitarist Ian Hultquist at one of his earliest performances, and the two later recruited the rest of the band from among friends in the Boston area. Since then, the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based act has demonstrated a penchant for writing upbeat, evocative melodies with refreshingly sincere lyrics. The outfit issued Manners, its debut full-length in 2009, and the follow-up, last year's Gossamer, represents and artistic leap forward for the band, which sounds notably comfortable and confident in expressing its sometimes surprisingly emotional honesty. (After the show at 1STBANK Center, members are slated to DJ at an official after party at the Larimer Lounge.)
