Passion Pit is coming to Northern Lights! Monday, April 23, 2012!
Michael Angelakos hears music in his head and knows exactly how he wants it to sound. The young composer/performer has already created two studio masterpieces — Manners and Chunk of Change — and — with his fellow musicians in Passion Pit — is taking his perfectionist pop vision to a whole new level in concert. And they’re coming to Clifton Park’s own NORTHERN LIGHTS!
