Passion Pit are a relatively new band, but fast becoming well known for their catchy songs, which have been well-played over the Radio, on TV and for Adverts/Commercials.
I was asked to come up with a Lighting Design that gave impact, and to enhance their live show visually. The lighting has been well complimented by the band, management and record label.
For the London Show at Koko, I was lucky to have some budget for a floor package.
Koko's house rig consists of a box truss with:
04 x Robe Wash 575's
08 x Robe Spot 575's
and loads of Parcans
I added, as an extras package:
02 x 2M Truss Circle
02 x 2.5M Truss Circle
08 x Coemar Spot 250's
04 x Martin Mac 250 Kryptons
12 x 2-Lite Molefay
03 x 4-Lite Molefay (with Scrollers)
04 x LED Parcans
24 x Par 36 ACL's
All of this was ran from my own personal Road Hog, and pre-programmed in my newly purchased ESP Vision system.
I started working for Passion Pit over the summer of 2009. Passion Pit comes really from the work I did at Glastonbury, I literally made a call to see if a truck had delivered equipment back to a rental company - and was asked by chance if I was doing anything that evening, and if I could LD Passion Pit's show at Heavan.
I was highly complimented by the band, and Record Company Columbia, lead singer Michael Angelakos saw me after the show describing the lighting "stunning and amazing".
Following on from the summer, I continued to provide Lighting Design Services for Passion Pit during their October dates, and was once again complimented by the band and their management.
