Passion Pit, the indie rock band from Cambridge, Mass., will be playing at Hilton Coliseum on Thursday as part of their tour. With two albums and a number of popular songs, fans will be experiencing a show to remember.

“Every tour that we go on we have a new production,” said bassist Jeff Apruzzese. “Everything is always down to the wire with us.”

Even though the band considers themselves a pop band, members of Passion Pit said their shows exhibits a different style of music.

“We always think of the band as down to earth pop songs but we play in a rock and roll live setting,” Apruzzese said.

Starting in 2007, the first Passion Pit songs were given as a gift to then girlfriend of band member Michael Angelakos. Those songs would become the band’s first EP, “Chunk of Change,” on Frenchkiss and Columbia records, which spawned the recording of single ‘Sleepyhead’ a year later.

The band first gained popularity at Emerson College, which Angelakos attended.

Passion Pit’s first full length “Manners” was released in 2009 to positive reviews and even had exposure on television with their song “Let Your Love Grow Tall,” which played on an episode of “Ugly Betty.”

“Manners” spawned four singles in total, and got the band slots playing for the Glastonbury Festival 2009 in England, as well as touring with Muse as their opener through 2010.

After writing since late 2010, their second full length “Gossamer” was released in July of 2012. The album spawned four more singles, as well as a spot on Saturday Night Live performing the songs “Take a Walk” and “Carried Away.”

“It was really special and amazing. The first time, as live as it gets. Even now it’s the only show that was live,” Apruzzese said.

Passion Pit also had a song featured on the “Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2″ soundtrack with their song “Where I Come From.”

“We are getting a lot of new fans from that. From that song being released we are actually playing at Comicon to play that song,” Apruzzese said.  “You never know if people heard of the band and what records they know. We just need to be engaging to everything.”

Passion Pit is now going on tour for the spring and summer playing across America and internationally. Tickets can still be bought for the Hilton Coliseum show from www.sub.iastate.edu.
