Passion Pit - Sleepyhead (Live on KEXP)

Passion Pit performs "Sleepyhead" live on the Afternoon Show with Kevin Cole. Recorded 10/28/08.

Just to clarify, we don't use monitors in-studio so you'll almost always see band members with headphones in our videos. If you were standing in the room without them, all you'd hear are the clicking of the keyboards.

i think the drummer messing up in this live performances makes it 100 times more memorable

[Supanizar]

I like the "real" feel of this song (mess up and all). This is a great song!

[linkvilleda]

I love this in all of its awkwardness, it's pure uncut Passion Pit awesomeness

[Keithider]

ohhhh shit, the look they gave the drummer in the beginning 

[pattilikestodraw]

Why is everyone bashing the drummer? The part where they all glance at him, even though we hear the bass is totally out of rhythm, but then it starts slowly coming into rhythm is, in my opinion, one of the purest, rawest moments I've ever seen in live music history because of how vulnerable playing live actually is. I haven't seen a lot, but this was an awesome performance. Best leave it at that.

"And everything is going to the beat"
Well maybe not everything

[PrettyFlyABakedPie]

This is the cutest, but funniest performance I've ever seen.

[LouisTheBassman]

This is a really cool performance, the fact that they kinda start off rhythm adds character if you ask me. as a musician myself i hate it when i screw up, so it is inspiring to me to see a group i like make mistakes and "just roll with it" as my dad always taught me to do growing up. so kudos to you Passion Pit.

Michael's face truly kills me "wtf are you doing ?"

[jdk]

I don't care if they messed up or not. This is gold!

[stewartplays]

I've watched this once a year since 2009 and it has never gotten old.

[Hitcharooskii]

This is exactly how the band wants to be portrayed... This is perfection in their eyes, as well as mine.

[krazykatchica]

I just heard this song for the first time and MY GOD. I absolutely love it. I wish music was still like this!!!

[pumpkin]

This is absolutely the best vocal performance of Passion Pit, the mess in the beginning made it even better

[Ryebready]

I think the glitch at the beginning makes this performance even better because it shows even amazing bands aren't perfect every time, gives this performance character.

[michiferrucci]

i can see panic in drummer's eyes ahahaha

[bellebirdy]

I love the look on Michael's face in the beginning when he's trying to get into it and then just sits there for 5 seconds not knowing what was happening

[lightbluesleeper]

honestly there’s something so magical about this version of the song, even despite the mess up at the start, makes the song even more special

[PhantomWarlock]

its cool seeing a band not totally perfect because it shows how real they are and dont just press play and sing along
its very tempting especially to an electronic band like them
