THE INNER-VIEWS OF MUSIC: Passion Pit

We sat down with Jeff, Ayad, and Ian of Passion Pit to rattle off a few questions before their set, and found out everything you really wanted to know:
Fashion Indie: So rumor has it you guys are sponsored by Marc Jacobs?
Passion Pit (looking shocked): No, we’d like to be sponsored by some dorky stuff (Ayad).
Manager- Marc Jacobs may be sending them some free stuff.
Ian- Usually what happens is that we endorse something, and then we get free stuff, like instruments.
Fashion Indie: Who is the most fashion-conscious member of your band?
PP: (Disagreement) Ian thinks he’s the most fashionable but Jeff and Ayad agree that it’s Mike. Mike took a fashion class, which is where the name Passion Pit originated from. Fashion Indie agrees that it is most likely Mike.
FI: Cobra Starship did a collaboration with Leighton Meester (who we actually had to explain to the guys that she was from Gossip Girl, they had no idea who she was). If you could do a collaboration with a celebrity, who would it be?
PP: Beyonce.
Jeff- No Solange.
Manager- …you probably could do that.
Ayad- We should stick with the original.
Jeff- Yeah, we might as well reach for the sky.
FI: Have you guys seen the movie Bruno? (No, not yet). If he were to style your next photo shoot, would it be the full velcro suit? Or the kilt with angel wings from the MTV VMAs?
PP: Neither, the banana hammock
FI: If you were to do a collaboration product or line with Diesel, what would it be?
PP (after some muttering, something about not liking the pricing too much, I think):
Ayad- I’d do more stuff for broad shouldered, shorter guys. (Clearly making reference to his stature).
FI: Alright, last question; who had better style as a TV father figure, Mike Brady or Bill Cosby?
PP (In up-roaring agreement): Bill Cosby, he had a bad ass sweater collection.

Passion Pit put on a killer performance. Corey is uploading videos to the Fashion Indie Youtube channel as I type! Check out more photos from their performance on Cult
Iconic Bill Cosby Sweaters For Auction

Not everyone can be Dr. Cliff Huxtable, the quick-with-a-quip dad that Bill Cosby played on TV for eight years. But for the right price, you could dress just like him this Father’s Day.
Cosby’s daughter, Evin, said her mother and father were cleaning out a closet recently when they came across a batch of the sweaters her dad wore when he played Huxtable on NBC’s The Cosby Show from 1984 to 1992.
“I pounced on these sweaters,” she said Thursday, adding she figured they could help a charity named for her brother, Ennis, raise a substantial amount of money.
Now three of them are going up for sale on eBay, with the proceeds earmarked for the Hello Friend/Ennis William Cosby Foundation.
The nonprofit organization, which raises money to benefit educational programs, is named in honor of Cosby’s only son, who was about to begin his doctoral studies when he was murdered in Los Angeles in 1997.
The auction is scheduled for June 2-12, with minimum bids set at $5,000.
“The price of what some of these sweaters might sell for could make a big difference in the lives of thousands of children,” said Evin Cosby.

Unfortunately, the update is that none of these sweaters have been bit on, not event the minimum asking price. Let’s see what happens tomorrow, it is for a good cause.
