  • Passion Pit: Il Nuovo Album 'Kindred'
    MERCOLEDì 22 APRILE 2015 'Kindred' è il titolo del terzo album dei PASSION PIT, band electro synth-pop originaria di Boston e attiva dal 2007, in uscita oggi 21 aprile 2015. Passion Pit: il nuovo album 'Kindred' 'Kindred' è stato registrato a New York e prodotto da Michael Angelakos, frontman della band, con Chris Zane, Alex Aldi e Benny Blanco. Il disco In vendita da ieri 21 aprile 2015 contiene 10 canzoni inedite che confermano la freschezza e l'originalità di questa band e le caratteristiche che le hanno consentito di emergere: scrittura dei brani semplice e accattivante, tanta elettronica e ritmo, il tutto senza rinunciare alla melodia. LA REDAZIONE La storia dei PASSION PIT inizia nel 2008 con la pubblicazione dell'EP di debutto "Chunk of Change". Alcune delle canzoni di questo EP, tra cui il singolo Sleepyhead, vengono utilizzate in campagne pubblicitarie e suscitano curiosità e apprezzamenti tra il pubblico. Nel 2009 il gruppo pubblica il primo album dal titolo 'Manners'. Il buon successo ottenuto da questo disco negli Stati Uniti, in Canada e Regno Unito permette loro [email protected] di acquisire ulteriore visibilità e intraprendere un lungo tour negli U.S.A., SPETTACOLINEWS.IT sia come headliner che come supporto ai Muse. 'Gossamer', pubblicato nel 2012, è il disco che consente ai PASSION PIT di fare il salto di qualità sia negli Stati Uniti, dove l'album entra direttamente al quarto posto della classifica Top 200 di Billboard, che nel resto del mondo. Sempre in quell'anno si esibiscono in un Madison Square Garden al limite della capienza e al Lollapalooza Festival.

After reading one day that men are the dominant family member, Gandhi told his wife Kasturba that she wasn’t allowed to leave the house without his permission. The next day, she left without his per- mission anyway, because she was raised to obey only her elders. “If you want me to obey you instead of your father, let me know so I can go and tell your mother, ‘I’m not going to obey him anymore,’ ” Kasturba said. The Gandhi Center for Global Nonviolence invit- ed Gandhi’s grandson, Arun, to share the legacy of nonviolence this conversation started. More than 200 people attended the event held in Wilson Hall on Thursday. Arun grew up in South Africa, where he was beat up by white men because they thought he was black. He was also beat up by black men because they thought he was white. Because of this bullying, 12-year-old Arun was sent to live with Gandhi in India. Throughout his presentation, see GANDHI, page A4 LAUREN GORDON / CONTRIBUTING PHOTOgraPHER When Arun Gandhi was 12, he went to live with his grandfather Mahatma Gandhi in India.
