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

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.

i can see panic in drummer's eyes ahahaha

[@wepeeplilb]

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

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.

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

[@Supanizar]

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

[@xXKawaiiXIchigoXx]

Ahaha, you came here because of that too? xD

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

[@PrettyFly4ABakedPie]

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

[@Keithider]

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

[@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.

[@Hitcharooskii]

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

[@jdk0777]

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

[@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.

[@stewartplays]

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

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
