Night Vision Binoculars
(Chalkmark; June 24, 2008)
Passenger Announce U.S. Shows
Debut EP and Album to be Released in the U.S.
“…richer than David Gray while every bit as mournful as Nick Drake” - MSN
“Intensely beautiful” - The Sun
“heaps of style and intelligence” - NME
Brighton based British band, Passenger, have announced two U.S. shows this June:
Monday, June 9th Los Angeles, CA Hotel Cafe
Wednesday, June 11th New York, NY Mercury Lounge
Passenger are set to release their first EP, Night Vision Binoculars, digitally in the U.S. on June 24th this year.
They will be following this up with their debut album release Wicked Man’s Rest later in the summer, giving
American audiences a taste of their poignant tales told through strong melodies and thoughtful lyrics.
Passenger’s songs are like mini-movies and when you see the band perform live, songwriter and vocalist Mike
Rosenberg becomes the star of each film. His sincere voice and knack for creating and inhabiting memorable
characters is at the heart of Passenger’s unique sound.
Passenger have already had success in the UK, with shows opening for Kate Nash, The Hold Steady and Newton
Faulkner and have also become a favorite on the UK festival circuit with a second year confirmed at both The
Great Escape and V Festival. A performance at Scotland’s Connect Festival has been slotted in for this summer
where they’ll share a bill with Sia, Sigur Ros, Franz Ferdinand and many more. Passenger’s name is quickly
spreading in the UK and the band is looking forward to their debut NYC and LA performances this June!
