Instead of bending and breaking\, their bonds crystallize in the roughest of rough patches. If friendship had a sound\, it would be Peach Pit. The wistful grooves\, glassy guitars\, and sun-kissed melodies feel like they could only be made by musicians who have spent close to a lifetime (or at least half of their lives) together. \n\n\n\nThe Vancouver quartet of Neil Smith (vocals\, guitar)\, Chris Vanderkooy (guitar)\, Peter Wilton (bass)\, and Mikey Pascuzzi (drums)\, trace their union back to high school. During 2016\, they served up the self-titled single\, “Peach Pit”\, eclipsing north of 78 million total streams on Spotify. \n\n\n\nThe group continued to gain traction with their 2017 full-length debut\, Being So Normal. Among many highlights\, “Tommy’s Party” and “Alrighty Aphrodite” both surpassed 79 million Spotify streams as the band graced the bills of festivals such as Shaky Knees Festival\, Bonnaroo\, M3F Festival\, Sea Hear Now Festival\, All Things Go Festival\, Firefly Festival\, and many more. \n\n\n\nIn 2020\, Peach Pit revealed You and Your Friends\, which DIY Mag hailed as “12 tracks of infectious indie-pop gems” while Atwood Magazine described the band as being “at the cutting edge of the alternative music scene.” Carrying this momentum into late 2021\, they kicked off the next chapter of the band and their friendship with the single “Up Granville.”. \n\n\n\nTo kick off 2022\, the band released two singles entitled “Vickie” and “Look Out!” off of their highly anticipated new album From 2 to 3. The album was released in March 2022 with focus track “Give Up Baby Go.” The band is in the midst of a completely sold out run of dates in the US and will be heading back into the studio in 2023. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVISIT ARTIST WEBSITE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHIS PERFORMANCE POWERED BY:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADDITIONAL SUPPORT FROM: URL:https://convocations.purdue.edu/event/peach-pit-2024/ LOCATION:Elliott Hall of Music\, 712 3rd Street\, West Lafayette\, IN\, 47907\, United States CATEGORIES:Music,Special Event,Student Concert Committee ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://convocations.purdue.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/PP_1920x1080.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Purdue Convocations":MAILTO:convos@purdue.edu GEO:40.4279028;-86.9149598 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Elliott Hall of Music 712 3rd Street West Lafayette IN 47907 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=712 3rd Street:geo:-86.9149598,40.4279028 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20240321T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20240321T193000 DTSTAMP:20240321T165005Z CREATED:20230706T223000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240321T165005Z UID:10000499-1711049400-1711049400@convocations.purdue.edu SUMMARY:Kronos Quartet DESCRIPTION:Kronos Quartet\nFIVE DECADES TOUR \n\n\n\nThe November 9\, 2023 Kronos Quartet concert has been rescheduled to Mar. 21\, 2024 at 7:30pm due to artist illness.
