Some choice gig announcements this morning:

Passion Pit are playing the Olympia on Sunday November 11th. While that was announced a couple of weeks ago, the support bill is what seals the deal for me – Chad Valley and new Glasgow band CHVRCHES. So that’s Hugo Manuel playing  songs from his super sleek ’80s  guest laden synth LP Young Hunger and CHVRCHES’ Purity Ring-esque melodic synth-pop. The gig is a Heineken Live project so tickets are free and got here from October 29th.

Meanwhile, with new album  Anything in Return due in November, Chaz Bundick is bringing Toro Y Moi to the Button Factory on January 20th 2013. Tickets €16 plus fees on sale tomorrow morning. Here’s his new one from the album:
