courtship. is comprised of Eli Hirsch and Micah Gordon. This LA based duo is not new to the music scene, and you’ve probably heard one of their indie-pop songs. They are currently on tour opening for Passion Pit. One of their recent stops was in Seattle, WA at the Showbox SoDo.

Eli was elated to be given the opportunity to open for Passion Pit, noting that he had been an avid listener since the beginning of Passion Pit. These boys are full of life, and genuine enthusiasm. They made great use of their time and had the entire crowd dancing along to all their songs. It was endearing to hear Eli speak after songs and voice his gratitude to play for the people of Seattle.

Passion Pit came out to a packed and lively crowd. Michael pulled every ounce of energy out of him and performed beautifully. In previous interviews, he had mentioned touring to help pay for a mental health facility. His candid nature surrounding this commonly unspoken condition has been refreshing. Passion Pit purposefully kept the tour short, rightfully prioritizing Michael’s mental health. He tweeted earlier this week that he doesn’t know if or when he will be touring again and that he is thankful for all the support on the tour.
