American buzz bands play Whelan's

Two critically salivated over American bands for the price of one is the deal on March 1 as Hockey and Passion Pit double-up at Whelan’s. Tickets are €15.
The former are from Portland and make a DFA-ish punk funk noise (albeit with added guitar bollocks), while the latter are from Cambridge, Massachusetts and have a definite whiff of the MGMTs about them.
Needless to say, Hot Press will be talking to both of them soon.
