BLOG::: /Passenger End Of Year Blog
17 Dec 08

Hello everyone, just want to say a really big thank you to all you who have supported the Passenger cause this year. I know many of you see it as the equivalent of giving money to a charity so for that we are very grateful !!

Sorry that the Passenger online presence has been slight recently, we've been hard at it in the studio getting the cogs moving for album two which is starting to get very exciting !! (well for us anyway)

Hopefully be playing a few English dates early in the new year, followed by some American ones and then dropping the album of the year, those radiohead albums are very slippery !!!

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year !

All the best , Mike/Passenger xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

NEWS:::/Passenger Interview On Kiwi Box
26 Nov 08

Check out the interview below that /Passenger frontman, Mike Rosenberg, gave to Kiwibox,com.   Watch as Mike explains the reason for the bands name change, just what difference he thinks Arizona is to his native town of Brighton and why the band chose to record a cover of Rhianna's Umbrella.  To watch the full sized version of the interview, visit Kiwibox.com by clicking here .

Avid followers of /Passenger might remember that not so long ago the band's music was used in the hilarious short film, Where Have I Been All Your Life, starring Imelda Staunton and James Corden.

Commissioned by the BBC for their Film Network that showcases new British filmmaking talent, this brilliant piece tells of the series of revelations and recriminations, escalating from the emotional, via the darkly comical, to the plain farcical, unlocked through a young man's personal search.

The film is being shown on Thursday 20th November at the Watershed Cinema in Bristol as part of the Encounters Short Film Festival so if you fancy going to catch it on the big screen click here for ticket details.

If you haven't seen the film, or simply want to watch it again, you can catch it at www.wherehaveibeen.info.
