Pure

There are seven artists named Pure:

1.Pure was a Canadian alternative rock band, originating in Vancouver, Canada in 1991. Previously, the band was known as After All and Grin Factory. Signed to the Reprise label, the band reached a greater audience once their song "Greedy" was featured on the soundtrack album Songs from the Cool World. They later appeared on Shag Records and Mammoth Records.
They were nominated for a Most Promising Group of the Year Juno Award in 1993, but they lost to Skydiggers. Pure's song "Tennis Ball" was featured in the movie BASEketball, though not featured on the soundtrack. The band was somewhat notorious for its occasional themes of recreational drug use and carefree attitude, resulting in at least two music videos being banned from airplay on MuchMusic, one of these videos being "Anna is a Speed Freak".
The band's original members were:
Jordy Birch - vocals (new project is Guilty About Girls)
Todd Simko - lead guitar
David Hadley - bass guitar
Leigh Grant - drums; replaced by Jim Hobbs in 1996
Mark R. Henning (Combine the Victorious) - keyboards; left the band in 1995
The group disbanded in 2000, citing "musical differences".

2. Pure was a power electronics trio comprised of Matthew Bower, Alex Binnie, and Alex Winsor. Like their friends Ramleh, they used guitars instead of synthesizers, as favored by Whitehouse, to create their confrontational wall of noise. According to the members of the band, there were never any official releases of music by Pure, aside from a handful of compilation appearances.
After the break up of the group, Matthew Bower formed the new project Total (2), and Alex Binnie joined Zos Kia. During this time, Mark Durgan of Birthbiter asked Matthew if he could release material by Pure. Matthew did send him some solo material (basically Total recordings) which were then issued under the Pure. However, these were not representive of the original group or its sound, and is a Pure release in name only.

3. Peter Votava, aka Pure/DJ Pure, a Viennese electronic musician formerly of the duo Ilsa Gold. Has releases on Mego, his own dOc Recordings imprint, and other labels.

4. DJ Pure is an east London dubstep/grime producer.

6. Is a collective group of artists residing from (F)Whittier, California. Pure started as an idea by the main founder Fernelly Ceria and has spread to become more of a movement, to be spontaneous, in expression, to be pure in art and life.

7. Pure was a Dutch rockband from Castricum that started in 2003 but split up in 2005.

‘Music City 411- Robin Gibb Tribute

By: Andrew Vaughan

It’s truly heartbreaking to see the pain Robin Gibb’s family is going through right now. The Bee Gees singer is in a coma after suffering with liver cancer and most recently pneumonia. Of course, several big name pop acts have passed away recently- Davy Jones of The Monkees probably the most recent. Now I knew Davy to talk to but I’d never met his family. Which is why hearing about the Gibb family’s pain surrounding Robin is so difficult to handle.
