Archive: Pure performs Anna on CMVA 1993

Back in 1993 Pure was invited to perform live on Much Music as part of the Canadian Music Video Awards (following picking up an award for best Alternative Video). This was in the autumn and following a summer writing session for the second album. In this clip the band is performing a brand new song Anna Is A Speed Freak, one of the first of the new batch of songs that would become Generation 6 Pack.

Archive: Pure - Blissful Kiss Live on Much Music 1992

This is the first time the band Pure appeared live on Much Music. Terry David Mulligan introduced us and afterward conducted a short interview. We played our song "Blissful Kiss" which was a less successful single from Pureafunalia. In the interview we discussed being of the "Big, Bad, and Groovy"cross Canada tour supporting Bootsauce, Sons of Freedom and Art Bergman. I believe this was filmed in Sept 1992.

Industry Night: Episode One - Japanese Girls

We had a fantastic launch to our new series on Monday night, with an energetic and inspired performance by Japanese Girls and a hilarious interview with Hatch and Cory from Sex With Strangers.  The crowd was buzzing after the night and there is a feeling of excitement about the upcoming shows.




Our next show in the series is Monday Oct 28th with musical guests Legs and host Christine McAvoy.  There's quite a buzz surrounding this band so we expect another brilliant night down at the Media Club.

After the 28th we are relocating the show to The Cobalt, and will be restarting on Nov 25th with none other than Phoenix Thunderbird!  Expect Hatch to be back in the interviewer seat, he did a wonderful job and seemed to enjoy it thoroughly!

 

Here's another song recorded on the night: Vancouver Grizzly, the first single off Japanese Girls Shark Week ep.
