"They have all the ingredients - dollops of agony and
ecstasy, choruses the size of their hometown and songs that aim for a
deep emotional connection"
The Guardian
P U R E S S E N C E:
James Mudriczki (vocals), Lowell Killen (guitar)
Kevin Matthews (bass), Anthony Szuminski (drums).
In April 2010 Puressence will play their first ever
shows in China.
October 2009 saw the release of 'Sharpen Up The Knives'
the brand new studio album. The album consists of a selection of their
favourite tracks alongside some brand new recordings.
James Mudriczki's voice has attracted the support of US
folk icon Judy Collins. She chose James to feature on her current
tribute album 'Born To The Breed' alongside the world's finest
singers, including: Leonard Cohen, Dolly Parton, Joan Baez, Chrissie
Hynde and Rufus Wainwright.
The band were special guests of electro icons Depeche
Mode at their infamous Terra Vibe Park sell out stadium gig in Athens
on May 12th 2009.
Just like their music releases and associated
promotion, this is an independent event organised by the band and
their management. Surviving nearly two decades and seeing off
countless imitators and movements, Puressence have achieved this
through great songs, engaging live shows and an ever increasing loyal
fanbase.
In October 2009 the band undertook a successful tour of
the UK alongside some headline outdoor Greek shows where the band
occupied the country's national airwaves throughout 2008 with their
number 1 track 'Don't Know Any Better.'
Puressence also played their biggest UK headline show
to date on Saturday 14th November at Manchester Apollo Theatre.
