Overview

Pure was a Canadian alternative rock band, formed in Vancouver in 1991. 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, and the single "Blast" reached No. 22 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart in 1993. History The band's original members were singer Jordy Birch, guitarist Todd Simko, bass guitarist Dave Hadley and drummer Leigh Grant. Grant was replaced in 1996 by Jim Hobbs. Mark R. Henning played keyboards, but left in 1994. Birch, Simko, and Grant had been members of the band After All, which had released one album, 1988's How High the Moon. After All disbanded after vocalist Scott Acomba left the band in 1989, and the remaining members continued as Pure. The band's original name was "The Grin Factory". The band was discovered at Vancouver's Music West Conference in 1991, when they went there to showcase their demo, impressing amongst others, an executive from Restless Records. They were subsequently signed by Warner/Reprise and the band's song "Greedy" was used in the Ralph Bakshi animated movie Cool World. Purefunalia In 1992, the band, now named "Pure" (named after the title of one of their songs), released their debut album, Purefunalia. The album was produced by Talking Heads keyboardist Jerry Harrison. The band's first chart success occurred with the album's lead single, "Blast", which reached No. 1 on the RPM Canadian Content (Cancon) chart. "Blast" also charted in the United States on the Billboard Modern Rock chart in 1993, peaking at No. 22. Another single from the album, "Blissful Kiss", also reached No. 1 on the RPM Cancon chart. In 1993, Pure were nominated for a Juno Award for Most Promising Group of the Year. Later that year, the music video for "Blast" won the award for the "Best Alternative Video" at the 1993 Canadian Music Video Awards.

Notable quotes

“To cease from evil, to do good, and to purify the mind yourself, this is the teaching of all the Buddhas.”
— Gautama Buddha, in the Dhammapada, Verse 183.
“True human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to the fore only when its recipient has no power. Mankind's true moral test, its fundamental test (which is deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals.”
— Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
“Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.”
— John Lubbock, The Pleasures of Life
“One must be a sea, to receive a polluted stream without becoming impure.”
— Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
“Have you not seen those who claim themselves to be pure? Rather, Allah purifies whom He wills, and injustice is not done to them, (even) as much as a thread (inside a date seed).”
— Quran 4:49
“Les choses valent toujours mieux dans leur source.”
— The stream is always purer at its source.
