Tame with Purs - An Interview


Seguindo a máxima do TBTCI, "Uma Viagem ao Submundo dos Bons Sons", aterrizamos em Londres para acompanhar os primeiros passos e o nascimento do Purs.

Tame, primeira música deles disponibilizada ao mundo, é um doce shoegaze remetendo ao Lush e outras clássica da Scene.

Deliciosamente sexy e viciante, Tame é um ótimo aperitivo e cartão de visitas para o que o Purs poderá nos ofertar em um futuro não muito distante.

Para acompanhar de olhos e ouvidos atentos, que venha muito mais.

***** Interview with Purs *****


Q. When did Purs start? Tell us about the history...
PURS started as a recording project in July 2015 and has developed into a full band with Serra Petale - vocals/guitar, Andy Becker - guitar, Chris Prosho - guitar/synth, Marie-Anne Cavache-Bass and Mattias Bhatt - Drums. Andy met Serra and Mattias playing bass for their other band Kid Wave before leaving to study at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague.

Q: Who are your influences?
We listen to a lot of different music, though you could say we’re influenced by bands like MBV, Cocteau Twins, The Smiths, Lush and P.J Harvey.

Q. Make a list of 5 albuns of all time…
5 albums of all time
Loveless - My Bloody Valentine
Siamese Dream - The Smashing Pumpkins
Monster - R.E.M
Rid of Me - P.J Harvey
Experimental Jet Set Trash No Star - Sonic Youth

Q. How do you feel playing live?
We haven’t played a live show together yet, so far we’ve been busy recording and rehearsing. We’re aiming to get out playing live later this year.


Q. How do you describe Purs sounds?
Big, sexy guitar music with swagger.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
So far we’ve recorded everything ourselves either in our bedrooms or at various studios in London and The Netherlands. It’s been quite chaotic. We’re looking forward to getting into the studio and working as a full band in the very near future.

Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
TVAM, Algiers, Thee MPV’s, Minor Victories and Palace Winter.

I would personally love to do a cover of ‘Luna Park’ by The Pet Shop Boys but I can’t speak for the band as a whole on that one ;)

We want to record an album and then do a tour, ee’d love to play some shows in Brazil!

‘Live long and prosper’.
