I was so pleased that Puressence had released their second album, "Only Forever" earlier in the year as it meant they were back on the road - and I really couldn't get enough of them live. I'd managed to see them a couple of times back in 1996, and once in May 1998 when they … Continue reading GIG 376: Puressence / The Dandys – LA2, 23rd September 1998

So when i found out they were playing The 100 Club, on Oxford Street, I grabbed a couple of … Continue reading GIG 272: Puressence / Auratone – The 100 Club, 2nd April 1996
