VIDEO: Pure X - "Surface" Live @ 285Kent

2 Short, 2 SweetIt brings me a mix of great pain and pleasure to review the footage from Pure X's last visit to the east coast. But it is with love I, along with Weird Magic, present this clip of "Surface" from their show at 285Kent:

My daddy always taught me that between love and sadness, we should always send love out into the world whenever possible. So, all the love in the universe to these guys!

VIDEO: Pure X - "Easy"

Don't Feel Nothin'Pure X's new video for "Easy" came out yesterday. It features some friends of theirs who are in the Austin hardcore S&M scene. Which brings up the larger issue...

...which is: there exists an Austin hardcore S&M scene?? Weird.

Conceptually the imagery for the song works well, making the clear connection to the lyrical message of numbness and apathy, pain and pleasure.

On a separate note, check out Pure X's recent feature in the NY Times. Whaaat. These three guys are some of the best people one could hope to meet, and it is so real to see them being loved on an even grander, highly publicized scale.

Spread the love for Pure X.
