Purapharm is the vision of, and was formed by, long-time singer/songwriter/guitarist, Tessa Kole. She is now joined by bassist, and husband, Paul Adams, Niki Sims on saxophone and clarinet, and Anthony “Buffalo” Rodriguez on the beat machine, vocals, keyboards and guitar. Paul and Tessa are also the founding members of their former band, 61-Cygni (www.myspace.com/61cygni), and they released two cd’s, “Binaural Beatings” and “Playing In The Halocline”. They played numerous shows in 61-Cygni, making a solid and original impression on the Houston music scene. With Purapharm, they have maintained the wall of spaciousness provided by Tessa’s guitars & vocals and Paul's thunderin' bass groove foundations, but also added the soothing melodies of Niki’s horns and Buffalo’s hypnotic rhythms & melodies. The sound is toned down an iota from the 61-Cygni sound and is slightly more meditative, yet still maintaining the influences of bands like Curve, The Church, My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins & Sonic Youth to name a few, that were ever-so present in 61-Cygni. Purapharm is currently in the studio and in the pre-production stages of work on their debut release.
I think Frankie and Roxy will try and make it to Rudz this Friday night to finally see your new getup! I still miss the Flying Star though and listen to those cd's often. I hope this finds you all well. Happy Thanksgiving! Cheers, Roxanna

Eh, I've no good excuse. Just a run of bad luck with anxiety, and zero energy. I honestly think that even if I had gone, I wouldn't have been able to appreciate the performance. Hope you guys did well, though. Though, I'm sure y'all probably did.
hey Kidz- Sorry we won't be able to come! WALKING TIMEBOMBS is playing a private party that night @ M2 gallery! We need to do a show together soon! I ran into an old friend of yours. Soon I will write and tell you all about it! Later you super talented fuckers!S&S

Hello, I hope Saturday is treating you right. We have a show next Saturday, August 2nd at Rudyards and would be delighted if you made it to it. Until then, peace it!
Good show Friday guys! Seems like a lot of new material. CD coming soon? I miss Tessa's singing, but you guys are enjoyable regardless! You're also a fun band to watch because of the juxtoposition between you guys. Tessa seems to gently caress the guitar strings slowly and methodically while Paul is beating the bass like its a redheaded stepchild. Ha ha. Magnificent as always! Sorry I didn't say hi but you guys were really busy post-show and I was worried about my haphazardly-parked car down the street. ;) Hope to see you again soon!
