September 2009 sees the release of 'Sharpen Up The Knives' the brand new studio album. The album consists of a selection of their favourite tracks, some brand new recordings alongside a recently re-recorded version of 'Traffic Jam In Memory Lane'.
James Mudriczki's voice has attracted the support of US folk icon Judy Collins. She chose James to feature on her current tribute album 'Born To The Breed' alongside the world's finest singers, including: Leonard Cohen, Dolly Parton, Joan Baez, Chrissie Hynde and Rufus Wainwright.
The band has just scheduled their biggest European show to date as special guests of electro icons Depeche Mode at their Terra Vibe Park sell out stadium gig in Athens on May 12th 2009.
Just like their music releases and associated promotion, this is an independent event organised by the band and their management. Surviving nearly two decades and seeing off countless imitators and movements, Puressence have achieved this through great songs, engaging live shows and an ever increasing loyal fanbase.
September will see a new album from the band with an accompanying UK tour alongside some headline outdoor Greek shows where the band occupied the country's national airwaves throughout 2008 with their number 1 track 'Don't Know Any Better.'
Puressence also play their biggest UK headline show to date on Saturday 14th November at Manchester Apollo Theatre.
