WOAH! More Details to come on this one, but wanted to get it on the website now. So…if you had ears and were alive in the 90s, you likely heard one of Sweet Water’s hits on the radio. They were one of my favorite bands of that era for sure and they’re still all over my playlists today. We’re crazy stoked to get to share the stage with both them AND Stereo Embers from Seattle, this summer at Dante’s. Please check back for more details!

We’re honored to be a small part of Portland History with this event coming up! Sans Bar is a sober bar out of Austin, TX dedicated to fostering meaningful connection with folks, sans booze. This pop-up event in Portland is part of its 2019 national tour, and the event will support the LGBTQ community by benefiting Portland's Q Center.
Three of the four members of Purusa are sober, so this event means something special to us. Also - 1) This will be our first show with new bassist Dave Boyle and, 2) we’re doing this one full band acoustic, which we rarely do. If you’ve ever thought “man, I like this band, but they’re so F-Ing LOUD!” - then this is your show. Our tunes will be stripped down and quieter, a la Def Leppard VH1 Story Tellers. Yup, I just did that.

Kris and Zach are back for another Acoustic set at The Buffalo Gap. They'll be playing songs from Repair, Soundtrack, Spectacle, and lots of unreleased new and old stuff. This show will feature an opening set by Sharlet Crooks!
AND IT'S FREE. NO COVER CHARGE!!!
These Acoustic shows are how Purusa got started, as a duo. Each song kind of gets a new life and a different perspective when stripped down to just guitars and vocals. Here's a video of Kris and Zach doing a tribute to Chris Cornell from the last Buffalo Gap show:
Hope to see you there! We'll be upstairs in the annex where the drinks are strong, the food delicious and the servers are beautiful.

We could not be more stoked about this show. Opening for dada back in 2003 at the Roseland was one of Purusa's favorite moments ever. We almost can't believe we get to do it again. If you think you've never heard dada, you have. And if you really haven't, I'm sorry. You have been severely deprived. One of our favorite bands, great songwriters and performers. You do not want to miss this show!
