Pure Joy unites Guelphites Scott Fitzpatrick (Nate Coles Trio, Mo' Kauffey) and Rachael Bishop with former members of Texting Mackenzie, Robin Wright and Alex Ricci, who after being given time to examine the two-year tenure of their previous band, decided to focus on what made it most enjoyable - sweet, emotionally driven harmonies and memorable hooks. Pure Joy both takes influence from bands of the previous five decades, as well as hiding those influences while creating something completely unique.
The name stems from a song from punk pioneers the Minutemen, and was chosen by the band because it is pursuit often confused for materialism and empty passion in society and it is simple and pronounceable with an emotive resonance (in honour of bands like Joy Division).
Live, Pure Joy turns heads, captivating audiences of all musical interests throughout their fast-paced shows, and leaving them wanting more.
Recording and rehearsing tirelessly, Pure Joy toils through the winter in expectation of a fruitful and fun summer!
