The Pains of Being Pure At Heart
THE PAINS OF BEING PURE AT HEART IN CONCERT:New York indie pop band The Pains of Being Pure of Heart combines the best of Britpop, shoegaze, and '80s new wave to arrive at a sound that's all their own. The group's jaunty, soaring tunes are full of starry-eyed wonder, treating fans to an infectious blend of earnest emotion and catchy pop hooks. From the wispy vocals of singer Kip Berman on "Simple and Sure" to the anthemic riffs of guitarist Christoph Hochheim on "Until the Sun Explodes", The Pains of Being Pure at Heart serve up kaleidoscopic indie rock at its finest, delivering pitch-perfect performances that never fail to get ticket buyers moving and shaking at their celebratory live shows. BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:The Pains of Being Pure at Heart was formed in New York City in 2007 by Kip Berman and Alex Naidus, two musicians who bonded over their shared interest in indie rock acts like the Field Mice and Smashing Pumpkins.
