Hit Pick

Denver-based trio Pure Drama takes center stage with the release of a second full-length album, On the Surface, to be celebrated with a multimedia fete on Friday, January 26, at Rock Island. The album’s twelve tracks work toward conveying emotion and energy through the often-dreamy beats and lyrics. Pure Drama welcomes the addition of guitarist Erik Jeffries, who joins founding electronic dance duo Ryan Policky on vocals, bass and strings, and Becca Gomez on vocals and keyboard. Friday’s CD-release party will showcase the band’s new songs; Hermit Bastard plans to make an appearance, along with a fetish fashion show featuring just the right clothing to match Pure Drama’s atmospheric dance music.
