Pure(3)

:(This page is about the American alternative rock band. For the British band of the same name, see Pure. For the drum and bass act of the same name, see Pure(2)).
Pure was an American alternative rock band founded in 1989 consisting of Danni Iosello (drums), Martin Beeler (guitar) and Stephen Dunnington (vocals/bass). The band only released one single in 1991 called Ballard. In 1992, Dunnington balked at more touring, deciding instead that his schooling at the University of North Carolina-Asheville was the priority. Pure even passed up a chance to open for a Bleach-era Nirvana in Charlotte because Dunnington had a calculus exam he couldn't miss. That decision paid off for him. Shortly after graduation, Dunnington's academic achievements earned him a spot at the Asheville-based lab of electronic audio pioneer Bob Moog. He's now a product designer who still sometimes plays music with locals.
Iosello and Beeler briefly moved to her Chicago hometown, a "duo looking for a trio," as she puts it. A new band didn't happen, and that was it for their collaboration. Iosello came back to North Carolina, earned her degree and returned to Chicago, playing briefly in Califone and eventually marrying guitarist Tim Hurley before forming Sin Ropas. Again, she came to the North Carolina mountains. Beeler played "droney, noisy stuff" with the Knoxville band Or in the mid- and late-90s. He currently lives in Brooklyn.
