Kris Kirkman (lead singer, guitar) & Zach Hinkelman (lead guitar) from the long time Portland rock band Purusa dropped by – through the magic of modern technology – Sounds of PDX to promote their new single “Weightless” and give us the latest on upcoming shows and even more new music.
Despite a 10 year hiatus, and band member changes, Purusa continues to rock pretty damn hard 🤘🏽and has done so with its current line-up since 2019. “Weightless” – which you can hear an acoustic version of live ⬇️ – is hopefully just the first of many new singles coming out by the band.
Kris & Zach performed over at Music Millenium for a stellar in-store appearance HOWEVER…if you missed that…the duo will be at the Youngberg Hill Winery on July 23rd. If rockin’ out is a little more your style, you can catch the FULL BAND at White Eagle on July 24th as they embark on their 2025 Weightless Summer Tour with JJ Braves and Kill the Headlights.
Give the bands a follow on IG – Purusa, JJ Braves & Kill the Headlights – so you can keep up on all things tour & music related and of course, take a listen to our interview below with the two dudes at the heart & soul of PDX’ Purusa.
