STG Presents
PLACE OF MY OWN TOUR
PURITY RING
Event Information
Purity Ring has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 per ticket goes to support The Black Trans Prayer Book, and their work to celebrate and uplift Black Trans & Non-Binary people. Purity Ring kindly requests that all attendees wear a respirator (N95 or KN95) for the duration of the show. There will be free high-filtration masks at the door for those who don’t have them. We want our shows to be a place where we take care of each other. wearing a high-filtration mask is an act of material care and a show of solidarity with disabled and immunocompromised people. It’s a small thing we can do to keep each other safe. Covid and other airborne diseases continue to disable and kill people in our communities. 1 in 5 covid infections results in long term symptoms, and the risk of long term symptoms increases cumulatively with each infection. Everyone is vulnerable to these impacts. To learn more about covid’s impact on the brain and body and why this all matters, read this zine -laurellynnleake.com/whywemask/
Artist Information
Purity Ring’s self-titled fourth album marks the beginning of a bold new era, the duo have
crafted a concept album that serves as the soundtrack to an imagined RPG. Inspired by games
like Nier Automata and Final Fantasy X, the record tells the story of two hapless characters —
embodiments of Megan James and Corin Roddick— on a journey to build a kinder world amid
the ruins of a broken one. Roddick reaches into his deepest musical memories to sculpt
euphoric, otherworldly soundscapes of vintage digital synths, classical guitar, pan flutes,
breakbeats, and haunted vocoders. Along with her unmistakable sound, James has unlocked an
arsenal of vocal deliveries and a joyous, dizzying stream of consciousness in her words. Here
with their first self-titled and self-released LP, Purity Ring steps fully into a dream they've been
circling for years—one that feels vast, unrestrained, and true to who they’ve become.
Since emerging in the early 2010s, James and Roddick have made a lasting impact on the
electronic pop landscape, building a world all their own with immersive self-produced albums
and groundbreaking visual live show experiences. Their debut Shrines (2012) earned Pitchfork’s
Best New Music Honors and was shortlisted for the Polaris Prize, and breakout track
“Fineshrine” is RIAA Gold-certified in the U.S. Over the years, they’ve collaborated with artists
including Danny Brown, Deftones and Black Dresses.
