About

'The Sausage Machine', a regular gig promoted at Hampstead's White Horse by label co-founder Paul Cox was to prove to be the foundation for too pure. Spurred on by Richard Roberts - a 'Sausage Machine' regular - the compilation, 'Live at the Sausage Machine', marked the label's first foray into the world of releasing records. Subsequent releases, from the raw confessionals of PJ Harvey and the proto-grunge of Th' Faith Healers to the avant-pop of Stereolab and Mouse on Mars, placed too pure at the heart of a revitalised indie scene, earning them a sympathetic audience and much respect along the way.

Fast forward to 2006 and too pure are still beating a path for incredible and adventurous new music. Electrelane, mclusky, Monade, Scout Nibett, The Rogers Sisters and Tracy + The Plastics all are testament to that and, with bright prospects in the form of The Organ, Shooting At Unarmed Men and Young People having recently signed to the label and Stereolab returning to the label after a decade away, too pure have an even brighter future to look forward to.
