Billboard Mentions My Pure Rubbish Video
It’s hard to believe this was almost 25 years ago! I made this amateur video for fun, while I was attending the Art Institute of Houston to help promote the band, Pure Rubbish. The web was still somewhat new to us all and this was long before YouTube. This video made its way around the web and got some press alongside the band, such as the article featured here in Billboard Magazine.
“Is the world ready for teenaged GN’R/New York Dolls worshippers who are as authentic as Johnny Thunders and as catchy as Cheap Trick? Lemmy from Motörhead, the members of Nashville Pussy and Ozzy Osbourne think so, the first two taking the then-unsigned Pure Rubbish on the road, the third inking the quartet to Divine Recordings. With Mike (GN’R) Clink producing the Glamorous Youth debut set for a fall/winter release, a four-song EP due out momentarily and a slot on Ozzfest’s second stage, the band is set to stun. “This is going to be an international success story,” says Divine’s Scott Givens. To that end, an underground video, cyber team and street team will build awareness, with European Ozzfest dates and overseas shows with Motörhead also in place.” – Katherine Turman | Billboard
