Puracane is an electronic music band from New York, featuring Ali Rogers on vocals, Juan Masotta on guitar and programming, David Leatherwood on bass, Susan Elinger on Piano, and Tony Diodore on guitar and violin.
Puracane formed in 1999, originally as the duo of Ali Rogers and programmer/producer David Biegel (who has also recorded under the name Skyjuice and as a member of Bugs).
[1] It featured former Psychedelic Furs guitarist Knox Chandler and was positively received, with Allmusic reviewer Pemberton Roach giving it four stars and calling it "everything a good trip-hop album should be" and "exceptionally accessible", also comparing Rogers' vocals to Björk.
[5] Following the album's release, Puracane toured as a live band without Biegel, with Sting, Jane's Addiction, and Depeche Mode.
Juan and Ali focused on completing their album I've Been Here The Longest, which was released in the Summer of 2009 on Astraea Records.
