Biography
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart are an American indie pop band from New York City. The band was formed by Kip Berman (vocals, guitar), Peggy Wang (keyboards, vocals), Alex Naidus (bass), and Kurt Feldman (drums) in 2007. Their current lineup includes all original members, along with longtime touring guitarist Christoph Hochheim and Brian Alvarez, who has served as the band's touring drummer in place of Feldman, who remains involved with the band offstage after the band's Spain and Portugal tour in 2025. The band broke up in 2019 after a couple of lineup changes since 2012, with Berman being the only constant member. In August 2024, it was announced that the Pains of Being Pure at Heart were reforming.
