Purple 7 Tours Again!

Purple 7 has been doing some extensive basement practice sessions, and as much as we love it down there, we might go crazy if we don’t hit the road soon. So that’s exactly what we’re going to do, hit the road, try and play every night, and end up at the ocean. We’re really excited about our new songs and about playing them for a couple weeks straight. Come out and see us if we’re headed your way, and spread the word.

Check it out, here we have a video for the song “Poison Ivy,” the first song on our first record that’s getting released Oct. 4th on Let’s Pretend Records.  Many thanks to Eric Ayotte, he did all the camerawork and editing on this sucker.  We worked together on the “I’m Against the Government” video and it went so smoothly and turned out so well that I roped him into doing another.  Check out his other videos, too.  We leave on tour next Friday (our tour dates are posted over there to the right) so come out and see us if we’re in your town.  Hope you dig scenic downtown Bloomington in the midwestern fall evening lighting ….

The Purple 7 is a band that features Will from DEFIANCE, OH/LANDLORD, Chris Mott from LANDLORD, and Patrick Jennings from the HOT NEW MEXICANS. Conceived in Chris’s attic and Will’s basement at MAGNETIC SOUTH on several experimental 4 track sessions while on leave from Landlord, the band has taken on new dimensions since Patrick arrived in town and set up shop in a suburban style studio on the south side of Bloomington. We were destined, it seems, to be in a band together. Our first 5 song record (one sided 12″ 45 rpm on marbled purple & black vinyl with an engraving on the back) will be available from Let’s Pretend records (www.letspretendrecords.com) on October 4th and to celebrate we are setting out on our debutante midwestern tour. See the list of shows in the “Family” section of this website. If you’re curious and need to know more, please visit our tumblr (www.thepurpleseven.tumblr.com) or check out our bandcamp (www.basementpop,bandcamp.com) and if you live in the midwest, come out and say hello.
