Background
Purple Jesus started off with just two like minded musicians - Dave and Sam.
Sam's band had just split up and was looking for something new. Dave then
recruited a drummer - Matthew French with whom he had been friends with for many
years. Matthew French being an experienced drummer provided the real punch to
the band from the moment he set up his drums in his first practice. James later
gave into fate after taking the role of bass player and completing the bands
line up.
Members
David Gregory - aka Dave. The joint founder of the band with Sam brought all
4 members of the band together. He combines his lyrical skills, guitar playing
and ideas for the band to become an emphatic front man and will be a vital
factor in the bands push for success.
Sam Chaloner - The band's lead guitarist. He is a key
figure in the band, as his lead solos and vast knowledge of songs are the
driving force behind the band.
James Morris - aka Mozzy. Adds new ideas to songs
through having different tastes in music from the others, as well as being a
dedicated musician. His life experiences add to ever inspire the band more, and
his experience with keyboards adds even more variation to the bands songs.
Matthew French - aka Fry, Frenchy, Noisy Bastard! An
experience drummer adds new dimensions to the band through his musical knowledge
and taste in music. He is also the noisiest and craziest member of the
band!
