Purple Thread's main aim is to take audiences on a magical mystery ride swirling through a genre-defying sea of glittery, groovy noise. Rattling through live performances prone to the odd mid-song poetry break, a furious groove and the kind of hooks you just ~have~ to sing along to, Purple Thread are rapidly forging a name for themselves as one of the most energetic and captivating live bands on the circuit.
With recent successes such as supporting L.A. Witch and Skating Polly on their international tours, playing festivals in Camden and Leeds and being interviewed about our latest single by Alan Raw on BBC Introducing West Yorkshire, the band is going from strength to strength with no intentions of slowing down any time soon.
Glitter was released in March 2018 - a snappy, grunge-tinged singalong track, the song quickly became a favourite among the crowds soon after release. Latest single Life's a Drag shows off the funkier side of the band, and has been highly praised for its fusion of rock, funk and pop elements.
Anyone that turns up to a Purple Thread gig is advised not to forget their dancing shoes.
"It’s funk as played by a 70s’ New York punk band. It’s a raging maelstrom of sound. It is, and I mean this most sincerely, fucking incredible."
-Local Sound Focus
“[Purple Thread] wow the crowd with their fantastic blend of indie rock"
-Christian Carlisle, BBC Introducing
"The band leave you wanting more but only once you’ve had a chance to catch your breath and maybe a bit of a sit down."
-Listen With Monger
"Liz Mann’s vocals have much of the nonchalant hard-arse sass of peak Blondie Debbie Harry, complete with Harry’s richer tone. This is a voice that could go far."
- Halfway 2 Nowhere
