Buy Purple Tree DVD Set - Only 10$ WHAT IS 'PURPLE TREE'?

"Purple Tree are essentially a vehicle for the music of singer and songwriter David Perry" ~UNCUT Magazine

"Purple Tree comes off as a refreshing new vibe instead of another Sgt. Peppers era Beatles wannabe band [...] Their lyrics have lyrical substance to them, unlike what you would hear with main-stream music today. " ~N.R.Mozis, ROCKBAND.COM

“This project [Purple Tree] will be a vehicle for my songs,” Interview with David Perry ~Midwest Beat Magazine 2003

PRESS RELEASE 2007:Purple Tree’ is the retro rock movement for the new century. Incorporating influences from the 60’s and 70’s, together with vintage keyboards, this music has been described by listeners as "British Sounding", and even "Pink Floyd meets Julian Lennon". ‘Purple Tree’s lyrics are masterful and enlightening with a sharp message involving love, life, and politics. The project has an eclectic sound appeasing to several ages and genres while ignoring popular categories and labels.

BIOGRAPHY:In November 2000, the Purple Tree Project originated as a session band for David Perry’s Plasticine Man CD. By February 2001, the band agreed to perform Plasticine Man to a live audience and began rehearsal. They booked under the name David Perry and the Purple Tree, naming the session musicians after their song Purple Tree. The first mix of Plasticine Man was finished in December 2001 prompting a private CD release party in Valparaiso, Indiana December 7th, 2001. The CD was released as a Limited Edition, with plans to have it professionally mixed and released in the future.

In 2002 Purple Tree began performing in Chicago, Illinois. The band booked under the name David Perry’s Purple Tree. By 2003 the project had changed several musicians due to artistic conflicts, continuing to book performances, but now under just the name Purple Tree. David booked studio time at Studio Chicago to re-record Plasticine Man, engineered by Cousin Chuck Kawal.

In 2004, David moved to Astoria Queens, NY and wrote a new Purple Tree CD entitled the Final Prophecy. He remixed and used drum tracks from previous Studio Chicago sessions to assemble songs without a band, then performed remaining instruments himself. After the EP was complete in 2005, he assembled a new Purple Tree line up and held a private CD release in Manhattan. After which, they performed the Final Prophecy around New York City and surrounding suburbs the remainder of 2006. In March 2007 David moved to Chicago where he continues to write and record music under the name Purple Tree using a new line-up of musicians.

Darling
As my MySpace friend, I am including you in something exciting--we have begun to show off my new legit FEATURE FILM! NATASHA KIZMET: THE MOVIE! It has been called BORAT MEETS CANDY by the Denver Post's Bill Husted, and I want your feedback, and the feedback of your MySpace friends! You would be doing me a big favor if you would post this comment so people would know to go the the "My Videos" section of my profile to watch the trailer and the other scenes I have posted. This is my market research as to how well we have done. The film is being shopped as we speak by a major film agent, and we are entering it in Film Festivals! This is exciting, and thanks SO MUCH for your help!!

If you want to help market the film, or get on the list to order the DVD when it comes out at a discount, email me at
natasha.kizmet.the.movie@gmail.com

xoxo
Natasha



Also,my movie features a sequence with a Belly Dancing show that I did under my belly dancing alter ego of Raya--TEMPTATION OF BELLY DANCE. It has been called the most artistic and sensual live belly dance DVD ever!! Please have a look, and visit the DVDs web site!
