   About The 40 Purple Afros
The 40 Purple Afros:

A band made up of three peculiar fellows:

  • A guitarist who claims his eyes smell ("because I don't wash them often enough"),
  • a drummer who is so small you could rest your drink on his head,
  • and a bassist who has the largest forehead you will ever see.
  • Here are the songs that chronicle and explain our very special existence.

    Have a listen…

    Hey boys, been loving the tracks from the new CD today.  Catchy hooks, amazing playing, interesting arrangements, heavy grooves... Love the use of police radio sample in 999, sounds wicked.  Will email you some more thoughts soon, but thanks for sharing.

    Gwyneth Herbert is a fan of The 40 Purple Afros.

    Aha, wow, that would be amazing. Where did you go to school?
    Err, not sure, I'll have a think, but I'm sure that if you contacted somewhere like the Studio they would be able to set you up with some other good bands.
