We blend brit rock with quirky fun riffs to create a pretty original sound.
Our lyrics are honest and about life in general. Experimentation is a trait of ours, so we are proud to say that we have no direction!
Or, in the words of Lee, "Like somebody trying to tune a bob cat" ... hmmm.
"Sounding like a cross between the Arctic Monkeys, Muse and the Fratellis, Lee's voice combined with that of his backing singers, has a comic quality to it, which is made more obvious when listening closely to the lyrics."

“The Purple Bubbles songs have a party feel to them that makes you want to dance”.
Andrew Bretiss – East Mag
... Then the party that is PURPLE BUBBLE gave it their all and showed the out of towners how Eastbourne likes to groove, party on the stage, party on the floor, bubbles being blown randomly, brit pop at its best!!!
The Purple Bubble at Showcase 2007

Very catchy, I’m put in mind of a rocked out Scissor Sisters. It’s got the slightly campy fun of them, but far superior. I think you describe yourselves as quirky...bloody good description.
Svein93 – Orange Unsigned reviewer, (Unofficial, but we all listened), and Torn Asunder band member.
It was raining. I stared out of the window of my attic room as the raindrops slowly trickled down the window.
I knew it was over, we both did. But neither one of us had the heart to say what had to be said. There was still love, but it had
FADED
.
I didn’t think that she would miss me if I left. I didn’t really care if she did and so all I seemed to do was hurt her. I just couldn’t let her in anymore than I had and for her, it wasn’t enough.
She came into the room, wearing the look that meant business, she wanted an argument; I could feel it.
“Where the hells the love gone”, she demanded,
“Where the hells the trust gone”.
I couldn’t have this conversation yet again. We’d been over it so many times. I had to get away from her. I grabbed my coat and with a shout of, “I’m
GOING OUT”, I headed for the pub.
It’s mad to think that something as simple as magazines could ultimately be enough to DESTROY US. But they were her bible. I couldn’t live up to her expectations of what a twenty-first century guy should be. She’d sit there and read about other people’s lives and then demand answers as to why I had to be so closed and cold. I couldn’t tell her when I didn’t know myself, so I left.
Of course I blamed it all on her.
I started drinking more and more and would end up in the pub telling anyone who’d listen, that she had loved herself more than she had loved me and that she was the one who was in the wrong. I think I was probably trying to convince myself more than them. She would have said that I was ‘SHOUTING SOUP’, had she been there.
My attempts to block out life increased as the days and weeks went past; she hadn’t come crawling back to me as part of me hoped she would. My daily routine consisted of, get up, skin up, finish last nights final can of beer if I hadn’t used it as an ashtray and sometimes even if I had. Then I’d set about finding some female companionship. THE WHOLE OF A WOMAN would take my mind off things for a while. As long as there were no strings attached.
My friends told me I needed to calm down, to look after myself a bit better, the whole ‘VITAMINS AND MULTIGYMS’ routine.
It fell on deaf ears. I’d found the ultimate in ‘no-strings sex’. SOMEONE ELSE'S WIFE!
Then one day, about three month after I walked out, I saw her in town. My stomach flipped at the sight of her and I greeted her awkwardly. I didn’t blame her anymore, I told her that I missed her and wanted her back, I assured her that I would change and that I’d make her feel as I never had done before, it was a SCARY CONVERSATION, but I meant every word. I promised I would be more like her magazine HEROES. She said that she needed to think things over and that she would call me.
From then on my mobile was never out of my sight. Every time it rang I hoped to see her number on the display. But it was never ELINOR. I hid my disappointment well and as time passed I began to realise that she probably wasn’t going to call. I had ruined it. If only I had listened to her when we were still together; trust me to
BLOW
it so completely.
I had to accept that it was AN ERA JUST OVER
THIS PAGE IS CONTINUALLY EVOLVING - AS ARE WE.
The Dictionary definition of our Band name;
Purple - a dark colour that is formed as a pigment by combining red and blue.
Bubble - a thin spherical or dome-shaped film that is filled with air or a gas.
So we are a dark coloured, thin, spherical or dome-shaped film that is filled with air or a gas.
Our definition of our Band name;
Purple – a state of mind where free will is allowed to roam wild, without trampling on the lawns of other peoples souls. Therefore, ‘Purpleness’ is achievement of that mindset.
Bubble – a place that truly ROCKS, where only people that have achieved Purpleness can go, or a person that inhabits such a place.
So we are Purple Bubble, for those with free wills, free minds, and a sense of humour.....
It all started with a man, Lee, sitting in his room writing songs for his own enjoyment.
As time passed he decided that this wasn’t enough any more and that it would be great if he could find some musically-minded people to play his music for him.
Lee would have preferred to concentrate on song-writing , but as no-one suitable presented themselves as lead vocalist he reluctantly decided to do it himself and began practicing his vocals in his spare time, using Freddy Mercury as his role model. (Imagine him singing into his hairbrush with Queen playing in the background!)
He worked his way round the local area bribing and coercing, (in ways that have never been disclosed and never will be, except perhaps, for bucketloads of cash) the musicians he considered to be the best at what they do to come and play in Purple Bubble when they weren't doing anything better. (AS IF!!!) Slowly the band came together and they started out playing acoustic sets for a couple of local venues, then as their numbers increased and word spread they quickly became a big part of the local music scene.
The line-up of Purple Bubble has continued to evolve, however this has never detracted from their ability to put on a good show, in fact it high-lights the musicianship of the band that they are able to pull off an almighty performance even when two key members down.
Unsigned, but with their debut album currently being recorded and enough material for another four, things are moving up a gear for Purple Bubble. The line-up has been finalized, (well, kind of - ish), and whilst they intend to keep their attitude to making music as fun as it ever was now is the time for Purple Bubble to float out into the world, putting smiles on faces and making feet tap as they go.
O.k. so lets be honest.....
The truth is that Mr. Hayes started writing and playing music for his own enjoyment.
But not, as some may think, because of the music.
Actually he wanted to attract members of the opposite sex, you know, for fun, friendship and general frolicking.
Around the same time he had read some books on the subject of psychology and decided that he would call his new ‘babe magnet’ band after his ‘little soldier’. (Freud has a lot to answer for.)
His thoughts turned to what would be a suitably inoffensive euphemism for the end of his penis.
And so Purple Bubble was born.
As time progressed his motivations changed, music became the priority, (mostly), and Purple Bubble gained a life of its own – SCARY!!!
Thankfully Purple Bubble has evolved into a completely different beast and Planet Bubble has tastefully stepped in and silenced the ‘little soldier’.
Never forget though, sometimes a Purple Bubble is just a Purple Bubble, but sometimes it is a penis.
..
So what’s all this Planet Bubble malarkey anyway?
Well, we shall explain.
Planet Bubble is of course, a figment of our imaginations. (Or is it?)
It was an idea that arose from one of those randomly rambling conversations that friends sometimes have, for instance, whilst sitting outside in the sun and drinking beer for too long. Primarily it was sparked by one of our friends who had spent, (possibly), too much time on uTube. Subsequently he had developed a quite unshakeable belief that the world is in fact doomed, (things starting to get tricky around 2012), and that we were all brought here by aliens, you get the picture?......
Anyway, the discussion led on to where would be a safe haven in the future times of trouble, and upon suggestion by previously mentioned alien obsessed friend, it was decided that what we needed was floating invisible cities, or to set up home on a new planet. Also, that our new home may as well, ‘kick ass’, when it comes to having fun.
Of course such a mammoth undertaking would require enormous amounts of funding, hence the need for massive sales once our first album is released. But if we pulled it off, we would have helped save humankind and life would be incredibly jolly.
Of course if our intent is to save humankind then, like in any society there would have to be guidelines about behaviour and such. Let’s be honest, if your aim is to set up an eclectic Shangri-La where anything is possible, you don’t want any bad apples coming along and ruining it.
The main rule on planet Bubble is that you do no harm to another individual. (Unless they have specifically asked you to, "nudged nudged, wink wink".) You also need to embrace purpleness. ..
So there you have it. Want to go there yet?
