The Purple Helmets

Biography

The Stranglers side-project.

The Purple Helmets is an ad hoc band, playing 1960s R and B numbers. The recording line-up was: Jean-Jacques Burnel, Dave Greenfield, John Ellis, Alex Gifford (a member of the Stranglers horn-section) and Manny Elias (drummer with Tears For Fears). The band was ostensibly put together (from an earlier incarnation) so that JJ and Dave could do some gigging between Stranglers projects. Read more on Last.fm.
