As Far As I Can Tell

Purple Dave

Miles is guest blogging over at The Unicorn’s Tear and related some stories about Purple Dave. He’s as close to a local icon as we have, and while no Shakey Jake, he’s a well known figure around town. An illustration of him even made it on the cover of the latest Kalamazoo Compilation, which features his new band, Purple Dave & Ugly Decibel Ride.

The last time I talked to Dave he told me a long story involving lots of personal information I’d rather not have heard and how his all-time favorite drinking spot is down by the railroad tracks behind Munchie Mart.

Wait. Let me get this straight. He has an album?

No — he just has a single track on that compilation of different bands. He is on the cover though.

Having covered many bands at Club Soda in Kalamazoo, I’ve met Purple Dave many times, I have some pictures of him and his band on my site http://www.getmadbaby.com/purple_dave.htm http://www.getmadbaby.com/purple_dave_ugly_decible_ride.htm

Hey Simon! I had a Purple Dave tape featured on 365 days (http://www.ubu.com/outsiders/365/11-1.html) scroll down to November 11 It’s the creepiest one I’ve got from him.
