Purple Planet Music is owned and operated by Chris Martyn, Geoff Harvey and Mark Fildes. We work out of Leeds and Manchester in the north of England. Chris and Geoff have worked together for almost 25 years – mostly in alternative, sometimes very alternative, rock music. We wouldn't be happy being on a tour as musicians where we had to play the same material every night. The fact that we can be doing a thrash metal track one moment and then a pre-school kids piece the next, and never need to play it again, just seems to suit us.

Our musical likes include rock artists such as the Beatles. Neil Young, Frank Zappa, King Crimson and Lou Reed. Film soundtracks, jazz, funk and cheesy pop also feature heavily in our "sound world". After a heavy recording session (frequently disrupted by 'Fur', Chris's personality disordered cat) we always try to blob out to South Park or Curb Your Enthusiasm before heading off to our favoured post-session hangout, Abids curry house, in the Stanningley area of West Leeds, where we can frequently be found moaning about some major issue of the day.
