   About Purr Machine
Welcome
MySpace


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting NEW CD STARRY AVAILABLE NOW! Click the button above to take you to our site! Purr Machine is a hybrid of alternative rock, gothic, bohemian, ethereal and electronica inflences, they hope the listener will be engulfed by the sound, not unlike some kind of drug to take away the pain, or perhaps establish it deep within.

The history of Purr Machine started with the release of “Ging Ging” in 1999, followed by the “Speak Clearly” remix and since then, have participated in various compilations. Now they have an upcoming full length cd called “Starry” which promises to be a very heavy experience, an intoxicating cornucopia of catchy melodies, driving rhythms, and the band’s trademark lyrical style. Some of the musical contributions on "Starry" consist of drums on several songs by Chris Vrenna, of Tweaker/NIN fame, and guitars on the song "Sister" by William Faith of "Faith and the Muse". Statik from Collide did some loop treatments on the song "Sad Im Gone". Guitarist, Kirk Hellie of Pink Noise Test, who also contributed his unique sound to "Ging Ging" also plays throughout "Starry". Byron Brown of "Mercurine" also plays guitar on "Starry" and he and Kirk have played with Purr Machine live on stage.

Like previous Purr Machine releases, Starry resists pigeonholing into any one genre, Bringing freshness to subject matter as cliched as love, loss, sadness and hope isn’t easy, but the songwriting team of frontwoman Betsy Martin (formerly of Caterwaul) and musician Kevin Kipnis (former Bassist of seminal goth rockers Kommunity FK) self-describe their sound as "snuggling under an electric blanket submerged in water". A Purr Machine song can sometimes be like a conversation with an old friend - there’s an unspoken, direct, natural familiarity that draws you in without hesitation. Kevin’s musicianship is first-rate, painting an irresistible sonic landscape, combined with the incomparable voice of Betsy Martin. Every thought and feeling is fully realized, every emotion clarified in her unique, distinctive croon. Siren and seductress, friend and confidante, she can whisper in your ear, or pull you to your feet and shake you. Once you are engulfed in the Purr Machine sound, you’ll never forget it.

You are never given a wish without also
being given the power to make it come true!


Thanks for adding me as a friend. Embrace the beauty that is you.






The earth turns on its orbit for you.

The oceans ebb and flow for you.

The birds sing for you. The sun rises and it sets for you.

The stars come out for you.

Every beautiful thing you see,
every wondrous thing you experience,
is all there for you.

Take a look around. None of it can exist, without you.

No matter who you thought you were,
now you know the Truth of Who You Really Are.

You are the master of the Universe.

You are the heir to the kingdom.

You are the perfection of Life.

May the joy be with you.

Hello. Sorry if this looks like spam.

Having released a couple of tuneful albums with theAudiologist and Soni Jimm since my last LP, "Fear of Mathematics", Section 27 Netlabel brings you "Wrpdata”, containing 14 tracks full of chunky, breathy and some would even say pleasantly broken breaks, some good-time-mind-fuck glitch, a few (thankfully blissful) orchestrated mixes featuring the talents of Pinklogik and theAudiologist (also acting as co-producer on this release) respectively, and ends sweetly with some beautiful spoken word poetry by the lovely aussie Cindel Waddington.

A delight on the sensory organs from start to finish, "Wrpdata" is available now for *free* download. Licensed by Creative Commons.

Have some.
