This night will feature a one-off heavier version of Kitchen’s Floor called Dirty Mattress – members from Blank Realm, Kitchen’s Floor, Loose Grip.
Per Purpose are made up of a few different bands around town: Glen – vox, guitar – (Kitchen’s Floor, ex-Marl Carx), Harry – bass guitar – (Loomer, Old Bag Lady (?)), Joe – drums – (Loose Grip, Bedroom Suck Records label). A logical step from ‘Carx for the frontman stripping away & moving from the confines of that DNA-comparison no-wave fucking adolescent art-punk seeya-at-the-next-houseshow attitude (though played well and great at the time it just couldn’t go anywhere) and guiding Purpose into a matured, tighter sound & a busied rhythm section no-filler approach whilst incorporating some better, weird thematic lyrics … it’s all just so much easier to, well, enjoy while outside of a dirty lounge room. People are getting into it now, a few dance to this discordant post’rs and others stand back with a smile & still nursing half a beer 25 minutes later.

I’ve got a live bootleg of one of Glen’s solo shows here – some songs overlap with this one obviously.
