Purple Avengers

Purple Avengers was an Australian indie rock band from Brisbane, formed in 1990 by four school friends. Their first release was the single "When Will the World Stop Spinning Blues" in 1991, followed by their debut album Starlight's Journey Home in 1992. The band gained traction after signing with Phantom Records, who reissued Starlight's Journey Home. In the 1990s, Purple Avengers released two EPs: Emma Peel Sessions and Dragonfly, with the former named after TV icon Emma Peel from The Avengers and John Peel’s radio show. The band reformed in 2010 for a one-off show celebrating BUMS (Brisbane Underground Music Scene) 20th anniversary.
