The Wave Pictures

When the Purple Emperor Spread The Wave Pictures Limited edition

The Wave Pictures, industrious and prolific as ever, return with their new double album When The Purple Emperor Spreads His Wings. Formed over twenty years ago by Franic Rozycki and David Tattersall in Wymeswold, Leicestershire, and joined by Jonny 'Hudderfield' Helm since 2005, The Wave Pictures have released over twenty albums of their own, along with exciting side projects such as garage rock supergroup The Surfing Magazines, several albums with Stanley Brinks, and Dave's recent guitar contributions to Billy Childish albums, with whom they also collaborated on their 2014 album 'Great Big Flamingo Burning Moon'. Across these varied releases, accommodating Dave's free flowing fountain of songwriting, The Wave Pictures have shown their deep affection for rock and roll, blues, jazz, classic rock, and of course Dave's legendary love of good guitar solo.
