The Purrs

The alternative rock sounds of the Purrs features Jima (vocals/bass), Craig Keller (drums), Jason Milne (guitar), and Jason Atkin (guitar). The Seattle foursome came together after responding to the same classified ad, ultimately creating the Purrs in 2000. Over the next couple of years, while honing their post-punk-inspired sound, the Purrs became a constant fixture on the Pacific Northwest tour circuit. Their debut EP release, No Particular Bar, No Particular Town arrived in 2004. KEXP quickly took a liking to the band's jangly rock sound, adding their independent full-length LP The Dreams Our Stuff Is Made Of (2005) to their regular rotation. A year later, two EP cuts and seven album tracks were remixed and remastered for their self-titled full-length LP for Sarathan. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
