The Mulberry Purple is a pulse-pounding, high-voltage rock band that throws all its inner energy in your face while it grips you with the intensity of their lyrics and melodic vocals. Its musical roots can be traced back to the border town of Juarez, Mexico, a city whose musical blend is as diverse and rich as its culture and people. Inspired by this background, the members of TMP have created a sound that merges the classic concept of straight up rock with their own musical roots into a fusion that is reminiscent of the heyday of rock. L.A. based members Blake Vaz (vocals) David Aguilar (guitar), Julio Cervantes (bass), and Pepe Clarke Magaña (drums), have successfully rocked local fans at renowned live show venues such as the Roxy, the Viper Room, the Knitting Factory and The Troubadour. Word of their crowd shaking performances has spread rapidly and each show the numbers only escalate. With the recording of their first EP, ...when the music fades, The Mulberry Purple was able to package the characteristic energy of their live shows into a product that has been successful in attracting many more to their powerful style, sound and music. Although you may initially be tempted to compare TMP to great bands that have ruled the world of rock, you will quickly discover this musical force is in an arena of its own. Using the precise mix of raw energy and defined musicianship that is characteristic of their sound and differentiates them from the rest, TMP released their new EP, The Auguries of Sound, on September of 2008 and are currently planning a national tour. In just its first weeks of release, The Auguries of Sound has been received with enthusiastic response from the public and many insiders in the business; prophesying a major shift in the music industry to come.
