Garage rock, R&B
The Purple Helmets was a side project, playing 60's Garage and R&B tunes. In the line-up was: J.J. Burnel, Dave Greenfield, (both from The Stranglers) John Ellis (then from The Vibrators, later in The Stranglers), Alex Gifford (a member of The Stranglers horn-section) and Manny Elias (drummer with Tears for Fears). The band was ostensibly put together so that JJ and Dave could do some gigging between Stranglers projects.
