Purple Ivy Shadows
(United States)
purple ivy shadows were formed in september 1991 by chris daltry and andrew nimmo who had previously played together in a richmond, virginia band called dream of day with ian schlein (Musical Chairs) and the band name purple ivy shadows actually comes from a dream of day song of that title. chris daltry and andy nimmo soon began playing with erik carlson in charlottesville, virginia as purple ivy shadows, and later added bassist john hong. the quartet moved to nyc together in early 1992 and soon became part of the new england indie pop scene, leading to 7" releases with my pal god and spinart records, as well as a uk-only 12" release on the watercolour label. some of these songs were recorded in providence, rhode island by david auchenbach of small factory. purple ivy shadows also played the 1992 providence indie pop festival along with all the great bands of the era. in 1993 bassist john hong and drummer andy nimmo both left the band to return to uva for graduate school - but daltry and carlson kept the band alive and soon relocated to providence where they continued to play with a somewhat revolving lineup until finally calling it quits in 2002 after releasing 4 full-length records (slow river/ryko, krave, handsome, dark beloved cloud), 2 ep's (watercolour, slow river/ryko), several 7" singles (my pal god, spinart, zero hour) and appeared on countless compilations worldwide. chris daltry now heads a band called the 'mericans and erik carlson performs and records as area c (both still based out of providence, rhode island).
