about

We often talked about writing a rock based album, saying
"Our next album should be a rock album."
I guess you could say we started writing this album back in 2010.
We wrote "The Theme from The Dirigible", "If I Knew You Naked" and "Who Gives a Fuck Anyway?" originally for our 8th album, '1937'.
The funny thing there is, '1937' was going to be that rock album, but the experimental pieces severely outnumbered the rock songs in the end. So we scrapped the rock songs and I suppose they became the
b sides to '1937'.

After the Food Album we decided to write another noise album.
Probably because of the surprising success of our second
Halloween show, where we blasted harsh noise for half an hour at
(not to) a room full of metal heads and punks, while we tried to
perform a live surgery.
But we failed...
So we served body parts on platters that were handed around to the members of the audience by Harleyquin Z. Jones.
But of course in true PJBS fashion we got sidetracked and found ourselves discovering and working on some old bones.

We named this album Twelve because this is our 12th album as
Purple Johnson Blimp Situation and not because Black Sabbath named their album 13. Plus we thought of it before they did. In fact, if you consider the (The Cheese Dirigible's) PJBS EP as a
Purple Johnson album too, then this is our 13th record.
But we don't, so you shouldn't either.
Unless you're a completest, we don't wanna upset the completest.


Purple Johnson Blimp Situation are:
Captain Norwood Grimes
Captain Peter Because

PJBS began sometime in 2005 when Norwood Grimes and Peter Because sold their souls to Harlequin Z. Jones, just off the freeway at Murray Bridge. The rest, they say, is history.
