Purdy was also a member of Dallas alternative band Slowpoke and appears on their LP
Madchen (Grass Records) and their
Ice Minus (Direct Hit) 7-inch vinyl release. In 1994, he formed and fronted Texas
power pop band Girl (not to be confused with
the English band of the same name) with cousin Herman Suede and Jared Young. Nope's album and demos brought them back to Lloyd's attention. Lloyd produced their 2004 album
Competition at his
NYC studio. The album proved to be their final work. After years of regional touring and numerous dates in New York and the eastern seaboard, the band broke up in 2006.
Competition was never released despite generating numerous offers. In 2023, Purdy released three albums digitally via Contrampo Records- The Death of Richey, Fever Down, and 2nd Class Wolf. In 2024 he continued with Face the Muzak. All released under his name, Christopher Purdy, and another promised for 2025. ==References==
