Purple Knight is Mark Gaudet (drummer for Eric's Trip) and Raynald LeBlanc (??). They formed a rock band in 1974, the named is a play on Deep Purple's song Black Knight. They have broken up rejoined broke up rejoined many times since then. Mark is actually close to 30 years old. I saw an interview with Julie and she said that E.T. was really happy when they "got" Mark, because he was the best drummer around. The band started when he was around 10 years old (listen to the lyrics, they're pretty simple). Mark is on drums and Raynald is on guitar. They are really pretty fast compared to Trip.
