One of the co-founders of the band, Jamie had been singing with Cameron Dempsey's industrial project C.I.D. prior to the formation of Purple Jesus. He had previously been a member of several "bands" that included Jeff Kraneyk, Ian Blythin and John Matthews - KAOS, Saigon Rose, Sensual Toys - none of which even made it to the jam stage. Jamie wrote all the lyrics for Purple Jesus' songs, working alongside chief songwriters Jeff Kraneyk, Cameron Dempsey and Jeff Rosiana. He also worked with Rosiana and Dempsey in the industrial side project Who Killed The Cat? during his time with Purple Jesus. Following the demise of Purple Jesus, Greer and Dempsey would once again reunite as the experimental acoustic act The Lollipop Guild in Windsor, Ontario. This lasted a few months before Greer joined the glam-punk band TOAST. TOAST broke up in 1998 and in 2000 he formed the Trailer Park Sex Cowboys. The Cowboys lasted another 2 years before the dissolving in 2002. From 2002 until late 2004, he toiled in the alt. country/folk band The Hung Jury.

When John Matthews was replaced, no other option seemed realistic except for Darren Ward. Darren had a reputation as one of the area's strongest drummers and he was still so young! He had years of experience playing all forms of music. He had just parted ways with his Van Halen tribute band, Fair Warning, when the boys in Purple Jesus asked him to sit behind the kit for a special one off show. That one off show turned into a two year ride. Following the demise of Purple Jesus, Darren would go on to form SLAB with Jeff Rosiana, Andrew Lauzon and Drew Hallenbeck. Following a successful indie run with SLAB, Darren retired from the music scene in 1998. It wouldn't be until 2003 that he would return to the music world, taking up the sticks in the Niagara Falls area band Vegalite.

Jonesy had been a mutual friend of most of the guys in the band prior to joining. He had played in several local metal bands and was looking for a new gig when Cameron left Purple Jesus for school. No one else was really considered nor auditioned and Jonesy was soon brought on board as Cameron's replacement. It was shortly after he joined that they decided to change their musical direction, from a Spinal Tap-esque humourous rock and roll band to a serious alternative rock act. He didn't join the band on their 10-month sabbatical to Halifax (where they went under the name Her Idiot Sister) but upon their return to Niagara Falls (and short lived name change to Horrorshow) he rejoined them until their demise a few weeks later. His current whereabouts are unknown.

When the boys decided to add live drums for the recording of their second block of songs, they turned to John Matthews. John was a long time friend of the guys in the band and had experience playing with Ian and Kraneyk in the classic rock band Moulton Station. He played with Purple Jesus for a few short months before being replaced by Darren Ward. Matthews almost made a return to the band in late summer of 1992 when tensions between Darren Ward and the rest of the band ensued, even jamming and recording on several new songs, but ultimately the promblems were worked out and Ward remained an integral part of Purple Jesus. He has since left the music business.

This photo was the closest the band ever got to reuniting following their break-up in 1994. When the band dissolved, tensions amongst it's members where high. They barely spoke to each other for months, for some it was years. One night in 1997, when Jamie returned to Niagara Falls to visit from Windsor, he called up Kraneyk, Darren and Rosiana and they went out for a few drinks to patch up old wounds and think back on the good times they all had as Purple Jesus. The legend will never die to those who remember those days...
