DP have also done a great lounge version (or ‘tres jazz’) of Smoke on French TV, here’s the link. You can skip to 5.40 if you don’t understand the preamble! Thanks to Tim Summers.

Snippets

Details of the Deep Purple Vincent Price single release have been confirmed. There is a 7″ vinyl edition in a pic sleeve (sadly NOT featuring the dancing nun!) and a 5″ CD. Both formats include the non album cut First Sign Of Madness. The CD also has the promo video for the single which we’ve […]

Pole dancing nuns.

In answer to a few emails, the bonus Now What track It’ll Be Me is a track IG has covered before, back in 1994 on the Javelins CD. Interesting to do a then and now comparison. Less interesting to realise we did that project twenty years ago now… For those wanting a look at the […]

Untitled

Gillan and Paice looked relaxed on the Later with… TV show on Tuesday evening. Jools Holland banged on about the album sleeve for a bit and then (for some reason) asked IG how dressing room riders had changed over the years? This prompted a nice (but barely audible) IG riff about asking for a rhino […]

We’re only here for the beer.

Nottingham’s Castle Rock Brewery are producing beers to celebrate famous folks born in the city, and have announced a limited edition “Ian Paice Nottinghamian Celebration Ale” available in local pubs through to the end of June. I’m not sure if this will be bottled at all. Most of these breweries just make such limited edition […]

Later… with Ian Gillan

Gillan and Paice are to be the studio interview guests on Later… with Jools Holland next week. It’s taken 42 series of the only music show left on the BBC for them to get round to mentioning Deep Purple! Fingers crossed it might open the doors for the band to play it live at a […]

Top of the Pops

“Now What?!” has been charting all over Europe, with the album sending Deep Purple straight to no.1 in Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic. After entering the Norwegian album charts at no.4 the album has climbed to no.1 in its second week of release. Elsewhere “Now What?!” entered the UK album charts at no.19 on 5th May, breaking into the top twenty for […]

Bernie Marsden talks

“LOOK AT ME NOW…” It was at Bristol’s Colston Hall in 2002 where Bernie Marsden bounded on stage with Deep Purple to rapturous applause. “Is that Ritchie Blackmore?” the twonk beside me shouted in my ear. “No, it’s Bernie Marsden!” I shouted back. “Is it?” The guy looked at me, looked at the stage, turned […]

Dancer And The Moon

Details, cover art and tracks for the new Blackmores Night album are out. There are more details on our Blackmore page, and details of pre-ordering for those who are interested. Track listing is on the DTB Online store. Filed under: Blackmores Night, Ritchie Blackmore

Here’s our new single

All The Time In The World has turned up in the band’s set-list, the rest is as normal. We’ve added the list to the tour dates page if you want to look. Thanks to Mike Richards. Filed under: Concert List, Deep Purple

Montreux WC2!

Updated again… Chris Carver reminds us that DP are playing Montreux on July 19th and the Harrods Jazz Cafe are screening highlights from that event in-store as well, while Charles Ashmore comments (below) that the ROH diary has a blank week from July 22nd. DP are in Italy until the 24th then have a few […]
