Darker Than Blue RSS- SSTCThe ultimate Whitesnake collectable? One of the classic rock sites has reported David Coverdale’s Incline Village home up for sale for a few dollars short of $10,000,000. Sale is being handled by Chase International (motto “If you need to ask the price you cannot afford it”), but when I went to check their website out […]
- Rare breedI’ve no idea what to make of this, but it’s on the iTunes website as a five minute download available from April 26th, so make sure you have 99pence in your Apple account ready! Though I suspect anyone hoping for an awesome remix off the first album is going to be disappointed. And why had […]
- Dance ComingPaice Ashton Lord‘s only studio album Malice In Wonderland is getting reissued by Ear / Edel soon. The music includes the original album and eight bonus tracks from the abandoned follow-up sessions. At the time of the old Purple Records CD edition back in 2001 this was long thought lost, but chatting with Sandra Ashton […]
- Christmas marketsThe dates we mentioned the other day are firming up. Here are the shows confirmed so far (and one of the flyers) if anyone fancies a family visit to a pre-Christmas market (“oh look, Deep Purple are playing in town love, what a coincidence…”). Thanks to Tim Summers for the info, complete with links to […]
- The bus now waitingDeep Purple are having a bit of a break from hurtling this year but have booked in some shows in Eastern Europe for December 2019. Sofia, Budapest, Klagenfurt and Ostrava (on the 4th) so far with more to follow. Thanks to Tim Summers for the heads up. Sorry, am I allowed to even write the word […]
- Record Store Day 2019A bit of an uninspiring selection on the Deep Purple front again this year for Record Store Day it has to be said, with only three offerings appearing on April 13th. Demon are doing Gillan’s Mr. Universe, the pretext being to mark the 40th Anniversary of the album (which just makes us all feel old!). […]
- Bernie TorméSad to learn that Bernie Tormé has lost his battle with Pneumonia. He died on Sunday 17th. Bernie of course featured in arguably the classic Gillan era, and cut the albums Mr. Universe, Glory Road and Future Shock (both of which were top three releases) and sneaked onto a bit of Double Trouble. Few who […]
- Hellboy, meet Ritchie Blackmore…A big fan of the first two Hellboy films, once the creative team were dropped for the third film (shot in London and due here in April) and Ron Perlman turned it down, it’s hard to know if it can recapture the spirit. Still, the second trailer rocks with a clever update of Smoke On […]
- Rock, meet ClassicHere’s the flyer for the Rock Meets Classic event in Switzerland this week, sent by Denis Zuercher. The concept is celebrating a tenth anniversary this year, and while I’ve not checked back IG must have done a fair few of them!
- Concerto fiftyMarc van der Velden tells us that on Saturday 23rd February Jon’s Concerto For Group & Orchestra (fifty years old this year, see photo below!) was performed in the Markant, Uden (Netherlands). “It was a unique concert experience, performed by the renowned 110-strong orchestra of the Royal Harmony Sainte Cécile and The Group. After The Group […]
