Alongside Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, Deep Purple are considered to be one of the pioneers of heavy metal and hard rock. Formed in 1968, the band still remains one of the hardest touring rock acts on the road almost as well known for its frequent changes of line-up as for its music. Deep Purple’s current line-up comprises of members: Don Airy, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Steve Morse and Ian Paice.

Securing US and European success in the late 1960’s the band mastered its signature rock sound with extensive touring and song writing on the road. Recording albums at a prolific rate, it wasn’t until 1971 that the band recorded (arguably) its most enduring album Machine Head including tracks that became live classics such as “Highway Star”, “Space Truckin’”, “Lazy” and “Smoke on the Water”. The album was due to be recorded at a casino in Montreux, using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, but a fire during a Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention gig burned down the casino. The album was actually recorded at the nearby empty Grand Hotel. This incident famously inspired the song “Smoke on the Water”. In 1972 the band undertook four North America tours and the August tour of Japan that led to a double-vinyl live release, Made in Japan. Originally intended as a Japan-only record, its worldwide release saw the double LP become an instant smash hit. The album continues to be one of rock music’s most popular and highest selling live-concert recordings.

Now with 18 albums to its credit, Deep Purple continue to record and garner success. Most recently 2005’s album Rapture of the Deep secured US and European chart success, once again delighting fans old and new. New recordings are eagerly awaited.
