Deep Purple 1975 (A Work in Progress) Documentary Film Trailer

Supergroup DEEP PURPLE is working on a documentary. For now, the film has a working title, "1975", and still can`t know details about the production. The trailer is now available on the band's official channel on YouTube, and can be seen below.

It is well known that the Woodstock and Altamont festivals in the late '60s were out of control. Bad, brown acid that brought on paralysing bad trips, and a mud bath for a venue that deteriorated into a sewer, are nothing on Deep Purple's tour of Jakarta in 1975. The band's visit - the first to the Indonesian capital by a western rock band - began with excitement, intrigue and a tank-led motorcade from the airport, but soon descended into intimidation, reneged contracts, mayhem, riots, guard dogs, sabotage, death and jail. Welcome to Deep Purple's Jakarta nightmare.....'1975' is the working title and the treatment for the film is currently being written with various production companies in discussion for the rights to this incredible story. Stay tuned through 2013 for updates!

Deep Purple Annouces New Album + Teaser Available

Eight years after the release of "Rapture Of The Deep", following many rumours later revealed to be unfounded, Deep Purple, one of the most important and influential British rock bands of all time, have confirmed the release of a new album completely made of new studio material.

After various songwriting sessions in Europe, the band recorded and mixed the album in Nashville with producer Bob Ezrin (in his impressive hit record: Pink Floyd's "The Wall", Alice Cooper and many others).

The album is rumoured to be the perfect match from the original spirit of 70s Purple, and a fresh and modern production. Ian Gillan has recently revealed a few working titles of songs, that might appear on the album: "Out Of Hands", "Uncommon Man" and "Hell to Pay".

Deep Purple's record company earMUSIC will reveal details about the new album in real time as soon as they will become available on a dedicated website where all band members will also be able to post and interact with the fans: www.deeppurple2013.com

"The title of our new album is still a question mark to all of us... We have recorded a new album, and it's a fantastic collection of songs. At the moment that's the only affirmative point we can offer..."

(Ian Gillan, December 2012)

"Smoke On The Water" Deep Purple

A letra da canção fala de uma história verdadeira: Em 4 de Dezembro de 1971, os Deep Purple foram a Montreaux na Suiça para gravar um álbum usando um estúdo de gravação móvel (alugado aos Rolling Stones, e conhecido como Rolling Stones Mobile Studios, chamado de"Rolling truck Stones thing" e "the mobile" na letra da música) no complexo de entretenimento que fazia parte do Casino de Montreux (de nome"the gambling house", "casa de apostas", na letra). Na véspera da sessão de gravação um espectáculo de Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention foi realizado no teatro do casino e durante o mesmo, um incêndio iniciou-se; no meio do solo de sintetizador de "King Kong", alguém na plateia disparou um sinalizador (flare gun) no tecto incendiando-o (o que é mencionado no verso "some stupid with a flare gun", "um idiota com um sinalizador"). O incêndio destruiu todo o complexo do casino juntamente com todo o equipamento dos Mothers. O "fumo na água" que se tornou o título da canção (creditado ao baixista Roger Glover) referia-se ao fumo vindo do fogo, que se espalhou pelo lago de Genebra (também conhecido como lago Léman) a partir do casino em chamas, enquanto os membros da banda assistiam do seu hotel do outro lado do lago.

Esta canção é conhecida e é reconhecida instantaneamente pelo seu tema central, uma melodia de quatro notas, numa escala de blues harmonizada em quartas paralelas.

Tive oportunidade de assistir ao vivo em 1999 no Coliseu do Porto ao concerto destes lendários dinossauros do Rock, na abertura estiveram os pioneiros do metal português (V.N.Gaia) "Tarântula" que tiveram o privilégio de pisar o palco com os Deep Purple, num concerto verdadeiramente espectacular, memorável e de grande profissionalismo.

Num espaço completamente cheio, o público em si, vibrou como nunca tinha visto, e deu com bem empregue o seu tempo e dinheiro. Fazem falta mais espectáculos destes.
