Caroline Sim and Brian Warrens Associates Ltd present Germany’s finest Deep Purple tribute band, ‘Purple’ for one UK date only
It all began in 1999 when the five musicians played Deep Purple covers in their purest form for the first time at the Gießen city festivalThey put on a sensational emotional concertA little later the band Purple was bornSince then, Purple has been a constant in the music scene and on Germany’s stages
Werner Eismann says, “My twin brother and drummer Michael Walter have been permanent members of the Softeis Band as well as Purple since that timeKeyboard player Armin Holten, and lead vocalist and frontman, Ronny Moucka joined my former band Master of Disaster in 1995
We asked Werner if the band had experienced performing with their heroes, Deep Purple
“Unfortunately, notGerhard and I met Roger Glover at his Vernissage in Cologne…We were due to support Deep Purple performing in our areaThis was already announced in the local mediaUnfortunately, Deep Purple had to cancel the concert.”
Deep Purple was made up of five strong individuals, how similar is Purple?
“We are five very different characters, just like Deep Purple, it feels like there’s an incredible number of similarities we have with themGerhard and I noticed that during our conversation with Roger GloverThe musical spirit and fun in the music of Deep Purple unite us into a common strength, which is particularly evident at our concertsWe don’t have a special stage showWe are simply authentic without any frills, Ronny would sayWe just hit that wild energy from Deep Purple and our fans feel it right away.”
Is there a favourite song out of their extensive back catalogue you particularly enjoy performing?
“Child in Time” because it is simply a work of the centuryVery challengingIt requires an incredible feeling for the subtlety of the tone sequencesThe secret is to get the feeling of the song and to convey it authenticallyI’m talking about the studio version of ” Deep Purple in Rock”It touches peopleThis basically applies to all songsIn addition, you not only have to be able to sing Ian Gillan’s vocals but also capture this highly emotional energy‘Lazy’ I love the interaction of the guitar and organAlso, a great intro by Jon Lord‘Strange kind of woman’ Ian Gillan and Ritchie Blackmore’s question and answer game at Made in Japan, is fantastic.“
You live and work in Germany, where have your fans been fortunate to see you perform live?
“We played with Purple at many big festivals in Germany and FranceOur biggest stage was the Jimmy Hendrix Festival on the island of FehmarnAbout 10,000 enthusiastic fans.”
UK fans will be able to catch your amazing performance at the Palace Theatre in Westcliff on Sea next AprilWhat are your hopes going forward for the Purple?
“After the Covid pandemic, our greatest wish is to be able to do many concerts with Purple on big stages againOf course, it would be fantastic to meet Deep Purple and give a concert together.”
