Deep Purple. A band that began in 1968 and continues to this day. Their music is legendary, their albums multi-million sellers, their tours always sold-out. To see Purple in concert is always an unforgettable experience, with all of the various line-ups having their own unique appeal. Some say that if you were fortunate enough to see the band in the classic 'Mark II' guise then you were very lucky indeed! However with the introduction of Steve Morse to the band in 1994 the dynamic of the band changed to be the iconic  band most of us have experienced live over the last 25 years or so.
Picture
'Perfect Strangers', named after Deep Purple's legendary multi-platinum reunion album from 1984, is a Cumbrian based Deep Purple tribute band that can take you right back to Made In Japan! Back to those amazing, raw and exciting versions of the iconic songs that made Deep Purple the legend that it is. But Perfect Strangers is not just confined to one era of Purple's legacy... Come to a gig and you may find yourself in the crowd at The Budokan during the recording of Made In Japan from 1972, or in California for Nobody's Perfect in 1988, or the Birmingham NEC for Come Hell or High Water in 1993, Live at Olympia 1996, Perihelion 2002, or many of the live albums that have been released over the last 5 decades...
Based on the Gillan fronted Deep Purple, Perfect Strangers is an authentic sounding tribute, featuring  guitar, Hammond organ and a scream! Those three ingredients are vital for a mix of classic Deep Purple and, together with a tight bass and drums rhythm section, this band can recreate everything from a raw 1969 version of 'Speed King' to a 2017  released 'Johnny's Band', and everything in between! Yes- this band covers ALL the Gillan years. Although formed initially as predominantly a Mark II tribute, the inclusion of  Steve Morse era tracks makes this Deep Purple tribute band quite unique: you'll get to hear songs from their 1968 beginnings right up to the present line-up's new album. There is no other Deep Purple tribute band like it!
