‘This is a outstanding band with an amazing Guitar player, very special, a must see for every Deep Purple fan, nearest thing to Deep Purple itself. You’r going to love them’ – Ian Paice on Purpendicular after the tour in December 2008.



Deep Purple have always been regarded as the most creative and most successful hard rock bands of all time. The music is created through brilliant musicianship, with a simplicity that made classics such as Child In Time, Black Night, Smoke On The Water, Woman From Tokyo and Hush to name but a few. The Band ‘Purpendicular’ voted by Ian Paice and Nürnberger nachrichten German newspaper as the best Deep Purple Tribute worldwide, can boast a vast amount of experience in recreating that magic that Deep Purple made famous throughout the 1970s to this present day, and are one of the only Deep Purple Tribute bands to master this. Purpendicular bring their professional Tribute show on the road with young virtuoso Guitar player Joe ‘Dr’ Dolbhofer (25). Every musician in ‘Purpendicular’ has been carefully chosen for his technique in recreating the sound and style of every Deep Purple performance whether it be the Ritchie Blackmore ,Tommy Bolin or Steve Morse era, and further more every musician is a true fan of Deep Purple.



On three occasions has vocalist Robby Thomas Walsh fronted Ian Paice (the legendary original Deep Purple drummer) throughout European tours as well as keyboard player Stoffi Kögler who has played with Ian Paice in 2002, as well as tours in Ireland, Holland, Austria, Croatia & Germany. Improvisation is a must when recreating Deep Purples live material. ‘Purpendicular’ ensures their audience that every musician in the band thrives on improvisation regardless of the set list being played. So each night the audience gets a different show even if the set list remains the same.



Every member in ‘Purpendicular’ is a fully professional musician. All have played at International level and can guarantee a pure authentic fascinating Deep Purple show for all fans young and old. It is no wonder that the legendary drummer of Deep Purple Ian Paice chooses Purpendicular as his band when he goes on tour outside Deep Purple.

Purpendicular will again be with Ian Paice as his band in 2009. ‘these guys are really special and if time allows i would love to go out on the road with them very soon’- Ian Paice of Deep Purple
