Introduction
Deep Purple is a british rock band that pioneered hard rock in the late 60's (and still, as of 2009, exists) and also was one of the first bands incoorporating classical music in the sound of rock. The band had several setups known as Mark I, Mark II etc. It is no doubth that Deep Purple was one of the most influential bands of the seventies, and has inspired generations of musicians/bands in the genre of hard rock/heavy metal.
The Beginning
The Embryo of Deep Purple was from the very beginning an idea from The Searchers former drummer Chris Curtis. A psychedelic trend was around since Beatles Sgt. Pepper album and Jimi Hendrix's "Are You experienced?" -album. The project was first named "the Roundabout" and was supposed to follow the psychedelic trend. The first setup consisted of the brothers Chris & Dave Curtis (on vocals), Jon Lord on the Keys, Ritchie Blackmore on guitar, Nick Simper on bass and Bobby Woodman on drums. Both Blackmore and Lord were living in Hamburg at that time, and were working as session musicians. Lord had a minor succes from playing piano on the Kinks "You really got me", but otherwise none of the members had made any fame. Ritchie Blackmore was not happy with the psychedelic genre, and made more or less the two brothers leave the band before its even had started to rehearse seriously.
The Roundabouts had setup a rehearsing session in Denmark, and since the brothers left, they were holding new auditions for the vacancies. A lot of singers were auditioning, amongst them were even Rod Stewart. Finally Rod Evans got the job. Ian Paice, who were visiting the audition as a friend of Rod's not knowing that a drummer also was needed was hired as well. (both were members of a british band, M.I.5/The Maze, and Bobby Woodman had left by then)
When discussion the bands name during the rehearsals in Denmark, all was agreed to that "The Roundabouts" was kind of silly, and another name has to be found. "Fire" was on the line, but since another band already took that, Ritchie Blackmore suggested "Deep Purple" from a soul song by Nino Tempo/April Stevens. The other members was not so excited over the name, but Ritchie was persistent and on their first gig in Denmark it was Deep Purple. (even that they were announced as the Roundabouts)
