Shades of Purple — The Deep Purple Tribute Band

Atlantis Basel
Saturday, 15 February
21:00

As the first real Swiss Deep Purple tribute band, Shades of Purple have been conquering concert venues at home and abroad since 2008. No matter on which stage the guys celebrate their sweaty tribute set, they leave behind an enthusiastic and happy audience! Just like the original, the band from the greater Basel region has passionate musicians in their line-up who bring their shows to life in a very authentic musical style reminiscent of the great role model. This is because, in addition to their fantastic musicality, the band places great value on playing original instruments and amplifiers from the glory days of the 60s and 70s, such as the legendary, screaming Hammond B3 (this 200 kg piece is taken to every show without exception!), the Ludwig drum set in Silver Sparkling, Rickenbacker basses, and of course the Fender Stratocaster Ritchie Blackmore Signature. It doesn't get more authentic than this!
If you want to experience the feeling from that time up close again, the time when rock music was still young, fresh and wild, a Shades of Purple show is a "must" for you. With unprecedented musical authenticity, the five exceptional musicians bring blockbusters such as "Smoke On The Water," "Black Night," "Child In Time," "Woman From Tokyo," or smash hits such as "Burn," "A Gypsy's Kiss," "Speed King," and "Highway Star," to name just a few. But one or two lesser-known B-side tracks from the Deep Purple universe from 1967 to 1984 also regularly find their way into the Shades of Purple set list. Thus, even fans who are very familiar with the original set also get their money's worth and keep discovering one or two lesser-known song gems.
Tickets are CHF 30 in advance and CHF 35 at the door; CHF 5 discount for students.
