Nick Simper & Nasty Habits: Live At Szene Vienna (CD/DVD)
It is fair to say that Deep Purple MK 1 is not the line-up that is most cherished by the bands legion of global admirers. The three 1960's albums recorded by the quintet of Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, Ian Paice, Rod Evans and Nick Simper (Shades Of, Deep Purple and The Book Of Taliesyn) have long been neglected by subsequent incarnations and can really be considered a footnote when compared with what was to follow. After a long break from his Purple past, Austrian band Nasty Habits persuaded original Purple bassist Simper to join them in celebrating the bands forgotten era and this show from Vienna is offered as a combined CD/DVD package by Angel Air.
Very much a trip down memory lane the show revisits those early releases with the Nasty Habits band injecting some of their own touches, the energetic vocals of Christian Schmid and the guitar licks of Christian Heissenberger very much at the forefront. Simper, for his part, looks as if he is having tremendous fun as the band move through the likes of "Mandrake Root", "Wring That Neck" and the celebratory romp of "Hush".
Nasty Habits and Nick Simper are continuing to play occasional shows to mark the Deep Purple Mark 1 Songbook and a new album is also promised for the future. Check out Nick's excellent web site below for more information.
