Concert - Strange Kind of Women, tribute to Deep Purple

DEEP PURPLE is regarded by many as the most innovative and popular rock band of all time, but in recent years, an all-female Italian band has emerged, capable of recreating the magic of DEEP PURPLE every night! Eliana Cargnelutti, frontwoman and guitarist from Udine (near Venice), came up with the idea of forming an all-female DEEP PURPLE tribute band. She had a very clear idea of the musicians she needed to turn her passionate vision into a tangible, musical reality.


STRANGE KIND OF WOMEN, whose name is inspired by one of DEEP PURPLE’s most famous songs, made their stage debut in January 2019. Within just a few months, the band was already receiving enthusiastic requests for gigs from all over the world. The audience is of paramount importance to the band members, but spectacular professional recognition came as early as March 2019, when none other than Mr Ian Paice took to the stage to play live with them. Ian Paice is DEEP PURPLE’s legendary drummer and the last remaining founding member of the band. He was full of praise for STRANGE KIND OF WOMEN, saying: “It’s a real pleasure to play with them. They’re doing a brilliant job, have a fantastic sound and give it their all. I really loved playing alongside them.”
