It all started in the mid 70:s when a young boy named Lars Ericsson, in his native Ostersund in northern Sweden, picked up a copy of "BURN" .. The first album from the new line up of his favourite band Deep Purple. Some 30 years later he still cries when he listens to it. Yes, he is a geek, and so is the rest of MARK III .. the very tribute band who´s MySpace site you are currently surfing.The members have all been good friends since early childhood, and to go through all the musical connections between the six members of the band would be pretty much impossible! But they all share an unconditional love for that very album; "BURN", and the line up of Deep Purple generally called "Mark III". So it was unavoidable that in the fall of 2005, the six friends got together to fulfill an old dream. To celebrate the 30:th aniversary of the album "Burn" ( .. yes they were one year late .. stop picking on details!!) they put together "Mark III" for a one off show at their home town blues festival. There was no stopping them.With an explosive set list, concisting mainly of songs from the "BURN" album, spiced with some more classics from the original Deep Purple "Mark III" setlist, they had a night they will never forget. The band has since then only played one more show, all in the line of the members strong belief that this is music that they don´t want worn out. If they are to play a show, it has to be the right place at the right time. It will probably happen again in the not to distant future .. So now .. YOU! Run out and buy a copy of "BURN", .. then you buy a copy of the follow up album "STORMBRINGER" .. and then you buy every other Deep Purple album for that matter ....
Rock on!
