"When I walked into that bar and heard Deep Purple being played, and so well, I thought I'd died and actually gone to heaven, I couldn't believe I was hearing it. There are loads of us out there that scream for those retro rock sounds. Your band does them justice and you really know how to play. That was real class and thank you for making my night. To anyone that reads this I recommend you, and I mean I seriously recommend this band. Best EVER."
