Cry Free - Deep Purple's Favourite Tribute
Cry Free is going really strong this April. The Hungarian Deep Purple Cover Band teamed up with drummer Bobby Rondinelli (Rainbow, Black Sabbath) earlier in the month to play a set of Rainbow songs to a capacity crowd at the Drummers' Festival of Győr, Hungary. Six days later they performed a 40-minute Purple set at the opening event of Division 1/A Ice Hockey World Cup in the biggest arena of the nation to another full house, this time comprising 9000(!) people.

"Stargazing" with Bobby:


The end of the month will bring some more excitement, as Cry Free having joined forces with Led Zeppelin tribute Zep Session in their special project Purple Zeppelin Jam are to tour abroad for the first time. This relatively new project of the band, which the guys proudly subtitle "The Ultimate Classic Rock Experience" has seen 5 performances so far, but all of them in their native Hungary. This Friday, however, the "Purple airship" is travelling to Germany to play two shows over the weekend. The first gig will take place at the nice little pub/restaurant/club of Klostergartenlaube in Lauffen am Neckar on 26 April 2013, and the second at the big festival of Veteranentreffen in Willofs the next day. Both concerts will feature a double set of Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin songs including all their biggest hits for the crowds and some rare ones for the hardcore fans, with the whole programme reaching up to three hours.

Here's what to expect:
