Deep Purple are back with new music!
That’s right the gods of Hard Rock have released the video for their new single “Arrogant Boy.” The first single from the band’s upcoming album, SPLAT!, which is scheduled to arrive on July 3, comes with a new video. Bob Ezrin produced the new album, which imagines the end of humanity as a metamorphosis. Deep Purple will hit the road for their SPLAT! World Tour, which includes 86 shows.
“‘Arrogant Boy’ is the story of Billy who couldn’t read or write.” Says Ian Gillen. “He is unhappy with things, so he speaks up, and finds a way of irritating, one way or another, the elite. And I can’t think of anything more fun than irritating the elite. It would be a joyous exercise for me every morning after coffee.”
Deep Purple's summer tour with Kansas and Jefferson Starship, kicks off on August 4 in Raleigh, North Carolina and goes till September 12 in Sparks, Nevada. Tickets go on sale Friday, with presale tickets on Wednesday.
