There is a terrific cover band out in Italy which also happens to be an all-girl band. They are fittingly called Strange Kind of Women.

Ian Paice did a guest gig with them in March 2019 and now is giving them a shoutout on his DrumTribe channel:

Strange Kind of Women are:

Alteria – vocals
Eliana Cargneluttie – guitars
Paola Zadra – bass
Margherita Gruden – keyboards
Paola Caridi – drums

Check out their complete show from July 20th 2019 at Haus Eifgen Wermelskirchen in Germany streaming here. And support the musicians.

Thanks to andreas leutgeb for the heads up. Photo: Aleksandra Pruenner.

    Ian Gillan lives and she is Italian.
    And she can do DC.
    The others all have the chops too.

    I have been following these amazing ladies for over a year now. They are without doubt the best thing to happen in the Deep Purple universe for a long, long time. I cant wait to see them live. Hope they come to the UK next year 🙂

    absolutely awesome…what does it say when an all female tribute band mostly 40 years younger than most of dp is inspired to play their music… So happy to know that their music is touching people the same way it did for me so many years ago

    Just found out about this band, Holy Moses, they kick ass. Check out Black Sabbitch and the Iron Maidens….all of them kill the “boy’s club” mentality

    Hello from France,

    to duplicate Deep Purple would be quite a job ! SKOW have the good idea to make the songs theirs. they give it a new wind, twist, light (call it what you want) that makes you…search for the next video !
    the 5 musicians are very good and dynamic, giving a breath of fresh air to their live show : bravo !
    note : I do recommand the albums made by Eliana Cargnelutti : they groove !
