Paice Ashton Lord was a shortlived British rock band featuring Deep Purple band members Ian Paice and Jon Lord with singer Tony Ashton. The band was formed in 1976, released its only album in 1977 and broke up in 1978. After Deep Purple broke up in 1976, drummer Ian Paice and keyboard player Jon Lord created a new band, Paice Ashton Lord, with friend Tony Ashton, a British keyboardist and singer of Ashton, Gardner and Dyke. After extensive auditions they chose Bernie Marsden to play electric guitar and Paul Martinez as the band s bassist. Tony Ashton had previously previously played with Lord on the 1974 album First of the Big Bands and on Lord s Gemini Suite project in 1971, singing lead vocals on one track. He collaborated on Lord s solo work and Deep Purple bassist Roger Glover s solo projects.
