Paice Ashton Lord was a British rhythm and blues, funk-soul, rock band founded in 1977, after the break-up of the British band
Deep Purple in 1976. Ian Paice and Jon Lord, Deep Purple's drummer and keyboardist, joined Tony Ashton, a British keyboardist
and singer, for this project; the band was completed with Bernie Marsden on guitar and Paul Martinez on bass.
