Alabama 3 Tickets
Alabama 3 Tickets
Despite their name, Alabama 3 were founded in London in the mid 90s, and set out to promote their unique fusion of a variety of styles – from dance to gospel. They became recognised worldwide after one of their songs was featured as the title music to the hit television show ‘The Sopranos’.
The group are known for their iconic and unique live performances, and the fact that they perform under creative secret identities. Aliases include ‘The Mountain of Love’, ‘L. B. Dope’ and ‘LOVEPIPE’. They have been active for over 10 years and in the meantime have released six studio albums, reaching 80th position in the United Kingdom charts in 2000 with their hit album ‘La Peste’.
The band initially met with tough critical acclaim as they were dubbed a novelty band as a result of their failure to release anything of worth for quite a while, and their choice of initially naming the band the ‘First Presleyterian Church of Elvis the Divine’. Despite initial difficulties however, they managed to release a debut album that was well received by music critics and helped to establish them as a more serious outfit.
From the moderate success of their initial outing, Alabama 5 continued to release and promote albums, with the help of ‘The Sopranos’. The American television network HBO selected the song as the theme tune for this hit American gangster television show. The song was taken from the band’s debut album, ‘Exile on Coldharbour Lane’. It gained the band instant recognition as the show was extremely well received, and created a strong foothold for their future endeavours.
The band have an enigmatic image fuelled by sex and eccentricity, and have been commended both as the ‘best live band in the country’, and ‘a monumental waste as time’, as publicised on their website. Their online presence gushes with intrigue and sexuality; making reference to their unique offering, paying homage to Elvis and ultimately conveying the impression that the band members thoroughly enjoy what they do.
This same passion is evident in their music, and is what has kept them around for so long. With fond admiration from such prolific people such as Irvine Welsh and Stephen King amongst their cohort of fans, Alabama 3 show few signs of slowing down, and they can be expected to continue producing their signature blend of acid house and country music for many years to come.
