You probably know them as the singers of the Sopranos theme tune, but they’re also a band known for their fusion of styles, ironic lyrics and mad stage-shows. Here’s a quote from their website “We're the Alabama 3. We make Sweet Pretty Muthaf*ckin Country Acid House Music. All night long. We're not from Alabama, and there's not three of us. We're from Brixton...” Click here for tickets.
The members of the band have AKAs including The Very Reverend Dr. D. Wayne Love, Larry Love, Devlin Love, The Mountain of Love, Sir Eddie Real and LOVEPIPE. They very seriously don’t take things seriously. They’re called Alabama 3 mostly to avoid messy confusion with the country band ‘Alabama.’
A3’s own description will do them more justice than mine: Alabama 3 is a pop band, a punk rock, blues and country techno situationist crypto-Marxist-Leninist electro band. We never went on X Factor or Pop Idol or Stooge Quest. We did it the old fashioned way; Back in 1996, we threw a big old party, invited all our friends. We took a fistfull of blotters and half a dozen disco biscuits and then made it up as we went along. Geffen records bought it..! for a million dollars! We never needed a self-appointed quango of jaded vampires to tell us how to sing the blues...we got Mojo*. We have the power to raise the dead.”
