Get ready for an exhilarating live music experience this December as the legendary British band Alabama 3 takes the stage across the UK, including a highly anticipated show at SWG3 in Glasgow on December 4. Known for their genre-defying sound, Alabama 3 blends elements of country, acid house, gospel, electro, blues, and dub into their performances, creating a unique spectacle that has captured the hearts of fans for nearly 25 years.
Alabama 3’s live shows are legendary, marked by a sense of anarchic energy and theatricality that feels akin to a Pentecostal meeting set in a Manchester warehouse rave. Under the charismatic leadership of frontman Robert Spragg, also known as Larry Love, the band has maintained its position at the forefront of the music scene since their explosion into the limelight with the iconic track “Woke Up This Morning,” which served as the opening theme for HBO’s “The Sopranos.”
The band’s deep roots in the music industry are notable, stemming from memorable acid house-infused performances in Brixton that led to a record deal with Geffen Records and the release of their influential debut album, “Exile on Coldharbour Lane.” Over the years, Alabama 3 has built a fiercely loyal fanbase through relentless touring and unforgettable festival performances, including a standout appearance at Glastonbury that solidified their status as festival veterans.
In addition to their musical prowess, Alabama 3 is known for their commitment to activism and social justice, collaborating with organizations such as the RMT and the Miscarriages of Justice Organisation. Their current lineup features an eclectic mix of talented musicians, each contributing a distinctive flair to the band’s live energy. With members bringing a variety of influences and stage presence, audiences can expect a thrilling night filled with powerful vocals and satirical lyrics.
Closed by the spirit of former member Jake Black, who passed away in 2019, Alabama 3 continues to evolve while honoring their rich legacy. Their upcoming December tour promises to showcase their unpredictable and boundary-pushing artistry, offering a night of riotous beats, captivating theatrics, and infectious energy that fans have come to love.
