Alabama 3 confirmed for October 14th
They have been called, amongst
other things, "the best live band in Britain." Their music
has graced everything from The Sopranos to The Simpsons, and celebrity
fans include Irvine Welsh and the world's biggest selling author, Stephen
King.
They are undoubtedly the greatest American act the UK ever did produce,
and their heady combination of techno and C&W, alongside a proclivity
for rock 'n' roll decadence and an acute social conscience means that
they are effectively a unique entity in modern music.
