Alabama 3 to celebrate 'Exile on Coldharbour Lane’ and ‘La Peste’ albums in Northampton

The acclaimed band will bring their UK tour to a close at the Roadmender on Saturday, April 5, after more than a dozen shows across the UK.

In December, Alabama 3 marked the 25th anniversary of their track ‘Woke Up This Morning’ which soundtracked hit TV series The Sopranos with gigs across the UK and now they’re about to set off on another tour.

Frontman Larry Love said: “Our ‘Exile On Coldharbour Lane’ tour plans were rudely and aptly interrupted by ‘La Peste’ (The Plague) itself – AKA the recent covid pandemic.

“We are giving the brothers and sisters space to congregate and celebrate both albums, especially now Devlin Love is back to make them even more of an event.”

Since forming in Brixton in the mid 1990s, Alabama 3 have been known for their eclectic fusion of blues rock, acid house and electronics.

While 1997’s ‘Exile On Coldharbour Lane’ was the album which launched their songs into the hands of David Chase, the producer of The Sopranos, 2000’s ‘La Peste’ was no stranger to having songs being featured in major films and series.

‘Too Sick To Pray’ featured on Gone In Sixty Seconds and also on the TV series Being Human.

‘La Peste’ also features the hugely popular The Sopranos mix of ‘Woke Up This Morning’.

‘Sad Eyed Lady of The Lowlife’, also features on The Sopranos and ‘Mansion on The Hill’ on 3000 Miles To Graceland.

Alabama 3 will be joined on the road by a rotating cast of special guests, including Frank Harvey Music, Body Horror, and Forgotten Pharaohs.

As well as the two albums, the band will be playing a selection of their other biggest hits.
