Alabama 3 - Life after death

[spitfire]

So I thought I'd start a new thread about the band and related news. Seems a shame to keep dragging up the RIP Jake Black thread as they are carrying on and more power to their elbows too!

Link: RIP Jake (Reverend D Wayne Love) John Black from Alabama 3

Radio 4 feature on the future of the band and the way they have dealt with the loss of Jake.

editor's review and pics from Brixton.

In photos: Alabama 3’s triumphant Christmas homecoming at the Brixton Academy, Sat 21st Dec 2019

Brixton came out in force last night to watch the return of local heroes, the Alabama 3, who played a fantastic set in front of a rapturous crowd.

And yes I saw other threads but they're all ancient and half the posters have disappeared one way or the other.

Well this is interesting:

The resume of Nick Reynolds has many fascinating facets—son of the mastermind of The Great Train Robbery, abstract artist, maker of death masks of Malcolm McLaren, Peter O’Toole, and his bandmate (from Alabama 3) Jake Black, maker of life masks of Mick Jones and Grace Jones, member of the legendary Pretty Things, technician for Pink Floyd, Falklands War veteran, hero of Sopranos fan conventions, maker of films (including docs on Brian Jones and Sid & Nancy)…What hasn’t he done?

In addition to Jake Black’s death mask, Reynolds has created death masks of Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren and his own father, Bruce Reynolds, the ringleader of 1963’s Great Train Robbery in England. In making his contemporary versions, Reynolds is keeping alive (so to speak) a several-hundred-year-old tradition.

He was in a band called Octopus and I went out with them to a party once. It was a good party.

New single, I like it, lovely 303 running through it. Bit more upbeat than a lot of their recent stuff.

I have 2 tickets for tonight (18th) at Jamm.

Preference goes to:
1) posting regularity
2) commitment to make a contribution to the server fund

New album is out.

First single Whacked was good IMO and also had a decent remix from local boys Shameless.

Cover of a Pete Dunne tune I believe.

Larry Love/ Rob turned 60 today. Which is a minor miracle in itself.

Happy birthday Rob.
