One of this year’s most talked-about acts come to London in mid-November as part of an extensive European tour which also takes in other legendary rock venues such as La Cigale in Paris and the Glasgow Barrowlands.
Alabama Shakes, a blues-rock four-piece fronted by the throaty, full-voiced former postwoman Brittany Howard, combines horns and jazz sensibilities with classic rock patterns and instruments.
A real taste of the American south, and a band whose debut album Boys & Girls has garnered plenty of fans, including fellow musician Bon Iver.The four-piece come to Kentish Town ‘s HMV Forum on November 17th, playing another exclusive date at Elephant and Castle’s The Coronet theatre the night before.
The HMV Forum on Kentish Town Road is one of London ‘s premier mid-size music venues, playing host to cult bands like Godspeed You! Black Emperor alongside audiovisual nights from DJ Yoda and even an evening with Chris Moyles.
