Guitarist Carlos Alomar and bassist George Murray, who both played on David Bowie's celebrated 'Beriln' trilogy' of albums and formed two-thirds of the D.A.M. trio (drummer Dennis Davies sadly died from cancer in 2016), are to tour together for the first time since 1979 in celebration of those three iconic albums, Low, "Heroes" and Lodger.
The Carlos Alomar presents The D.A.M. Trilogy - Back To Berlin Tour 2025 kicks off in the German capital’s Metropol venue on November 7, just around the corner from the legendary West Berlin Hansa Studio where Bowie recorded the trilogy, before moving through Scandinavia, the Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Belgium and the UK, ending at Dublin's Vicar Street on December 1.
“Where other bands have toured Bowie’s songs extensively since his passing, these songs haven’t been performed the way they were meant to be. Until now,” says Alomar. “The Spiders From Mars are well known, but the D.A.M. Trio remains rock and roll’s best-kept secret. It’s time to honour our legacy, including Dennis’s.
“The fans we’ve met along the way are the ones who have driven this. We feel obliged to do it because they’ve waited so long for us to return to these songs. This could very well be our last spin of Europe.”
