Noel Gallagher To Work With Russell Brand Next Summer

Russell Brand was recently interviewed by Northern Ireland radio station Cool FM, and said that he and Noel Gallagher plan to do a number of podcasts during the World Cup in South Africa next year.

Creation Records Documentary to Hit Screens Next Year

There’s no question the digital era of music has ignited many music fans’ interest in independent record labels, as many influential and historic labels are now getting the book/documentary/box set celebration. Seminal British indie label, Creation Records, is the latest to get its due, and next year Document will release Upside Down, a documentary about the rise and fall of the influential label.

Founder Alan McGee will of course play a major part in the documentary, which will feature interviews with Noel Gallagher, Bobby Gillespie and many more luminaries from the label that first signed heavyweights such as the Jesus And Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, Primal Scream, Super Furry Animals and Oasis.

“It's the story of the times," said McGee, according to MOJO. "Where it went right and where it went wrong. I expect it to last two days in the cinema and then do 500,000 DVDs!"

According to Document, Upside Down is still “knee deep in edit but all will be done by mid-January.” It will then hit cinemas, or at least UK cinemas, in March/April 2010, with a host of “very special events” set to go down around the film’s release.

This should incite at least a little nostalgia for those fretting about the recent break-up of Oasis. Or maybe even spark a reunion?

You can watch the trailer to Upside Down here.

Happy Christmas From Oasisinet

As we get closer and closer to Christmas we thought it would be nice to give you something a bit special to watch.

You may remember back in April we showed you a sneak preview of Noel performing 'Waiting For The Rapture' acoustically. It was filmed by photographer Josh Cheuse in an unusual location backstage at Oasis' Madison Square Garden gig in December 2008.

Up until now, the full version was only available via Bono's (Red)Wire digital magazine but you can now view the complete performance on the front page (of the official Oasis site).

Happy Christmas from us all here at Oasisinet!

Have you got all your shopping done yet? Nope, us neither! For the Oasis fan in your life, why not stop by the band's store to pick up some last-minute items!

Dave Grohl: "I'd Invite The Gallagher's To My Barbecue"

From Q Magazine December 09

Who would you have round for a barbecue to greet the end of the decade?

I'd invite Liam Gallagher but then I'd secretly invite Noel, too. I'd get them toghether at the barbecue and make peace. I'm good at that, man. I can make people love each other.

What if Courtney Love turned up uninvited?

Next question!

Oasis' Newest Member Jamie Kelly?

We've already had the first Noel - now I've got news of a possible second.

I hear Liam is lining up mate Jamie Kelly (pictured) to replace Noel as the Oasis guitarist.

He's been pals with Liam and his other brother Paul for years and could be the guy to step into Noel's shoes for the revamped band.

I gather Liam's recruited him to rehearse with the new band, which is so far unnamed but it could still end up being called Oasis.

A pal said: "It's a massive break for Jamie. He'll start rehearsing with them and if he clicks with Liam, who knows, he could be a permanent replacement for Noel. Jamie is very excited."

I was first to reveal in September that Liam was starting an X Factor-style audition process to find a replacement guitarist after Noel quit the band.

The mate added: "No one can believe that an unknown has been given the chance to join one of the biggest bands in the country."

Christmas Time, Mistletoe And Another Gallagher Whine...

The griping Gallagher brothers are at it again, with Liam today cruelly dubbing Noel a tight-fisted Scrooge.

In an eXSplosive interview Liam ranted: "He's miserable all year round so imagine him at Christmas when he's got to f***ing buy you a present."

The lads haven't spent a Christmas together since they were nippers, said Liam, 37, who added: "You don't want to be around him for Christmas. The last one we had together was when we lived with mam."

Oh dear, I hope Liam hasn't started another ding-dong merrily on high after the ruck of rucks that led to the acrimonious Oasis split.

So to get Noel in the Christmas spirit and prove his bro wrong I've transformed him into one of Santa's cheeky elves.

Liam went on: "Noel gets really miserable on birthdays and at Christmas because he's got to get his hand in his pocket and buy you a present. Flash the cash and that sort of thing."

Must be tough when you're only worth £25 million, eh Noel?

And with a name like Noel we wouldn't expect him to be grumpy at Christmas. Liam said: "I love my brother without a doubt. But I also think he's a bit of an idiot sometimes."

Liam also accused Noel, 42, of staging the argument that led to Oasis splitting in the summer.

He said: "He didn't have the balls to tell the band or the fans so he sort of over-analysed or dramatised a little argument that we had and said it was the worst one ever.

"That was the worst one ever? Well, I think that's pretty poor because we've had some ding dongs.

"I just think basically he wanted out. That's the way it is."

The brothers' public spat focused on Liam smashing Noel's guitar. Liam explained: "He treated my guitar poorly, which is a present off my wife, so I thought, it's only fair to repay the compliment. So I smashed up one of his. It was a lot more expensive than mine."

Buy him a new one for Christmas, Liam - and let there be peace on earth for ALL mankind.

BBC Seeking Film Footage Of The Britpop Scene

BBC - Home Movie Roadshow

Next year, BBC TWO is launching a new series which will travel the country in a hunt for the nation’s home movie archive.

This is the nation’s story through the eyes of its most important historians: the British people.

We are looking for any amateur-filmed footage that reflects the events of the 1990's and the Britpop scene. We are interested in seeing footage from gigs or signings, or anything that might include the members of Oasis or other prevalent Britpop acts.

We are throwing the net very wide, and we are really interested to hear from individuals or organisations about what they think is of importance and what deserves to be seen on the small screen.

If you have old video or film footage we would love to hear from you. We are happy to take it on any format. We guarantee its’ safe return.

At this point, we are still at the research stage – so we are keen to hear about what people have. If any clips are used in the series, then a fee will be paid.

Please contact the production team at

rachel.james-bailey@diverse.tv or on 0203 189 3229.

Or you can post your footage to: Home Movie Roadshow,

Liam Gallagher: ‘Me And Our Kid, We Were Never Close’

His last public appearance in Manchester was as front man of Oasis. Now Liam Gallagher returns as head of clothing label Pretty Green. Paul Taylor talked to him about fashion and fraternal love.

'Tis the season of goodwill, and I'm wondering whether now may be the right time for Liam and Noel Gallagher to patch up their differences and get back to bestriding the world as Oasis.

“I haven't spoken to him. I don't think he'd speak to me either. That's life,” says Liam Gallagher, with characteristic bluntness

Not even a Christmas card, then?

“Listen we never sent Christmas cards before the split. I don't think we're going to start now,” says Liam. “We were never that close as a family. I got on well with my other brother. I got on well with my mam, obviously, and they've (Noel and mam) got a great relationship. But me and our kid...we were never that close. The only thing that kept us together was the band. It's sad, but that's life. There's more dysfunctional families than just ours.”

And yes, it is sad. For most of us came to regard Liam and Noel as rock 'n' roll's version of Waldorf and Statler from the Muppet Show – bad-tempered men who would grow old bashing their heads together, turning mutual animosity into an unbreakable bond.

But after 18 years of era-defining music and some of the most entertaining soundbites rock has ever known. Noel, aged 42, departed Oasis in August, saying he could not work with his younger brother Liam a day longer. Noel later cited “verbal and violent intimidation towards me, my family, friends and comrades”.

Liam's response: “He can't work with me. Apparently, I'm the f***ing devil; he's the herald angel, whatever. The truth will out. I'm a good person. I've got a lot of nice people around me and they wouldn't be around me if I was what people say I am.

“What I will say...I dig our kid and I know he digs me, and in the future, who knows. But at the moment, no f***ing chance.”

Not far from the windowless back room at Selfridges store in Manchester where we speak, there are 200 people queuing patiently to tell Liam they think he's a good person too. He's here to launch the more luxurious, pricier Black Label range of his Pretty Green fashion house, and there are autographed limited edition postcards for the first 200 purchasers. The range includes t-shirts from £35, a paisley kaftan shirt at £180, a “Fool on the Hill” coat at £675 and – Liam's own fashion choice today – a green herringbone tweed overcoat at £325.

He insists he has strong input into the label's designs, and that he is in the fashion business for the long run. It's mod-influenced, timeless clothing, likely to work for a broad age range.

“It's classic. You can look cool. It's like the Italians, man. There's nothing worse than seeing a 50-year old geezer in a pair of trainers and track suit...unless he's going for a run.”

So what were Liam's own style inspirations?

“Quadrophenia, without a doubt,” he says, mentioning also the Stone Roses and football fan fashion of track suits and Adidas trainers. But there is another less likely suspect in the Gallagher style DNA.

“I was into Paul Newman growing up,” he admits. “I thought he looked f***ing great. You know Fort Apache, The Bronx? I saw that film once when I was 14 and he looked cool, man.”

At 37, Liam looks sharp as ever – lean, taller than you expect, beetle-browed, with chiselled features, pure mod hairstyle and firm, sinewy handshake. He fidgets like a man who doesn't quite know what to do with all his energy.

The remainder of Oasis soldiers on Noel-less. Liam says there are many songs written, and six or seven recorded in demo form. Bass player Andy Bell has now switched to guitar and Liam has brought in a new bassist, whom he refuses to name except to say that he comes from Bury.

“We've got some studio time booked after Christmas and we're going to go in, bang it out. We're not going to fart around with it. It's going to be lean, not over-indulgent and I think people are going to like it,” says Liam. “It's rock 'n' roll, man. The melodies are totally different from Noel's. It's going to sound like Oasis but a touch different.”

The big question is, will this band still be called Oasis?

“We don't know, man,” says Liam. “We've got a lot of names floating about. None of them are sticking. None of us can agree on it. What's the word...democracy.

“Listen, everyone's always going to recognise me as Oasis, so at the moment, it's Oasis. And I know a lot of people will go 'Oh, it'll never be the same without Noel'. No s***, you know.

“If we come up with a supercool name that we all agree on, then away we go. If we don't then I'm not going to f***ing beat myself up about it. We're Oasis. If people like it, they like it. If people don't, then don't buy the record.”
