Doherty Covers Oasis

Pete Doherty played a cover of an Oasis song at a solo show in London this morning, just hours after his latest court appearance.

The Babyshambles star took to the stage at the Rhythm Factory at around midnight, performing a two-hour set from across his career.

Emerging to a chant of "QPR, QPR, QPR", Doherty was backed by friend The General throughout, with Mick Whitnall from Babyshambles also contributing.

Amongst the material played was Noel Gallagher's "Don't Look Back In Anger", plus tracks from the recent "Blinding" EP, "Killamangiro" and "What Katy Did Next".

Libertines favourites "What A Waster", "Can't Stand Me Now" and "Time For Heroes" also got an airing in the lengthy set, according to the NME.

The show followed a full band concert at the Boogaloo Bar in Highgate in London on Monday evening and Doherty's appearance before magistrates on Wednesday afternoon.

He was congratulated for his progress at the latest review of a drug rehab order at Thames Magistrates Court in East London by District Judge Jane McIvor.

Speaking to reporters outside court, Doherty commented: "It's just a really positive time for me at the moment."

Noel Gallagher Interview HDNET Sound Off

Gallagher 'Williams Album Is Dog S**t'

Noel Gallagher has reignited his feud with Robbie Williams ahead of today's (16JAN07) Brit Award Nominations - calling the Angel singer's new album dog s**t.

Williams' album Rudebox is wildly expected to be shunned at today's nominations for the British music event - making it the first time in ten years his album hasn't received a BRIT nomination.

And Oasis rocker Gallagher hasn't wasted any time in sticking the knife in - insisting Williams probably hates the album as well. He says, "As he tends to refer himself in the third person, Robbie Williams is obviously a character that he invented and the music he makes is f**king dog s**t.

And I think even Robbie would probably admit that. The outburst from the Wonderwall rocker is the latest in a series of feuds between the pair - which all started after Gallagher called the Let Me Entertain You singer the "fat dancer from TAKE THAT." The Brit Awards takes place next month (14FEB)

Stars Share Spotlight In A Record For Buskers

Musical legends including ex-Smiths' bassist Andy Rourke joined forces with 150 buskers from across Manchester this weekend in a bid to raise money for charity.

The world record busking attempt, organised by Versus Cancer, attracted hundreds of onlookers outside the Urbis in Cathedral Gardens.

Andy was joined by Damon Gough - better known as Badly Drawn Boy - and ex-Oasis guitarist Bonehead. The event saw performers banging drums, strumming guitars and singing along to the Oasis hit Wonderwall. The gig was also designed to highlighting the Versus Cancer concert at the M.E.N. Arena in March.

Last year's event, which attracted artists including New Order, Johnny Marr, Shaun Ryder, The Doves and Elbow, was organised after Andy's manager's sister and dad were diagnosed with cancer.

Andy said: "Versus Cancer came about because my manager found out his sister and dad had cancer.

"I wanted to do something to help and as a musician the only thing I could think of doing was putting on a concert. But I never thought it would grow to this size.

"The great thing about Manchester is all the musicians get on really well so everyone gave up their time to get involved.

"We are all about setting a new world record. There is no record at the moment so we are starting something new."

Travelled

Busker Paul McNulty travelled from Chorlton with wife Claire and children Clementine, five and Charlie, two, to take part.

He said: "I read about this event and thought it was a great way to show my children the positive effects music can have.

"I'm a computer programmer but I used to busk a lot -though I hadn't for a while."

Promoters say the busk is only a taster of the main event, which comes to the M.E.N. Arena on March 30.

The concert has already attracted bands including Ian Brown and Echo And The Bunnymen. Gig organiser and Andy's manager Nova said: "A lot of people have put a lot of hard work into the show. It has grown from an idea we had in the pub into a massive thing which is raising money to fund research into cancer and attracting some of the biggest names in music."

On This Day In Oasis History....

"All Around the World" is a song by British rock band Oasis, written by the band's lead guitarist Noel Gallagher. The song is seen by many as the stand-out track from their third album Be Here Now. Released on 12th January 1998, the track peaked at Number 1 in the UK Singles Chart; it is the longest single ever to do so.

Be Here Now has been criticised for being self-indulgent, over-produced and bloated. "All Around the World", nearly ten minutes long, embellished with string and horn pieces, and followed by its very own two minute long instrumental reprise, would appear to be the worst culprit. However, on its release the reviews were generally positive. It is in keeping with many Oasis songs, such as "Whatever", "Acquiesce", "Live Forever" and "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" in that it preaches the belief that "it's gonna be OK". It also features a backing vocal in the coda remarkably similar to the corresponding section in The Beatles' classic "Hey Jude".



The song was one of the first to be written by Noel, and there are recorded sessions of the band rehearsing it at the Boardwalk club as early as 1992. However, despite Noel's fondness for the song, it did not appear on their first two albums, Definitely Maybe and (What's The Story) Morning Glory?, as he wanted to wait until the band could afford to produce the song in the extravagant manner in which it was to eventually appear.

Keeping with the feel of the song, the video was also a lavish affair. Featuring the band in a yellow spaceship, the animated piece saw them travel through a world akin to The Beatles' Yellow Submarine film. The video was directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris and apparently took 24 computer animators 6 months to make.



When it was suggested that Oasis take legal action against pop band Hear'Say for their first single's uncanny similarity to "All Around the World", Noel simply laughed at the hypocrisy of such an act from a man who was famous for "borrowing" from other artists.

The harmonica pieces on the track were performed by Mark Feltham. Noel and Liam's then wives, Meg Matthews and Patsy Kensit, sang backing vocals.

Portions of the song were used as background music for AT&T's advertising campaign for "The New" AT&T in early 2006.

Oasis Live At The Brits

Oasis to receive Outstanding Contribution to Music BRIT award

The BPI announced last year that Oasis will be recognised with the prestigious
Outstanding Contribution to Music at The BRIT Awards on Valentine’s Day 2007. The band are to be presented with the award at the show at London’s Earls Court on the 14th February 2007.
Previous winners of the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award include The Beatles, John Lennon, U2 and The Who. This will be the 5th BRIT Award the band have received.

Oasis have also confirmed that they will be performing live at the BRITS ceremony, which will be broadcast live for the first time.

Often cited as the most influential band of their generation, Oasis can count many contemporary bands — including Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys and more — as great fans of their music and rock’n’roll swagger.

The band was formed by brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher in Manchester in 1991. The debut album Definitely Maybe (1994) plus the follow-ups (What’s The Story) Morning Glory (1995), and Be Here Now (1997) defined the 1990’s decade for many music fans.

More recent albums, Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants (2000), Heathen Chemistry (2002) and Don’t Believe The Truth (2005) saw experimental changes in mood and in line-up, but all of the band’s studio albums — as well as 8 of their singles — made UK No1. In addition, they have sold 50 million albums, earned numerous accolades, and picked up four BRIT awards to date.

Oasis’ current line up includes Gem Archer (guitar/backing vocals), Andy Bell (bass) and Zac Starkey (drums). The group released a best-of album, Stop The Clocks in November 2006, with a new studio album slated for late 2007.

Noel's £14m Wonderwall-et

Noel Gallagher has revealed the extent of his wealth for the first time.

The moneybags Oasis songwriter blurted out in an interview that he’s got £14 million stashed away in the bank.

And that doesn’t include his other investments such as posh properties in London, Manchester and Ibiza.

Asked whether he is losing interest in the music business, Noel admitted: “Yeah. But at the last count, I’ve got 14million quid in the bank account — that keeps me interested.”

Then, regretting the slip, he hastily joked: “By the way, if anyone’s reading this — particularly the Inland Revenue — I haven’t got 14million in the bank . . . not in cash anyway.”

Bit too late for that, I think Noel . . .

Oasis Exhibit Will Turn Back The Clocks

A Photo exhibition that captures the early days of rock band Oasis is to open in Bath next week.

The collection of images by photographer Jill Furmanovsky will go on display at the Fopp record store in Westgate Buildings from Monday.

In the late 1990s, the photographer had unprecedented access to the band and candidly captured the stars at work and play over three years.

Most of the photos are of brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, who are the band's singer and guitarist respectively.

The band rose to fame in the mid-1990s with the album Definitely Maybe. A series of other top-selling albums followed.

The images are taken from Furmanovsky's Oasis collection, Was There Then.

The exhibition comes shortly after Oasis released their 'best of' album, Stop the Clocks.

All the images will be available for sale.

What's The Story? Our Kid's Getting Wed!

It's official! Oasis bad boy Liam Gallgher is finally set to tie the knot with his All Saints fiancee Nicole Appleton later this year - but Liam is reportedly fuming at his brother Noel for letting slip the secret news.

'We will get married,' Nicole has previously revealed. 'There's no pressure from out parents to, but when we go to friends' weddings I think, I want to do this. We're pretty much married anyway and I call him my husband sometimes. Having children together is a bigger commitment than getting married - but we will do it.'

Naughty Noel announced more wedding plans at a boozy bash in Manchester - and it's not the first time he's got into hot water with his brother. Last month Noel refused to allow Oasis to appear on The X Factor, which would have given sales of their greatest hits album a much-welcome boost over the festive period.

'We should have done it,' explained Liam. 'The contestants would have all been singing Oasis songs and I would have loved that. We'd have made it to number one in the album charts without a doubt, but our kid said no and that was that.'

Noel Planning To Record Most Ambitious Album Yet

Oasis' Noel Gallagher is hoping to pull out all the stops when the band head into the studio to record their seventh studio LP later this year.

According to NME, the guitarist and chief songwriter is thinking big for the follow-up to 2005's huge-selling sixth LP, Dont Believe The Truth.

He told the weekly rock magazine: "All the tunes I've written recently have been on the kind of acoustic side, you know? But for the next record I really fancy doing a record where we just completely throw the kitchen sink at it.

"We havent done that since Be Here Now (the bands third LP). I'd like to get, like, a 100-piece orchestra and choirs and all that stuff.

"I think since Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants (the bands fourth LP) weve been trying to prove a point of just bass, drums, guitar and vocals nothing fancy. But I kind of like fancy! I'd like to make an absolutely colossal album.

And the Burnage rocker already has some songs in mind for the as-yet-untitled release.

Stop The Clocks

"'Stop The Clocks' will eventually appear, then theres another one call 'I Wanna Live In A Dream In My Record Machine'.

It's about buying records, and I said to boys in Kasabian out in Ibiza, its kind of like a Champagne Supernova thing.

Noel also confirmed that just like on the previous release, the rest of the band will also contribute.

"Andy (Bell) and Liam (Gallagher) are writing stuff now, Im not sure what Andys songs are like, but Liams are kind of very Beatle-esque".

Apparently, one of Liams tracks has caught Noels ear in particular.

"'Boy With The Blues' could be as big or small as you want it to be. It could be like a gospel track or something".

Liam does gospel, now theres something to look forward to!

Queen In Top Band Vote Win

Queen narrowly beat The Beatles yesterday in a poll to find the greatest British band of all time.
The flamboyant rockers got 400 more votes than the Fab Four in a Radio 2 "contest" to win the title.

Rolling Stones came in third, Oasis were fourth and Take That fifth after 20,000 listeners voted.
The final shortlist of five had been whittled down form thousands of nominations for top acts.

Each band was judged on songwriting, lyrics, gigs, and showmanship during the programme hosted by Mark Goodier.

The winners were boosted by a nomination from teen act McFly, who said the group inspired them.

Queen, led by singer Freddie Mercury, had hits from the 1970s to the 90s.

Freddie Mercury tragically died in 1991 from an Aids-related condition.
