Twisted Wheel: We Want To Hug Noel Gallagher

Bright, bold and deafeningly loud, Twisted Wheel are determined to make the world sit up and take notice.

They recently supported The Enemy on their UK tour, Oasis on their European tour and Paul Weller on a series of British forests gigs, but now they’re stepping out of the shadows and into the limelight on their own.

Their self-titled debut album was released last year, and has received positive reviews from all corners of the music press. Surely that’s a big boost to a new band?

“It’s hard to keep up with them all,” says Jonny. “I read a few on the internet and then we go on tour and I don’t see anything for weeks. I think even better than the reviews is that Paul Weller and Oasis have said they like us, and they’re just legends. Things are looking good so far.

“You have to pinch yourself, you know. I burst into hysterics when I think about it sometimes, you can’t beat it.

“Oasis have always been such an inspiration to me, and when I was younger, I dreamed of maybe meeting them one day. Before I knew it I was playing on tour with them. It’s unreal. You’ve got to keep your cool though, even if I want to just give them all a massive hug.”

They’ve certainly enjoyed supporting their heroes...

“It’s the best way to get known, I think,” says Jonny. “As we’re not getting played on Radio 1, we have to play live, and hopefully get ourselves a reputation as a great live band. That’ll make up for it. I love playing live, absolutely love it.”

Noel Gallagher's Fan-tastic Day

Man City-mad Noel Gallagher had a sore head from the post-derby match tear-up when he bumped into his side's newest star Patrick Vieira at Manchester's Radisson hotel yesterday.

Noel, Freddie Flintoff, M People founder Mike Pickering and an army of City fans had toasted the 2-1 win over rivals Man United into the wee small hours.

Gary Neville's invite must have been lost in the post.

Vampire Weekend On Oasis Split

Vampire Weekend have spoken about the Oasis split, as the boys were due on stage before the Gallagher brothers for the Paris Rock en Seine festival in August last year.

“It was very awkward” recalls Tomson, “watching their crew breaking down all the lights and instruments, people started crying”.

But the band look back fondly on the Manchester bad boys. “We all liked their first few albums”, Tomson says, but “lost touch from there. I will be sad to see them go”.

Oasis were the face of Britpop, or, in Batmanglij’s words: “the pinnacle of British idiocy!”.

Fran Healy Predicts Oasis Reunion

Fran Healy has predicted that Liam and Noel Gallagher will reunite to reform Oasis.

The Travis frontman told his official website that the siblings will get back together after clearing the air with their separate projects following Noel's departure in the summer.

Healy said: "I met Liam at the Oasis concert in Wembley. He kissed me square on the lips and said, 'I fookin' love you'. Liam is a doll.

"As for Noel, I have not heard from Noel for years. I’m sure they'll return. The solo projects are a perfect digestive before the inevitable Oasis reunion. But I will say that my solo project will definitely be the best solo project."

Of his first album away from Travis, he added: "I would hate to be a new band coming through at the moment so it's nice to have already been introduced to people.

"However, I have no idea how Wreckorder will be viewed. So far, folks have been open to the idea of this solo excursion. But it's all down to the songs.

"If it's a pile of s**t then it will stink and if it stinks then I would like it to sink without trace. I think it doesn't stink, though. I have played it to some people now and the reaction has been very exciting."

Liam Gallagher's Head Seen In Fireball

A fire-eater has mastered the art of blowing out balls of flame in the shape Liam Gallagher's head.

The circus artist created the fireball resembling the Oasis frontman during a procession in the Costa Tequise district of Lanzarote in the Canary islands.

John Brigden, 50, a lorry driver from Alcester, Warwickshire, who photographed the spectacle, said: "I was just watching the procession and clicking away taking photographs.

"And then when I looked at it later, I was a little bit spooked looking at it initially. With the long hair and things, it bears a hell of resemblance to Liam - I couldn't believe it."

Filming The Excesses Of Creation

If you think rock’n’roll is all about swagger, a new film on the drink- and drug-fuelled years of Creation Records is for you

WHEN AN UNSIGNED Noel Gallagher took the train from Manchester to meet the bosses of Creation Records in 1993, he had little idea what to expect. But in a room above a sweatshop in the backstreets of east London, surrounded by self-confessed “misfits, drug addicts and sociopaths”, the Oasis songwriter found his spiritual home.

“He came to the Creation office and saw the words ‘Northern Ignorance’ scrawled in magic marker across the roof of the reception,” says former managing director Tim Abbott. “I’d done it the week before, when I was off my head on ecstasy, walking on the tables and drinking champagne. Noel saw it and went: ‘Fucking ’ell, I’m having that. I like it here.’”

Now, the full extent of the debauchery, precariousness and genius of the independent label is to be laid bare in the most revealing rock’n’roll film since 24 Hour Party People , the story of the “Madchester” scene. Upside Down, due out in spring, reveals Creation’s unusual method of making sure new bands came on board, according to Abbott.

“We often used to drink and drug the bands into submission,” he says.

In Gallagher’s case, after the initial bond formed, he was frogmarched to the pub, according to Abbott, where, unsurprisingly, all involved got “stuck into a session”.

A decade after Creation closed, and 25 years since the release of its first single, Upside Down charts the heady 15-year existence of the label that launched Primal Scream, Ride and My Bloody Valentine, as well as Oasis. It veered from one financial precipice to another, according to Abbott. Even after Primal Scream won the Mercury music prize in 1992, the resulting visibility did not translate into financial viability.

“We were always skint. It was like spinning plates, we were always trying to dodge the bailiffs,” Abbott says. “It was my job to go out and see them, probably because I was the smallest. [Co-founder Dick Green] would see to the manufacturers who we couldn’t pay and [co-founder Alan McGee] would just try to blag it. It couldn’t go on like that.”

Upside Down ’s director, Danny O’Connor, who admitted going through “near bankruptcy and dementia and all the other things that come with Creation” during the making of the film, says he was drawn to telling the story of the label that had provided the soundtrack to his life.

“No one does excess like Creation, no one does great records like Creation,” he says. “Creation was an indie, but it didn’t wear a cardigan, it didn’t apologise. There was a real power in its punch. If you think that rock’n’roll is all about swagger, this is your film.” And few do swagger like McGee. In a trailer for the film, he admits: “I was absolutely delusional. I actually thought I was up there with Beethoven and Shakespeare, creating metaphysical history by running Creation.”

Abbott agrees: “We were dysfunctional people working with dysfunctional bands, but somehow we still managed to function. We got results. ”

For Abbott, when Sony bought 49 per cent of the label in 1992, it spelled the end of its glory days. “When McGee sold creation to Sony, it was a curse. It took the pressure off financially, but it changed everything. Sony brought in accountants and a major label culture. The offices moved from Hackney to Primrose Hill and it got stupid.”

Abbott has few regrets about the closure of the label in 1999. “When the label folded, it was sad, but it had been consumed by a monster. It stopped being a vehicle for music and started being a vehicle for egos. Alan and Dick sold the soul of Creation to the devil, and the devil wanted it back with interest.”

Damon Albarn: "Oasis Were Like The Bullies I Had To Put Up With At School"

Damon Albarn has admitted for the first time getting mixed up in a deadly heroin scene with ex-girlfriend Justine Frischmann from Elastica in the aftermath of Britpop madness.

Blur have bared their souls in a devastatingly honest documentary - about drugs, breakdowns, rivalries and reunion.

The definitive rockumentary, No Distance Left To Run, premiered in London last night in front of the four band members and I thoroughly recommend it to any music fan.

Blur clear up one old mystery - saying it was Damon's decision to release single Country House against Roll With It by Oasis.

The biggest chart battle of the decade became the defining moment of Brit pop - and Blur got the No1.

Damon says he did it to get back at Noel Gallagher. He recalled: "Noel used to take the p*** out of me constantly and it really, really hurt at the time. Oasis were like the bullies I had to put up with at school."

Blur: No Distance Left To Run

Cert 15, 104mins

5/5

Hot on the heels of their reunion at last year's Glastonbury Festival, this terrific documentary takes a look at the ups and downs of reluctant Britpoppers Blur.

Refusing to gloss over hard truths, this is access-all-areas stuff as the four members discuss their rivalry with Oasis, guitarist Graham Coxon's alcoholism and the turmoil that led to their six-year hiatus.

Anchored by footage of their reunion, we examine the band's Essex childhoods and how being Britain's biggest band in the mid-90s almost did for them.

While lead singer Damon Albarn is charmingly self-deprecatory, it's Coxon who's the best value, amusingly reminiscing about his stint in rehab and how he'd avoid showbiz parties filled with women "dressed like spiders" for the normality of Camden boozers.

A celebration of music and friendship, and a document of the vacuousness of Cool Britannia, documentaries don't get any better.
