Liam Gallagher Interview Coming Soon
Check back here on Monday for a interview with Liam Gallagher, we talked to him about the new collection from Pretty Green, The Brits, Manchester City, Teenage Cancer Trust and working with Jay-Z and the Gorillaz and more.
Oasis
Manchester, England's Happy Mondays may still be together (but with a truncated line-up) but drummer Gary "Gaz" Whelan has his priorities elsewhere at the moment.
As he told us last summer, Whelan, who's now a resident of Burlington, Ont, has formed a new group with some of his Mancunian friends, and they're going by the name Hippy Mafia.
The band will make their live debut in Toronto during Canadian Music Week when they play with Hamilton, Ont.'s Spirits at Bread & Circus on Wednesday.
CHARTattack caught up with Whelan to talk about the new band and life as in southern Ontario.
CHARTattack: Hippy Mafia are playing their first Toronto gig on the opening day of Canadian Music Week. Do you have an album coming out as well? ?
Gaz: Yes and no. All the songs are demos at the moment. There's no live drums on any of them yet.
We keep having all these stupid ideas. We've got two albums worth of songs. We could do a double album and be all 1970s, but the days of the album is gone. It's sad, really, because the bands that you really like growing up, it's the album tracks that you remember. The song that you like immediately, you hate after a month. So we're thinking maybe four EPs.
Are the rest of the band friends from Manchester?
Yes.
And they're all living in Canada?
I moved over here and another guy did, too. One's in the process. It's three Mancunians and one Canadian. We just got a new rapper/poet from Kitchener. He's in Manchester now, being Mancunified. They're all in Manchester as we speak, recording. Everyone but me.
Bonehead's in there from Oasis putting bass down. He may come over for Canadian Music Week. The band's about the message, not the messenger. Bonehead might play, he might not. Five or six of us might play or maybe just four. It doesn't really matter who we are.
It's about the music. I know that sounds pompous and self-righteous, but really, I'm not self-righteous.
It's sort of like that Broken Social Scene mentality. Who knows who's playing on each song.
It doesn't matter does, it? That Rolling Stones song, "We Love You," it's John Lennon singing all the high falsetto. I never knew that. And it's great to know now, but it doesn't make the song any better.

"Falling Down" was a single released on March 9th 2009 by English rock band Oasis, featured on their 2008 seventh studio album Dig Out Your Soul. Written and sung by lead guitarist Noel Gallagher, it was released as the third single from the album and is also the final single released by the band with the digital release occurring a day earlier.
The song debuted at 10 in the UK Singles Chart.
"Falling Down" is the fifth Oasis single to be sung by Noel rather than Liam (not including "Lord Don't Slow Me Down"). It is also the second Oasis song to be used in a TV series (the first being "Half the World Away").
"Falling Down" posted a subtle improvement from its predecessor, "I'm Outta Time" on the UK Singles Chart, reaching #10 in its chart entry week. This was something of a return to form for the band, after "I'm Outta Time" charting at #12 made it the first Oasis single released in the UK to fail to reach the top 10 since "Shakermaker" in 1994.
Between the two releases the band had put out 22 singles which made the top 10.
However, it still showed a decline in the band's fortunes; from the release of "Whatever" at the end of 1994 until the release of "I'm Outta Time" the band had only had one single which failed to reach the top 4 in the charts, and that had been 2007's "Lord Don't Slow Me Down" which was only a minor promotional release and a non-album track and also download only.
The heavily compressed drum-rhythm and sense of disillusioned psychedelia bear a strong resemblance the Beatles song "Tomorrow Never Knows", being cited as Noel's finest effort so far to emulate the atmosphere of that song.
An excerpt of the B-side song "Those Swollen Hand Blues" appears at the end of "Mucky Fingers", second track of Oasis' 2005 album Don't Believe the Truth.
The lyric: "Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly" references the quotation: "Who breaks a butterfly upon a wheel?" from Alexander Pope's "Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot".
The song was released as downloadable content for the video game Guitar Hero: World Tour on 29 January 2009.
The song was used in the opening sequence for the Production I.G anime Eden of the East, which first aired on Fuji TV's noitaminA timeslot on April 9, 2009. There is no word yet if American and Canadian distributor FUNimation Entertainment will be able to include the song in their release.

Excerpt from our friends at Zani.co.uk
We've all got an Oasis memory in there somewhere. Mine was standing outside Noel Gallagher's house, Supernova Heights, in the rain at 10am on 31st July 1997, wondering if he was in and whether I would meet him. It was the day after he'd been to Downing Street with Alan McGee.
I was 14 years old, and I had never met anyone famous before. The papers were dominated with the Tony Blair story, but there was a remarkably small amount of paparazzi around his house. 'Be Here Now' was three weeks off being released, and there were flyers and posters plastered everywhere in London - on every lamppost, bin, and spare wall - instructing the public to "Be There Then" when it happened. 'D'You Know What I Mean' had been and gone from number One, Noel's cat had reportedly gone missing and tickets to Oasis' shows at Earls' Court with The Verve as support had sold out in minutes; I was one of those fans who had spent hours pressing "redial" on the home telephone (I still didn't own a mobile) upset that I couldn't get through. I was amazed at the level of humility present in Noel's lifestyle considering the hype around Oasis at this time.
His house was separated from the main street only by a tiny little waist-height gate that even my 5ft 0 height could have easily climbed over had I felt inclined to. And it wasn't exactly a difficult place for a fan like me to find. When you came out of Belsize Park or Chalk Farm station, you'd spot graffiti, directing you straight there: "This way to Noel's house" an arrow pointed at the foot of Steele's Road, like it was a national tourist landmark. At the time it practically was! I just wondered if he didn't feel vulnerable in this situation. If you looked to the left, you could see straight into his front room. Judging by the graffiti on his front wall, just like on Abbey Road, it was clear that people were coming here every day, doing exactly what I was, as if on a pilgrimage. "It's rude to write on God's property, so this is the best I can do" I saw written on the pavement by the little gate. Everyone who wrote on that wall must have had a story about what circumstances brought them there that day; imagine what kinds of magical stories they would be if we all knew what those were.

Liam Gallagher
Liam Gallagher thinks he has changed ''for the better'' after relaxing his partying ways and taking up running.
The former Oasis singer has toned down his partying ways and has started looking after his body so he can be a good father to his three kids.
Liam, 37, said: "Everyday I'm up at 6am for a run and do a few miles across Hampstead Heath. I love it. I've definitely changed, I think for the better. You must remember I've caned it for 20 years with all sorts and I've got the kids now. I just took my foot off the gas a little with all the bits and bobs because you can't be doing all that with the kids, it's not fair on them. And I love being a dad. It's the best thing in the world."
Liam has three children - daughter Molly, 12, with Lisa Moorish, and sons Lennon, 10, with his ex-wife Patsy Kensit, and eight-year-old Gene with his current spouse Nicole Appleton.
The 'Songbird' singer quit drugs in 2008 to focus on his family life after apparently taking illegal substances for two decades.
He recently said: "I've had a great time and now I'm having a break. It doesn't work with kids. You wake up the next day after a session and you're looking for bits of your kids' homework and football boots. You're all over the place - it's rubbish."

Paul Weller
As many of you may already know, the Modfather Paul Weller picked up the Godlike Genius Award at last week's NME Awards. No argument from us; the guy is a legend. No one would agree with us more than Noel and Gem.
Noel recorded a special message for the awards and Gem was asked by Paul to join him on stage to perform as part of his band playing guitar and providing backing vocals.
If you're not in the UK or didn't catch the TV broadcast you may have missed the guys so we decided we'd go trawling the interwebs to find you the footage:HERE's Noel talking about Paul (approximately 3'20" in).
And a little later on in the same video Gem performs 'Start' and 'Eton Rifles' with Weller.Gem also performed with Paul at his performance at the Haiti Benefit at The Roundhouse on the 25th February.

And while we're on the subject, Gem is not only a killer guitar player he also enjoys dabbling in graphic design and made up an exclusive art print for us.

Kiss star Gene Simmons hopes former Oasis bandmates Noel and Liam Gallagher continue their ongoing feud - because their constant fighting makes them the most "interesting" stars of British music.
The band was thrown into turmoil last year (09) after guitarist Noel walked out following a massive argument with his brother backstage at a music festival in France. The news came after years of infighting and public spats between the brothers.
Noel is now planning a solo career, while singer Liam will continue to make music with the rest of his Oasis bandmates.
But Simmons hopes the split won't put an end to the siblings' feuding - because he loves hearing about their arguments.
He tells British radio station XFM, "God bless the U.K. for giving the world the music that makes all our lives better. I like Keane, I like Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand write great songs. What's missing is stars. I don't care what they do, who they're sh**ging, where they live... they're not interesting people.
"The most interesting people to me are the Gallagher brothers. The interesting thing about them is they're drug addicts and alcoholics and they fight with each other. That's really it."

Former Oasis Liam Gallagher hates indie bands who write ''student music'' and don't wash.
The singer - whose brother Noel quit Oasis last August - has blasted British bands like Bloc Party branding their music "nonsense".
He said: "I really despise this new f***ing disease of indie f***ing s**t, f***ing student music, the likes of Bloc Party and all that f***ing nonsense. They don't keep me awake at night, but it's just s**te, and they can f***ing have it mate."
The 37-year-old star - who runs his own fashion label Pretty Green - has also blasted musicians who don't take care of their appearance and thinks scruffy rockers look like homeless people.
He added to Esquire magazine: "The thing is, man, you can make your clothes look like they've been worn in and look as if they've had a bit of character, but underneath you've got to have a f***ing wash. Those f***ers wear the clothes all the f***ing time and they don't wash, so it's like, 'Where's the f***ing bench?'
"I've heard plenty of bands that can write a decent enough tune then you see them and I go, 'Thank f**k - they look like s**t.' If you look good and you've got the tunes, you're away man."

Pretty Green
Liam Gallagher says his fashion label Pretty Green is full of ''timeless, classic clobber'' and only contains stuff he would wear.
The rocker - who launched his own fashion line last year - deliberately kept his designs and ideas simple but opted for luxurious fabrics to make sure the range wasn't too "wild".
He said: "Pretty Green is timeless, classic clobber. Nothing too wild - parkas, nice macs, boating blazers, quality button-down shirts, polo shirts, desert boots - all made really well in really nice materials. It's quality."
The 37-year-old singer runs his label on a collection of simple rules and if an item doesn't look good on him, it won't make it into his clothing range.
He explained to Esquire magazine: "We discuss ideas, then they make them up, and if it doesn't look good on me, then I'm not f***ing having it. I'm not a fashion man but I know what looks good and what I like and that is as far as it goes. It's more about style really than fashion, and Pretty Green won't take any notice of trends. Fashion comes and goes. Style remains. I hate it when people say, 'That goes with that, and that with that.' I say, 'Well f**k of! I'll do what I like.'

The singer - whose older sibling quit the super-group last August after tensions and feuding between the pair became intolerable - believes his brother is completely over-hyped.
Discussing who he thought was the most overrated man in history, Liam told Esquire magazine: "Has to be Noel Gallagher."
Liam, 37, is currently working on new material with his ex-Oasis bandmates Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock, while 42-year-old Noel - who wrote the majority of Oasis' biggest hits - is preparing to launch a solo career.
Although they can no longer work together, Liam believes Oasis were successful because they just concentrated on making great music.
He explained: "What's the secret to my success? Taking the music 100 per cent seriously but the rest of it having a laugh. Getting everyone at it. There's no point in doing it any other way. We weren't built on a career plan. All these kids these days are so obsessed with their careers. We just f***ing did it and it happened, and if it didn't f***ing happen, then it didn't."
