Liam Gallagher's new band have ruled out performing any Oasis songs when they play their debut tour in the new year.
The group Beady Eye announced their first live show will take place in Glasgow in March with five other UK dates to follow.
But the show will not feature any of the songs which have made frontman Liam - and the rest of the group, made up of ex-Oasis musicians - into stars.
In an interview in the January edition of Q magazine, on sale from Friday, guitarist Gem Archer said: "We're just buzzing about this band and looking forward to the album coming out and getting out on the road.
"And there'll be no Oasis songs, either, if you were going to ask."
The new group formed after Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher, Liam's brother, walked out on the band after years of internal friction.
Despite the bad blood between the Gallagher brothers, Archer said Noel remained on good terms with the others.
But he was unable to say whether he expected the former band leader to reform Oasis in the future.
"Give us a chance man, no one's thinking that far ahead," he told Q.
Former Oasis front man Liam Gallagher will be in Birmingham tonight to launch the latest range for his clothing line.
The feisty singer will be at Selfridges, Bullring, between 6-8pm to unveil the new spring/summer Pretty Green collection in an invitation-only event.
Liam and brother Noel headed up Oasis for nearly 20 years with hits including Wonderwall and Some Might Say. But the two brothers announced they were splitting up in August 2009 shortly after headlining the V Festival at Weston Park. Liam’s new band Beady Eye have just released their first single Bring the Light and are planning to tour next year.
Pretty Green was launched in London last year with a glitzy party attracting names such as boxing champion Ricky Hatton, singer Richard Ashcroft and Liam’s wife Nicole Appleton.
Blending casual and tailoring designs, the range, founded and designed by Liam, took Menswear Brand of the Year award at the Drapers Fashion Awards earlier this year.
The ever popular Desert Boots are back in stock today! Liam worked closely with the Clarks Originals design team to develop a Pretty Green version of the classic Desert Boot. Still carrying the signature Originals design, the boot has a wider and more rounded toe and lower heel, creating a slimmer profile than the original.

Ex-Oasis star Noel Gallagher is working on his debut solo album, collaborator Miles Kane has confirmed.
One half of The Last Shadow Puppets alongside Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner, Kane said he has played guitar on a new track set for Gallagher's solo debut.
Noel Gallagher had told fans not to expect new material any time soon.
In September he told the BBC: "I'm moving house and my missus is nine months pregnant so I'm not doing anything until well into next year."
Miles Kane's appearance on the album was a favour after Gallagher lent vocals to a track on his forthcoming solo debut called My Fantasy, set for release next year.
Speaking to Newsbeat, Kane said: "I play guitar on one of his songs for his album.
"I was only in there for a couple of hours. I did my thing. That was in return for me going on his one."
In March, Noel Gallagher played a handful of dates, his first since Oasis split in 2009 but didn't play any new material.
Since then he's been working on songs and Miles Kane says he got in touch with Noel Gallagher first.
"I was mixing the record and I was going to do these harmonies to give it a boost - it was a bit flat," he said.
"I text him [Gallagher] saying, I need some icing on this tune and he said, 'Icing is what I do very well'.
"It's only a really subtle thing on the middle eight and the chorus of this song called My Fantasy. It's nice, I'm very honoured that he did it. It's a nice little touch."

Liam Gallagher assures us new band Beady Eye is totally, definitely absolutely nothing at all like old band Oasis. When he goes on tour next year with Andy Bell Chris Sharrock and Gem Archer it will be strictly new songs only.
Gem told Q magazine: "There will be no Oasis songs either, if you were going to ask." The six-date tour begins on March 3 in Glasgow, before London and Manchester. Glad they cleared that up.

Former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has picked an up-and-coming Cardiff band to play at the glitzy London launch of his new clothing label.
The Broken Vinyl Club were stunned to get the call to say the notorious Brit-pop bad boy had personally requested them to play at the club night for Pretty Green.
They took the request from Gallagher in disbelief, saying that it was weeks before reality sank in.
Band frontman Scott Howells said the four-piece, who have only been together 18 months, had been inspired by Oasis. He said: “Oasis were one of the bands that made me want to be in a band.”
They will play a set at the Relentless Garage in London on Friday in front of a celebrity crowd. “We’re working really hard because obviously we want to get it right in front of so many influential people,” Scott added.
Liam heard the band’s first single, I Want You Girl, after Merthyr-born actor and musician Jon Owen passed it on to contacts in the music industry.
Music teacher Scott, 30, said he and his colleagues, who live in Cardiff and Aberdare, were amazed to get the call.
He said: “It didn’t sink in for about a week-and-a-half, we didn’t really believe it was true.”
But now he and band mates Meirion Townsend, Justin Beynon and Jamie Taylor are preparing for their biggest show yet.
“Hopefully the nerves will pass by the end of the second song,” Scott said.
“We’ve been going for 18 months as this band but we’ve never done anything as big as this.”
Gallagher’s Pretty Green clothing label makes designer wear and was founded by the Oasis lead singer.
