Beady Eye To Play A Tiny Instore Gig In London Next Week

Beady Eye have announced that they will play a tiny instore gig at London's Rough Trade East.

The band will take to the stage at the east London record shop at 7pm on June 10. Wristbands will be available on the day for fans who pick up a copy of the band's new album 'BE' in store on a one-per-purchase basis. Any remaining wristbands will be given out an hour prior to stage time.

Beady Eye release 'BE', their follow-up to 2011's 'Different Gear, Still Speeding', on the day of the instore gig. The album was produced by TV On The Radio's Dave Sitek, whom frontman Liam Gallagher recently declared "the bollocks".

In a recent interview Gallagher delivered a message to diehard Oasis fans planning to boycott the album. He said: "We've made a great rock and roll album but sometimes I feel there's a lot of people just fucking boycotting what Beady Eye do just for some stupid fucking reason. 'We'll boycott that shit no matter what they do because it ain't Oasis and we want Oasis' and all that kind of thing. Well fuck you! We've experimented or whatever it is, what more do you fucking want?"

Beady Eye will play live at Manchester Ritz on June 19 before heading to London for a show at Camden Centre on June 20. The short stint will then come to a close in Glasgow at the ABC on June 22. The band have lined up festival slots at V Festival, Benicassim and T In The Park this summer.

Yet Another Review Of Beady Eye's Album 'BE'

In the lead up to this release, Beady Eye’s Liam Gallagher made yet another bold claim.

BE, he said, was the album Oasis should’ve made after (What’s The Story) Morning Glory?.

But for once, there’s a little truth behind the bravado.

That’s because on BE, Beady Eye (aka Oasis without the elder Gallagher) does something Oasis never really did – experiment.

To expand their horizons for the follow up to 2011′s Different Gear, Still Speeding, Beady Eye teamed up with TV On The Radio’s Dave Sitek. He proves to be an inspired choice.

Of all the tracks here, it’s “Flick Of The Finger” that best showcases Beady Eye Mk II.

The album opener is an optimistic call to arms and hopefully a signpost of things to come. It features an aggressive horn section, eerie synths and the key lyric, “the future gets written today”.

Further along, the Liam-penned “Don’t Brother Me” could’ve been an olive branch to Noel if it weren’t for a few snarky one-liners.

“Always in the sun, with your number one,” Liam snarls before adding, “sick of all your lying, scheming and your crying”.

But later he seems keen to bury the hatchet. “In the morning, I’ll be calling and hoping you’ll understand,” Gallagher croons until a spacey lengthy instrumental outro.

Other highlights include the bluesy, slow-burner “Soon Come Tomorrow”, closing ballad “Start Anew”, and “Soul Love”, a dark, atmospheric song Oasis would’ve never recorded in their pomp.

Still, the album is let down down by a few clunkers.

Forgettable rocker “Face The Crowd” is all swagger and no substance while the campfire strummer “Ballroom Figured” is more b-side material than anything else.

Regardless, BE is imbued with a sense of discovery and adventure, something recent Gallagher releases have sorely missed.

Liam Gallagher Is Up For A Return To Oasis In 2015

Liam Gallagher has not ruled out the possibility of an Oasis reunion in 2015 to mark the 20th anniversary of the band’s landmark second album ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?'.

Noel Gallagher has spoken on numerous occasions during recent interviews of his wish to celebrate the LP’s 20th birthday with a special world tour, but said any dates would now be unlikely to happen due to their split in 2009 and the apparent reluctance of Liam to be a part of any reformation.

However, in an interview with Rolling Stone this week, the younger Gallagher brother has opened the door for the tour to go ahead, provided the siblings can ‘put their shit aside’.

“In 2015, if we can put our shit aside, we can tour and play the album in its entirety for the 20th anniversary,” he said. “I’d be up for that, if it’s on our terms. There’s got to be two-way respect.”

Released just over a year after debut ‘Definitely Maybe‘, ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory’s move away from the rawer, heavier sound of its predecessor into more classic, anthemic stadium rock was initially met with a mixed response from critics, but soon became one of the most commercially successful British albums of all time on the back of era-defining singles such as ‘Wonderwall‘ and ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger‘.

Noel Gallagher’s Prize Possession Is?

He has won world wide acclaim for his moody rock guitar riffs – and rowing with his brother.

Yet former Oasis front man Noel Gallagher’s prize possession is... a Blue Peter badge.

The 46 year-old father-of-two’s devotion to his treasured award was revealed by one-time presenter of the children’s show, Katy Hill.

And Katy, who was staying in Birmingham while presenting Heart FM’s breakfast show with Ed James, further revealed that Noel used the badge to goad his younger brother, and fellow Oasis member, Liam – and rock star pals, including Paul Weller.

Katy met the band while she was filming for Blue Peter at the Space Centre in Florida.

“Oasis were at the same hotel and Noel left a note at reception saying, ‘please can I have a badge’,” she says. “Controversially I only left one for him, and not for Liam. So apparently he, like, slept with it next to his bed.

“And when he had dinner parties and stuff, I think Paul Weller came round, and he would say ‘I want your badge’.

“I’m always amazed by the power of the Blue Peter badge!

“It’s a part of all of our childhoods and no matter how big a star you are, It still haunts you that you never got one!”

Katy’s 1997 meeting with Oasis was just one of an array of showbiz tales Katy revealed on Heart Breakfast last week.

Stone Roses Reunion Got Liam Gallagher A Wee Bit Excited

Liam Gallagher’s toilet mat needed a boil wash after The Stone Roses announced their comeback.

During his cameo in the Manchester band’s movie documenting their return, he revealed his exact location when he heard the news.

Liam said: “I was having a p*** when I heard The Stone Roses were getting back together.”

He went on to explain how he lost control before adding: “They’re the best band ever to come out of Manchester.”

The Beady Eye frontman missed the premiere of The Stone Roses: Made Of Stone movie in the city on Thursday.

But hopefully director Shane Meadows sent him a copy on DVD because the film – out on June 5 – is a work of art. The opening and closing sequences featuring Ian Brown will make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck, and intimate footage of the band rehearsing is a real treat. However, the pick of many highlights is footage of the Roses’ comeback gig at Parr Hall, Warrington.

Shane had cameras outside the venue when news of the surprise gig was announced on Radio 1 and the band’s Facebook and Twitter pages.

Fans were asked to bring their Stone Roses memorabilia to the venue to get for a free ticket.

A builder turned up saying he’d “just knocked through a wall” but downed tools to claim a ticket still in his overalls. Another punter showed off sweat patches under his arms to show how fast he’d run.

A number of fans were filmed on their phones asking family to ferry over their CDs. The scenes are topped off with live footage of the comeback gig for 1,500 fans.

Add this to rarely seen archive material documenting the band’s history, footage of the group on the road and brilliant concert coverage and the film is well worth a watch – even if you’re not a Roses fan.
