Beady Eye To Play Mallorca Rocks

Tickets available now at www.mallorcarocks.com

With Liam Gallagher at the helm - an icon to the Rocks generation - we're excited to announce that the awesome Beady Eye are on a crash course with the Balearics for a colossal show to celebrate our 3rd Birthday in Mallorca.

Formed in 2009 as a side project following the infamous split of Oasis Beady Eye have been going from strength to strength ever since. Fronted by Liam Gallagher's trademark swagger the Manchester five piece toured across the globe last year with debut album 'Different Gear, Still Speeding' culminating in a performance at the London 2012 Closing ceremony in front of an estimated auidence of 750 million people. With some massive festival appearances planned for this summer already we can't wait for them to debut tracks from their hugely anticipated second album BE (and maybe throw a few Oasis songs for good measure) on the Rocks stage this July.

Joining Beady Eye for a wild night at the Rocks are a band currently taking the live circuit by storm. A favourite at Rocks HQ Temples have been quietly building a reputation for themselves as ones to watch in 2013 with their awesome first track 'Shelter Song' mixing elements of indie, classic and psychedelic rock.

Liam Gallagher’s post-Oasis band Beady Eye have announced a show at Dublin’s Olympia Theatre this November.

Tickets, priced €37.05 (including booking fee), go on sale this Friday, July 5, at 9.00am for the November 7 gig. Beady Eye opened last weekend’s Glastonbury and have just released their second album BE, which peaked at No 4 in Ireland.

The band, which also includes former Ride guitar hero Andy Bell, former Heavy Stereo man Gem Archer, and Chris Sharrock, played two Oasis songs, Rock 'N' Roll Star and Morning Glory, at Glasto with Gallagher telling the crowd, "Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star – at 11.30 in the ******* morning!" He also dedicated the song to his sons, Lennon and Gene.

This will be Beady Eye’s first gig in Ireland in two years - not quite the standard set by Noel Gallagher, who has played five gigs over here with his High Flying Birds in the past year-and-a-half.

On This Day In Oasis History...

Heathen Chemistry is the fifth studio album by English rock band Oasis, first released on July 1st 2002. It sold over 1 million copies in the UK, ending up in the top ten best selling albums of 2002, and about 4 million worldwide as of 2005.

Heathen Chemistry was received more warmly than the previous Oasis album, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants, by both fans and critics alike. It spawned four singles, each of which made the top three in the UK charts: "The Hindu Times", their sixth number one single in the UK, "Stop Crying Your Heart Out", a song made famous as it was played on the BBC when the English football team were knocked out of the World Cup, the Double A-Side, sung by Noel — "Little By Little/She Is Love" — and "Songbird", the first single written by Liam.

This album was the last one to feature the band's longtime drummer, Alan White, who left in early 2004, with Noel Gallagher claiming White's commitment to the band wasn't up to scratch. He was effectively replaced with Ringo Starr's son, Zak Starkey.





















Album History

The title of the album, according to Noel, came from a t-shirt he bought in Ibiza which featured a logo reading, "The Society of Heathen Chemists". Similarly, the name of the first single, "The Hindu Times", originated from a logo on a t-shirt that read the same thing, which Noel saw during a photo shoot for GQ's 100 Greatest Guitarists edition. The name was given to the track when it was just an instrumental, as all the instrumentals of this album were given actual titles as opposed to "Instrumental 1", etc., and the name stuck once the track was finished.

The album was recorded during 2001–early 2002, and was the first studio album written and recorded with the two new members, bassist Andy Bell and rhythm guitarist Gem Archer. Bell and Archer wrote one track each, and Liam Gallagher contributed three, thus the album signalled the end of Noel Gallagher songs dominating Oasis albums (though Liam had contributed "Little James" to Standing on the Shoulder of Giants).

The release of the album was overshadowed by an internet leak of all 11 tracks almost three months prior to release. However, listeners of the commercially released album heard slight differences to two tracks, "Little By Little" and "Better Man".

My Manchester United: Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs

Manchester band Oasis are one of the biggest UK acts of the last 20 years. Noel and Liam Gallagher are massive Blues, but ex-guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs is staunchly Red...

When and why did you first start supporting United?
Probably about 1973. My dad was an amateur referee, so football was always a big deal in our house. He was a big Manchester City fan and my brother was a massive United fan – he still is, but doesn’t get to matches anymore as he lives in the USA. I lived about two miles from City’s ground; everyone I knew supported them, so my first experience of going to a game was at Maine Road. I was drawn to United as more of a rebellion against everyone else. It was good to wind up friends and family – my sister was, and still is, a big City fan.

Can you remember the first home game you attended?
My first game was against Everton in 1976, so I was about 11. I went with an older cousin. United won 4-0. I can’t recall who scored. [Jimmy Greenhoff, Gordon Hill, Lou Macari and Stuart Pearson all got on the scoresheet, on 27 December 1976.]

How difficult was it being a Red in Oasis, with Noel and Liam being such big City fans?
Not too difficult – as obviously they couldn’t shout about much on a Saturday because they hardly ever won! Tony McCarroll, our first drummer, was a Red as well. If you look at the tickets we had printed for the gig at Maine Road, you’ll notice we’re not on them. Total refusal! As for playing at Maine Road, I don’t think football and who I supported came into it for me. It was a ground I was familiar with, as I’d been to many a match there with mates, and to walk out onto the stage and see 40,000 people cheering for us was a feeling I’ll never forget. It could have been Stockport County’s ground and I’d still have been overwhelmed.

Who are your most disliked opponents?
I’d have to say Liverpool. I’ve nothing against Liverpudlians, but the fans used to terrorise our neighbourhood when I was young. And living close to Maine Road scared me to death.

What’s your favourite United memory?
Beating Liverpool in the FA Cup final in 1977, without a doubt.

And your favourite United goal?
Eric Cantona against Arsenal in 1993. I know a few Arsenal fans and they don’t like being reminded!

Do you get to matches much?
The last game I went to was Bryan Robson’s testimonial against Celtic. My mate Lee caught his boot at the end when he threw it into the crowd. He has it in a glass case now. After I left school I stopped going to the match. I’m an armchair supporter now, but still glued to the results on a Saturday.

Have you ever met any of the players?
Yes, I was out drinking with Roy Keane in my local pub in about 2001. We used to get a few players at gigs, but they tended to hide up in the posh seats away from Noel and Liam.

How do you think United will do next season?
I’d say they’ll win the league again for sure. The FA Cup is due, and hopefully they’ll do well in Europe.

Beady Eye On Playing Glastonbury And More

Below is an interview with Beady Eye after the band kicked off events at the Glastonbury Festival.

Liam Gallagher Loved Beady Eye's Glastonbury Set

Liam Gallagher has said that he feels he is "back in the room" after Beady Eye's secret set at Glastonbury.

The band played the much-rumoured show on the Other Stage at 11am today (June 28), despite the singer having dismissed the festival as "Bond Street with mud" in 2011.

Quizzed about their set this morning, Gallagher told Digital Spy: "Loved it. I think a lot of people liked it.

"As long as people are listening that's the main thing. People turned out to see it."

He added: "What happened there was really nice and comfortable. It feels like at Glastonbury we're now back in the room.

"Last time I sung that time in the morning I was in the f**king shower, getting groovy with a bar of soap."

His bandmate Gem Archer said that he had known about the set for "months" and was surprised news of the slot had not leaked sooner, before adding that the show had "lived up to expectations".

Guitarist Andy Bell claimed it was their best ever Glastonbury moment.

"I saw New Order here in '87, but this beats that," the ex-Ride and Hurricane #1 star said. "We didn't know if anyone would be there or what."

Of the response from fans to new album BE, Gallagher said: "Our fans seem to like it.

"We played three gigs and they know all the words. If others jump on board, great, but if they don't it doesn't matter."

Bell agreed: "We feel like we've got a hardcore fanbase now."

Of the possibility of making new music with producer Dave Sitek, Gallagher said; "We'll see. We'll see. Who knows what's around the corner?"

Liam Gallagher Says Oasis Reunion 'Will Happen When It'll Happen'

The subject of whether Oasis will ever reunite is a favorite of speculation among rock fans. For Liam Gallagher's part though, he isn't rushing it. The former Oasis member and Beady Eye frontman spoke with Digital Spy and said that while he and brother Noel don't speak, he could see a reunion happening eventually.

Liam said, "Me and our kid [Noel] still don't speak. Gem [Archer] and the lads still speak. Without being fucking hippy, it'll happen when it'll happen. If the musical gods want it to happen...Wherever it'll be, it will be big. But who's to say it should be big? Maybe it'll be small. If it does happen, we'll be match-fit."

Liam Gallagher Enjoys A Quiet Pint Before Glastonbury Appearance

He swore he would never play Glastonbury again after headlining with Oasis nearly ten years ago – but yesterday Liam Gallagher's Beady Eye kicked off events at the festival.

With the words "Get in" and a moment of silence while he surveyed the crowds, the singer launched into Flick Of The Finger, the first song to be heard on the Other Stage at Worthy Farm this year.

Despite the relatively early hour and the mud underfoot, thanks to a downpour of rain that lasted all night, thousands of people turned out to see the band. Their performance was unbilled but Gallagher had dropped heavy hints about it on his Twitter account.

Although the Mancunian was wearing sunglasses, they were mostly not needed as grey clouds hovered over the Somerset site, with the sun trying to break out.

The biggest cheers came for Oasis hit Rock 'N' Roll Star and, perhaps aptly for the time of day, What's The Story Morning Glory, which turned into a mass singalong.

Fan Hayley Storey, 30, from Leeds, said: "We only came this way because we wanted a beer – we'd not heard they were playing. It's a great way to open the festival. I'm so glad they did Oasis stuff too."

Chris Goode, 35, from Greenwich, south-east London, said: "It was quite a surprise to see them. It was just luck. I didn't think Liam would be up this early in the morning. I bet he's not even been to bed yet."

It seems the singer was also surprised to be awake, grumbling to the crowd at one point: "11.30 in the ******* morning."

But he later added: "It's never too early for a bit of rock and roll echo."

He had previously complained about the sound system at the festival after Oasis played on the Pyramid stage in 2004.

Gallagher apologised to festival goers for making their headaches worse if they had one, and told them with his typical swagger as the set came to a close: "You've been amazing. But not as good as us.

"Have a good day, weekend, life."

His partner, Nicole Appleton, was among those watching. at the side.

Before his appearance at the festival, Gallagher stunned locals at a Somerset pub when he stopped in for a pint. He popped in to the Crossways Inn at Burnham-on-Sea where he sought out a corner of the room for a low-profile drink.

The pub's Jaime Wallace said: "Liam and another person spent about an hour having a drink in a quiet corner of the pub.

"He certainly took us by surprise, but it was great to see him here on his way to the festival."

Liam Gallagher Says Glastonbury's Always Been Cool, It's Just Me. I'm Full Of It

Liam Gallagher's band Beady Eye were the surprise opening act on The Other Stage with a raucous set at 11:00 BST.

"It's never too early for a bit of rock'n'roll aggro, is it?" asked Gallagher, as his band launched into Oasis hit Morning Glory.

Other acts playing on Friday include Chic and headliners The Arctic Monkeys.

After a day of rain, the clouds broke around midday, apparently conjured up by the sun-bleached rock of US sibling trio Haim. By the end of their set, raincoats were being traded for suncream.

The sun came out in time for fans to watch Jake Bugg's afternoon set
About 180,000 fans have gathered at the 900-acre Worthy farm for the festival, which has been largely peaceful so far, with 107 reported crimes and 61 arrests.

Somerset police say there have also been 32 drug related offences reported, 12 of which were for possession of restricted substances.

Liam Gallagher's early morning set was something of a turnaround for the former Oasis frontman, who previously headlined the festival in 1995 and 2004.

The latter appearance was not well-received, and Gallagher later claimed the festival was "full of idiots".

But after Friday's performance, the singer told the BBC "Glastonbury's back in the good books. I just had a bad experience, but now it's cool again.

"It's always been cool, it's just me. I'm full of it."

He added that playing such an early starting time on the Friday morning had been something of a surprise.

"Someone just asked us - do you fancy going on at 11 o'clock, and we thought, why not? We've headlined it, we've done all that. It's time to do something different.

"I absolutely loved it, I mean it. I thought 11 o'clock could be really ropey but I thought we done well, man."
