Liam Gallagher Stage Swagger Shows Beady Eye To Be An Engaging Live Act

Liam Gallagher with his stage swagger shows Beady Eye to be an engaging live act...

With his expertly curled lip and pugilist swagger,Liam Gallagher might be rock’s last true anti-hero. In an age of eager-to-please banjo thumpers and sub-Coldplay emoters, the Beady Eye frontman stands grumpily apart, a performer whose apparent indifference to the crowd’s baying adoration is part of the charm. The louder the audience roars his name, the less he appears to care. Neither party, you suspect, would have it any other way.

Scrambling free of the smoking wreckage of Oasis' 2009 break-up, Beady Eye - essentially the 90's Britpop institution minus songwriter Noel Gallagher - are agreeably cocksure while making music almost nobody can muster genuine enthusiasm for. The group’s steerage class commercial status is reflected in their current touring schedule.

Twelve months ago Noel, from whom Liam and his bandmates remain heartily estranged, was casually headlining arenas. Beady Eye, in contrast, are stuck on the middle-rung purgatory of 2,000 capacity theaters. After so many decades bestriding the world’s enormodomes, to be able to look fans in the eye is surely a curious experience for Liam.

Beady Eyes’ songs aren’t terrible. They just aren’t very Oasis.

Recorded with cult producer David Sitek (TV On The Radio) and released last summer, their second album BE blended soulful nuance and moody psychedelia. However, up against Oasis’ legacy a collection of solid album tracks won’t suffice, no matter that the tunes are delivered in the younger Gallagher’s signature sandpaper mewl. That has been the public response, at least. Despite kind reviews BE didn’t hang about the charts terribly long and is presently languishing in some dark, cold space outside the top 100.

If they have a future it is as an engaging live act rather than as a gilded hit machine. In front of a chanting, beer sloshing attendance their outlaw strut made for an endearing sight. Shouts of "Liamo Liamo" were ringing around before the five-piece even stepped out.

The moment they did, the excitement surged towards One Direction levels of giddiness. The vast throaty shriek that went up as Gallagher stalked the stage, stoically mopping his brow with a towel, was a strange mix of terrace roar and romantic swoon.

The essence of aging mod cool in their mirrorshades, rumpled parkas and leather trench-coats, Liam and his lieutenants (who seem to have had a competition to see who could cultivate the most impressive sideburns) opened with the Flick Of The Finger, a dapper marriage of Britrock and lulling Memphis horns. The experimental sensibility was elaborated on with the krautrock- inflected Second Bite of the Apple.

Switching the emotional setting to closing-hours ennui, Soul Love was introspective and bleakly wistful, the sort of twitchy ballad Gallagher probably couldn’t have written before the reversals and difficulties of life post-Oasis.

With an air of restlessness creeping in, Beady Eye bowed to expectations and bashed out Oasis’ Live Forever and Cigarettes and Alcohol (an encore tilt at The Rolling Stones’ Gimme Shelter completed the triptych of covers). Approaching the microphone in that iconic stoop, hands behind his back, Gallagher was undoubtedly a rock star among mortals. But it took a brace of 20-year-old Oasis smashes to really bring home the message.

Noel Gallagher Features On New 'Amorphous Androgynous' Album

The Amorphous Androgynous is the psychedelic rock-tronic supergroup created and produced by The Future Sound Of London.

Following on from their legendary and award winning (MOJO magazine compilation of the year) ''A Monstrous Psychedelic Bubble (Exploding In Your Mind)'' DJ series, The Amorphous Androgynous have started a parallel series called Monstrous Bubble Soundtracks which aims to explore groovy sub genres of the MPB concept, but rather than DJ/compile, they write and produce all the material themselves in a classic soundtrack vein.

The first one is ''The Cartel'' a study of psychsploitation (where psychedelia meets blaxploitation) and traces the lineage from Lalo Schifrin, Quincy Jones, Curtis Mayfield, John Barry, Ennio Morricone through to Oceans 12.

Aided and abetted by a stellar cast including Noel Gallagher himself on bass and guitar plus Raven Bush (of fast upcoming Canterbury folk psych band Syd Arthur) on violin plus the Amorphous Androgynous themselves (both as producers and band) adding all manner of sonic delights centred round a core collective of hammond, drums, violin, harp, flute, guitar, bass, brass and vibraphone The Cartel comes in two volumes with a third volume of remixes & reworkings from a whole host of invited guests and artists/producers to follow thereafter.

Win Tickets To See Beady Eye In A Tiny Venue

Beady Eye are the next band lined up for an intimate live session as part of XFM Presents with Ford SYNC.

The band are going to play the Ford SYNC studios in Leicester Square, London in front of just 30 winners. The session takes place on November 25.

Danielle Perry announced the news on The XFM Evening Show last night, with help from guitarist Gem Archer.

"It will be stripped down but not too naked. It's acoustic guitars but it's all the keyboards and the sounds and a little bit of precussion but Liam's voice," he said of the performance.

"That's kind of how we approached this album as well. We recorded with Liam singing with the band and if the vocal's a keeper - which nine times out of ten it was - then we just built around that

"It's not just going to be me and Liam or Andy and Liam it's the band. You say intimate, and I think that's a great idea. There is something to be said for playing quiet."

You'll be able to win tickets on The XFM Evening Show and on xfm.co.uk from Monday.

Beady Eye's Setlist From Dublin

Below is the setlist from Beady Eye's gig in Dublin last night, the setlist included two Oasis songs and also a cover of The Rolling Stone 'Gimme Shelter'. .

Beady Eye's Gem Archer Says He's Recovered From Fractured Skull

Gem Archer has talked for the first time about the injuries which caused Beady Eye to cancel performances in Belgium, Japan and at V Festival this summer.

Talking to NME ahead of the band's show at Dublin Olympia tonight (November 7), the first of their autumn Ireland and UK tour, a now-fully recovered Archer recounted how he slipped at home in August and fractured his skull, leading to a week in hospital.

He said: "The odd thing is I can't remember falling, or much after it. It was pretty serious, shall we say, and there are a lot of people affected by it, but it seems we're through it. My wife, certainly, and the kids… It was something I wouldn't wish on anybody. I almost feel I missed it all, but they didn't – they went through it and it was horrible."

He continued: "The second fall, two weeks after the first, I've since found out, isn't that uncommon for people who've fractured their skull. Once you've had that, there is the chance of falling again and breaking an arm and/or a leg. At least I didn't do both. It's one of those things. You could think yourself into a corner with these things, worrying, but I'm not one of those guys. I've never broken a bone in my body before this summer, and now I know what it feels like. I'd hate to repeat it. And when I speak to my mam and she's worried, I just have to say 'It could happen again but I'm still here'."

Thankfully now Archer is recovered and says he's "match fit" ahead of the tour starting. He said: "I am fine. In some ways more than fine. There are slight things I see differently, which is always a bonus in life. The weird thing is when I have my guitar strapped on I feel better than ever and walk around without even thinking about what I'm doing. When I don't have it on…there are certain parts of the day when I should have my guitar on to help me. But I am definitely match fit for these gigs."

"Whether I'm completely recovered, that's a different thing. For me, completely recovered would mean being able to run down the street faster than my son and I can't yet, but maybe those days are over anyway?"

He also promised Beady Eye's setlist would be different from the band's shows earlier this year, saying: "We've rehearsed enough stuff to change it up. We'll see, I don't know what tonight's setlist is, we'll see how the soundcheck goes, but we do have a few permutations. Even just for the band's sake it's good to change things and put new songs in, and then there are a lot of people who have already seen us this year."

Finally, he talked of Jon Brookes tribute concert organised by The Charlatans which took place at the Royal Albert Hall in October. On the night former Oasis guitartist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs stepped in to replace Archer, who watched from the side of the stage.

He said: "It wasn't frustrating, it was weird for everyone else but me, I think. I loved it, and there's no way I could've done it anyway. To see them step up, and Bonehead get up like that, was a bit of a moment."

Liam Gallagher's 'Pretty Green' Launch A New Collection To Raise Funds For The 'Teenage Cancer Trust'

We’re proud to introduce ‘The White Guitar Collection’ our latest collaboration with Teenage Cancer Trust and Gorillaz artist Jamie Hewlett.

The three limited edition designs created by Jamie Hewlett depict classic guitar poses inspired by three rock idols. Featuring Phil Lynott, hell raising frontman of Thin Lizzy, the legendary Pete Townshend of The Who and the original 'modfather' Paul Weller the collaboration plays on both Teenage Cancer Trust and Pretty Green's rich music heritage.

Pretty Green has a long standing relationship with the Teenage Cancer Trust , in 2011 we designed and sold the Tambourine Limited edition T-shirt. The T-shirt was a huge success and Liam was delighted to personally present a cheque to the charity. It has been a cause that Liam has been involved with for a number of years and has performed at concerts both in Oasis, and latterly Beady Eye.

Hewlett, who has a long standing relationship with the charity, is the comic book artist and creator of Tank Girl and co-creator of virtual band Gorillaz. One of his main involvements with TCT was creating a logo which is now synonymous with the charity.

The unique designs for ‘The White Guitar Collection’ include strong graphics emblazoned across the Pretty Green T-shirts in red, green and blue and details such as the back neck tape and guitar logo inside the T-Shirt. These are set to become a real collector’s item.
