Blur And Oasis For Euro Rock Band

No comments














It looks as if the long-long-awaited European release of Rock Band will benefit from a track list tailored to its new market, with an alternative song list spotted by attendees at Play.com Live last weekend (the game being one of the main attractions).

According to ButtonBandits, EA staff showing off the game had a track list that included the likes of Beetlebum by Blur, Rock 'n' Roll Star by Oasis, Through the Monsoon by Tokyo Hotel and Hysteria by Muse.

Manu Chao by Les Wamaps, L'Aventurier by Indochine, and New Wave by Playmo was hinted for the French version, Germans getting Hier Kommt Alex by Die Toten Hosen, Perfekte Welle by Juli, and Countdown to Insanity by H-Block X.
A selection of other Euro-favourites are hinted alongside these, so we'll keep you posted as we learn more.

Liam Gallagher Is A True Blue Supporter

No comments



















Liam Gallagher looks like he has finally rid himself of all his rock-star pretensions – by declaring himself a fan of the former boyband Blue.

The Oasis star confessed his love to former Blue star Duncan James at a lavish reception­ party for London PR couple Niki de Metz and Charlie Lycett.

“He was telling Duncan he was really sorry that Blue were no longer going,” says an onlooker. “He was telling him that his kids love Blue’s music and that they all used to jump around the house singing and dancing to them.”

Liam and his brother Noel were the biggest names at the Landmark Hotel for the glitzy bash, which included dinner, a live performance from Sugababes­, and an after party where guests including Duran­ Duran’s Nick Rhodes, Meera Syal, Angela Griffin and Holly Willoughby got down until 6am.
Liam also appeared to have moved on from his formerly boozy ways.

“Liam didn’t seem like he was drunk at all,” says our source. “He was putting the chef’s hat on Duncan’s­ head, saying, ‘now that you’re unemployed­, you can be my chef for the night’.”

Let The Record Show! McKee’s New Music-Themed Artwork

No comments



















‘Pop artist’ Pete McKee will be living up to his title with a preview show of new retrospective paintings featuring fans, fashions and famous faces from Sheffield’s music scene.

The Human League, Jarvis Cocker and Arctic Monkeys are among the names getting the McKee treatment in ‘33 and 1/3’ – Pete’s first Sheffield show of new artwork in over a year.

Also reflected in Pete’s new paintings are the fashions associated with music genres and styles such as Mods and Rockers. Meanwhile, former city venues of yesteryear are also depicted including nightclubs The Limit and Mojo – which was opened by Peter Stringfellow and, in its 1960s heyday, played host to live concerts by many well known bands.

The launch event will be held at the Forum Café and Bar, 127-129 Devonshire Street, Sheffield, on Sunday April 13th from 8pm, when the works will be available – for one night only – at a special exhibition-themed price of £333. After the launch, the originals will revert to the normal price of £600.

Each of the 33 and a third paintings is 12” X 12” LP-sized, in keeping with the music theme of ‘33 and 1/3’ - the rotation frequency or ‘RPM’ of vinyl albums.

The ‘third’ of a painting in the collection title is an unfinished picture featuring a record player and album sleeve which will be customised especially for its owner by the artist. The buyer can choose the record they want to see featured and Pete will personally finish the painting for them.
Said Pete: “The exhibition is based on my love of music and the themes of the paintings range from being in famous bands to buying records, gig-going and fan culture.”

Pete’s work is admired by a growing army of high-profile music names including Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher, Richard Hawley and Arctic Monkeys.

McKee’s new paintings are inspired by the Sheffield music scene and celebrate fandom as well as famous faces.

‘The Mods’: A life devoted to clothes as cool as the music.

‘We Love You Marc’: Our kids don't believe that we, too, once fell in love with our heroes.

Liam Gallagher Does His Bit For Charity

No comments
















He's a nice fella really, that Liam Gallagher.

I spotted the one-time bad boy dropping off loads of his and wife Nicole Gallagher's old clothes at a charity shop in North London.

The big-hearted Oasis star even helped the assistant to take the goodies into the back room too.

Rare Zanzibar Club Bootleg From 2003 Surfaces

No comments













On May 3, 2003, Noel Gallagher took to the stage and performed his historic gig at the Zanzibar club in Liverpool. Prior to the gig, he had taken the opportunity in several radio interviews to promote the greatness of the newly written song “Stop the Clocks.” In the middle of his set list that night, in between performing “Talk Tonight” and “Wonderwall”, and then “Don’t Look Back in Anger” and “Married With Children”, Noel performed the song he had spoken so much about, and a legend was born.

Over the years, an audio recording of the Zanzibar concert never surfaced. Some fans even began to doubt that the concert ever took place, or that the song had been performed that night.

L4E has obtained a recording of Wonderwall (*recorded at the Zanzibar club in 2003). Noel can clearly be heard introducing Stop the Clocks on it.

After the song, Noel says: “Thank you... so anyway.” Then Noel plays a chord on the acoustic guitar and utters the words that the crowd will never forget: "This next song is called 'Stop the Clocks.'" During the song, Gem is playing what sounds like backwards guitar with reverb or an echo effect. It's different than the backwards guitar heard in the song "Who Feels Love", but has the same psychedelic feel, with bongo drums being played by Terry.
