Bombay Bicycle Club: 'We're Glad Liam Gallagher Insulted Us'

Band thank the former Oasis man...

Bombay Bicycle Club have said it was “a good thing” that Liam Gallagher criticised them.

In March, the former Oasis star slammed the band, and took specific aim at their name.

However, in an interview with XFM, singer Jack Steadman said they were unfazed by Gallagher’s remarks.

“We were thinking about changing the name of our band before he said those things,” he said.

“It was a quick solution. We didn’t think we’d ever have to worry about it or defend it – we were playing a gig and we just needed a name.”

Steadman said that the insult also proved that Gallagher had noticed the group.

“It’s a good thing to be insulted by Liam Gallagher. We’ve made it now,” he said.

“We’re on his radar. He doesn’t say anything nice about bands. It’s good to get a mention.”

Bombay Bicycle Club are set to release a new acoustic album, entitled 'Flaws', on July 12.

Noel Gallagher Has A Pop At Annie Lennox At Ivor Awards

Lord Noel Gallagher was on reliably mickey-taking form at the Ivors as he had a sly pop at Annie Lennox.

Eurythmics legend Annie presented Brit singer Imogen Heap with the International Achievement award.

And Annie used her time on the podium to say what a hard time female artists have in the male-dominated music industry. She said the most patronising question she was ever asked was about what it was like to be a woman in the rock world.

Later, former Oasis axeman Noel could not resist a dig at Annie as he presented Paul Weller with the Lifetime Achievement award.

He declared: "I am a man. A man in rock. People ask what it's like to be a man in rock and I say, 'It's aaaalllright'."

On This Day In Oasis History...

On May 21st 2001, Noel Gallagher was interviewed in Toronto, Canada for 'Much Music'.

The band were in North America for 'The Tour of Brotherly Love' featuring Oasis, The Black Crowes, and Spacehog. The three rock bands featured pairs of brothers: Noel and Liam Gallagher, Chris and Rich Robinson, Royston and Antony Langdon. The tour's title is a nod to the fact that all three pairs of brothers have been known to fight, sometimes physically, sometimes even publicly.

Originally scheduled for 21 dates across the United States and Canada, the three bands performed to capacity crowds in medium-sized arenas and concert halls, including a three-night stand at Radio City Music Hall in New York.

Noel Gallagher and Gem Archer of Oasis and the Langdon brothers of Spacehog joined The Black Crowes on stage at the end of most shows on the tour, performing covers of songs by Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones. Oasis drummer Alan White missed the tour with a thumb injury and was replaced by older brother Steve White.

Also broadcast on this day was 'MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch', click here to watch the fight.
