Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds rocked the historic Palais Theatre in St Kilda, Melbourne in front of a sold-out crowd last night.
The Oasis head honcho arrived onstage to a standing ovation from a crowd of enthusiastic fans and celebrities including Jet's Mark Wilson.
Triple M's Dangerous Dave said the old Palais proved to be the perfect venue to see Noel, apart from the fact that the lower level is all seated which Noel pulled people up on after the fourth song.
"Why are you all seated? That's a bit weird...," he said.
The fans didn't need anymore convincing than that to get on their feet for the rest of the gig.
The High Flying Birds sounded awesome. The musicianship was as tight as a drum, while the songs roared.
As the band launched into "The Death Of You And Me" Dangerous Dave leaned over and said, 'this will be the next single', and Dave knows his stuff. You can check it out here, get on it!
In the mix with some new songs there was a decent spattering of Oasis songs to keep the punters happy.
Ending the gig with "Don't Look Back In Anger" the Oasis fave had everybody singing at the top of their voices, while waving their hands in the air.
There were occasional bursts of people shouting out requests for their favourite songs but Noel would have nothing of it.
"I'm not doing requests. So you can stop shouting out," he said with a grin. "I had to work on this setlist for 20 minutes last June."
Setlist:
(It's Good) To Be Free
Mucky Fingers
Everybody's on the Run
Dream On
If I Had a Gun
The Good Rebel
The Death of You and Me
Freaky Teeth
Whatever
Supersonic
(I Wanna Live in a Dream in My) Record Machine
What a Life!
Talk Tonight
Soldier Boys and Jesus Freaks

From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.
Well… So? I've become addicted to watching the Aussie news. It's beyond hilarious.
Honestly, it's like a spoof show "AUSSIE NEWS (MATE)". Someone should do that, it'd be mega. I'd watch it anyway.
After the ludicrous episode with the PM's shoe these are just a couple of things that I've caught in between gigs and promo…
THE AUSSIE COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS!!! Yes, indeed. They've invented a new musical genre. Aussie Country. So I'm watching the news and they go to the Aussie Country Awards (The Golden Guitars) where they're interviewing some of the winners of the said Golden Guitars… They were singing like Country, y'all, but talking Aussie (mate). Dressed like proper honest-to-goodness cowboys. 40 gallon hats, leather waistcoats and the boots, but using words like "ripper" and "beady"… Very odd, no??
Now the other thing was maybe the weirdest thing I've ever seen on national television news. So much so that when I got down to the Big Day Out site I had to ask a few of the natives for confirmation of what I thought I'd just seen. And they confirmed it like it was the most natural thing in the world, which of course it is to these people. THE ANNUAL TUNA-RAMA FESTIVAL!!!! A festival that celebrates all things wonderful about tuna… TUNA??? That's right, tuna… The tuna fish.
Now, there was the (un)usual local news b-roll fodder; interviewing mums, grannies and kids… All having a ripper of a day eating tuna sandwiches and tuna salad and... Well, that was it one would've thought? But no… At the climax of the festival they play a little game called tuna-hurling… TUNA-HURLING!!!! That's right, I watched (checking frantically if I'd been spiked) as big burly Bruces and little burly Shielas and even a granny took a foot long tuna fish… a real fucking tuna fish and swung it round like an Olympic athlete throwing the hammer up a pre-marked out track?!!?
And they covered it on the news like it was just a load of drunk people in a field throwing a dead fish around for fun… Which, of course, it was.
The scary thing is those were just two of the things I caught. (There was another story with a guy graphically describing how he'd been trying to get two different kinds of dung beetles to mate to make one super dung fucking ninja warrior but, we won't go into that…)
What else is going on while I'm away from the TV?? I might have to start getting this shit recorded and shipped to England once a month, it's essential viewing.
Anyway, enough of that brilliant nonsense.
The gig was good. We were indoors in a tent. It was very, very hot. Seemed to be a bit of a fancy dress vibe down the front. I saw a pirate and a cowboy. We didn't play very well. No one seemed to mind though.
Kasabian were having one of their legendary parties at some club or other down town. Last men standing were me and Serge at 5am. A good shift. As we left it was starting to get light… and fuck me if it didn't start to ever-so-slightly rain… I didn't know whether to laugh or cry so I did neither… I passed out.
Still raining now.
ONWARDS.
GD.

Biffy Clyro
Liam Gallagher
.....Biffy Clyro, the globe-trotting band have become Scotland’s hottest rock band in recent years, but James isn’t getting cocky about the success.
“Er, pass,” James answered when asked if they are Scotland’s top rock export. “It’s awkward to talk about. It’s a nice thing to hear, but it’s not something we think about or ever dreamed about really. I wish we were more outspoken like Liam Gallagher. I love his patter.
“He is actually a really nice guy. We bumped into Liam and Noel when we were in Los Angeles a few years back. We were in the same studio and went to see The Duke Spirit.
“Alan McGee was there and a big bunch of us together. We all went down to a reggae bar.
“Liam knew our songs and sang three of them then Noel got on stage and started singing. They were all pretty drunk at the time.”
He added: “Playing in places that are unknown always makes for a different experience. Abroad, the concerts are more like organised chaos than we are used to here.

Noel Gallagher
From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.
Yes…
So, been out of the game for a couple of days AGAIN!!
Here goes… What day is it today? …Friday? Saturday? Fuck knows.
The last time we spoke I was in Sydney, right? Just getting ready for The Big Day Out?
Well… Woke up that morning and guess what? That's right, it was pissing down… I mean what IS the point of Australia while it's raining? There is no point. I'm staggered by the weather. "Oh, fuck off!" to the sky, said I.
'Twas a big day for the Aussies. Australia Day. It's a day where they celebrate all things Australian… Whatever that means. Still part of the blimmin' Empire, if you ask me, innit? Sydney Harbour was full of boats and ships. Spectacular. There was cannons going off and even a fly past by the Aussie air force (mate!)... IN THE RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was a bit of a scene with the Aussie PM (some ginger Sheila). She got a bit roughed up by some protesters and had to be bundled into a car that looked like a taxi. Thing is, she lost one of her shoes!! Like Cinderella!! The news went in heavy on the protesters… (What a scandal… No… Not sandal… They didn't make it clear what style of shoe it was!!!)
By the time I got down to the festival site to continue my battle of wits with the Aussie media (mate), Kasabian had been and gone!! Heard they were good though.
My gig was really bloody good (mate). Had a pair of ladies knickers thrown on stage and a top hat!! I do hope they came from the same person!!
Legged it early the next day and arrived here in Melbourne (mate). And guess what? No… You're wrong see, because it's bloody boiling (mate). Yes sir!! The sun has got his hat on, and it's got little corks dangling round the rim!!
They still have that Jerry Springer on TV down here. Forgot how psychedelic that programme is. There was a threesome on it called… "Sha-toya" and "Jo-neesa" and a guy whose name was "Country". Mega. I laughed until it wasn't funny anymore.
So then I stopped and turned on the news. Turns out the big story building was about "the shoe".
"Where is the PM's shoe?" They asked.
"Who's got the shoe?" They pleaded.
"We must find the shoe!!".
Had a bit of a mooch around and about (didn't find the shoe). Not much going on here, but by the time I got back to the hotel THE SHOE HAD BEEN FOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was a brilliant Monty Python-esque moment were they went live to the actual shoe being handed over to the authorities by what looked like a protester…
"There you go Cinders, you shall go to the ball," I thought.
Except she didn't. She went to the tennis. To see Andy Murray lose… AGAIN!!!
ONWARDS.
GD.
PS: Dunno what all the fuss was about. The shoe was bobbins. A black suede wedge?? Not this season...(mate).

Reverend And The Makers
Noel Gallagher has a cunning plan to fill his kids' trust fund – launching an online business naming babies and dogs for cash.
As ever, it's not to be taken too seriously – his head is full of nonsense.
But if the High Flying Birds singer decided to, he could make a pretty penny from all the fans who ask him to name their pets and children.
He joked: "For a long time now I've been naming animals.
"People keep asking me to give them names.
"More recently that's extended to naming and even blessing babies.
"I really want to start an internet business out of it.
"Send me the picture and 100 quid and I'll provide the name and the blessing.
"This ability to come up with names and bless babies has crept up slowly.
"One day you're not doing it then you're doing three a day. It's a by-product of who I am.
"But I won't be known as Reverend Gallagher – it'll be the Very Reverend Gallagher!
"There might even be some tax benefits in it."
John McClure, from Reverend and The Makers, is supporting Noel later this year.
They should start their own firm – Gallagher & McClure.
It's got a bit of a ring to it...
