Tony McCarroll On The Oasis Tour, New Website And More

No comments

Tony McCarroll has made a social media post today on his X account here and Instagram here about the upcoming Oasis tour.

2025 is shaping up alright, isn't it?! 

Almost a lifetime ago, a few Burnage lads got together and created something special. Something that time can never out date, the start of a wave that's evidently still rolling with the last real band before the world changed. 

Oasis captured the time and minds of the people; we were the same as them and they felt it. The connection. 

Over the last year or two, I've noticed something new in the gig and QnA crowds.... youth. The circle has started again lads. A new generation ready to start a journey of listening.  I’m a bit jealous of that blank canvas they're about to start on. 

 In these times, these boys coming back as one will help a lot more of our younger generation than we could even guess. 

So, I'd like to put these words out there directly in 2025. 

‘Lads, the world is excited to see this, it's all people are talking about. The time 'feels' right, I can't wait to see how it all goes down. 

Liam, Noel, Bone, Gem.... (I better stop there as I'm not sure who else) - Good luck with everything and don't forget to stop and take it in! …

If the drummer fancies a stage partner for Supersonic at Heaton Park, give us a buzz ;) 

What we started back in The Boardwalk days, has become this. 

Be proud. I f*ckin am!
Enjoy it

So about last night...we played an oasis song with an oasis founding member.

As a tribute band that was an unbelievable situation to find ourselves in. Totally unplanned and totally unrehearsed.

"Shakermaker" is a song by British rock group Oasis, written by their lead guitarist Noel Gallagher. First appearing as a single, released on the 13th June 1994, which peaked at number 11 in the UK charts, it was later released on Oasis' groundbreaking debut album Definitely Maybe. It was also the first song performed by the band on the UK's world famous music program, Top Of The Pops.

Gallagher admits the lyrics are taken from the world around him, for example, a Shaker Maker was a popular toy in the 1970s, the character of "Mr Soft" was taken from a Trebour Soft Mints commercial, which featured Cockney Rebel's song "Mr Soft", "Mr. Clean" is a song by The Jam, one of Gallagher's favourite bands, "Mr Benn" is a British children's cartoon and the entire last verse - Mr Sifter sold me songs/When I was just 16/Now he stops at traffic lights/But only when they're green - was written in a taxi on the way to the recording studio to record the song. Apparently, Liam Gallagher was pestering Noel to finish the song. At this point, the taxi stopped at the traffic lights outside 'Sifter's"' (a record shop in Burnage, Manchester). Noel penned the lyric and it became part of the song. Noel used to frequent the store to buy old records before Oasis started releasing albums and Mr Sifter refers to the owner of the record store.

Music Video

The field they are playing football in is Didsbury Toc H rugby field in Ford Lane (Didsbury South Manchester) near Fletcher moss.

The Album Liam shows to the camera is Paul McCartney's Red Rose Speedway from 1973.

Gem Archer to Q in April 2000 on his favourite Oasis songs to play live.

"Shakermaker. It's bang on. I've always thought that was a really good attitude, rip off the Coca-Cola song and have it large. It's cheeky psychedelia. And Champagne Supernova. We all go "Tune!"

On the back of Oasis' 'Shakermaker' single everything appears to be normal.

On the front you can see @Microdot66 hand pressing play on an stereo with an Oasis cassette inside. The concept was that when the music came out of the speakers it melted all the objects in the room.
