May, 18 2010
Since Noel Gallagher left Oasis, his brother Liam has promised to continue making music with the remaining band members, but under an as-yet-unknown new name. The first thing we do know about the offshoot group is that their first project is the soundtrack to a Beatles-related movie being made by Gallagher and film producer Andrew Eaton.
In an interview with The Guardian at the Cannes Film Festival, Gallagher said the movie, The Longest Cocktail Party, was more about Apple Records, the Beatles' record label, than the band themselves. "[That's] been done before," he said, "The Beatles ain't gonna be in this film, there's gonna be no-one auditioning for John, Paul, George or Ringo [and] I ain't gonna be doing that. There'll be no wigs. It's about the characters behind the scenes."
To emphasize that the film isn't Beatles-oriented, Gallagher and Eaton said they wouldn't be licensing Fab Four songs for the soundtrack. "My new band's going to do the soundtrack," Gallagher said. "I think it'll be more exciting if you have a band that can remind you of that era... plus I don't think we can afford it."
Liam Gallagher
Mar, 26 2009
In the mid 1990s Liam Gallagher was as famous for his curmudgeonly demeanour, sibling rivalry, mutton-chops and shabby-chic as he was for being a member of one the biggest bands of the Britpop scene. Oasis were responsible for landmark multi-platinum releases including Definitely Maybe and What’s the Story) Morning Glory, but though his confident swagger spoke a thousand words, he never seemed terribly happy about anything. He is equally dismissive and coolly unconcerned about his new venture, a clothing line called Pretty Green which is founded and designed by the Oasis frontman. “The reason I’m doing it is I like clothes. We’re going to do clothes I like. If people like it, cool. If they don’t, they don’t." Whether the clothing line will be as successful as the band which spawned the look will be revealed when the clothes go on sale to aspiring listless rockers in June.
