Apparently Liam is passionate about music, AND fashion… who knew? The company is called Pretty Green, after a song by The Jam, with nothing to do about environmentalism. In any case, hear about it from the man himself:
This is a weird video:
Here’s a cool look at the lads from Oasis at Abbey Road studios in London while they recorded their newest album, “Dig Out Your Soul” :
This is pretty crazy footage of Noel getting hit from behind during the Oasis performance at the V Festival in Toronto, Canada. Its too bad Noel didn’t even have a chance to react, otherwise I’m sure an epic brawl would have ensued. Notice Liam with his arm cocked trying to get some shots in. Props to the band for coming back 15 minutes later and finishing the show. Fast forward to 1:25 for the action to begin:
more on the attack from The National Post:
A man ran onstage during Oasis’s show at Virgin Festival in Toronto last night and crashed into guitarist Noel Gallagher, knocking him hard to the ground.
The man, who entered from backstage as the band played (What’s The Story) Morning Glory, then appeared to clash with other Gallagher brother, Liam, before security rushed in and escorted him off stage in front of the shocked festival crowd.
The security spokesperson for Virgin, called Nathan, said unidentified man evaded both Virgin and Oasis security personnel in his dash onstage. No reason was given for the rush, but Nathan pointed out that both brothers were fine, and Noel was joking backstage after the incident about how exciting things always happens when Oasis plays.
After a 15 minute pause, the band returned to the stage and finished the show, which included crowd-pleasers such as Don’t Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall, new single The Shock Of The Lightning and the closer, a cover of The Beatles’ I Am The Walrus.

The Brothers Gallagher finally announce some more information on their upcoming album release. The title is Dig Out Your Soul in stores on Oct. 3rd and the first single is called “The Shock of the Lightning” which will hit airwaves on Sept. 26th. Here are a few of Noel’s comments in regards to the new album:
“If ‘The Shock of the Lightning’ sounds instant and compelling to you, it’s because it was written dead fast. And recorded dead fast. ‘The Shock of The Lightning’ basically is the demo. And it has retained its energy. And there’s a lot to be said for that, I think.”
“I wanted to write music that had a groove; not songs that followed that traditional pattern of verse, chorus and middle eight. I wanted a sound that was more hypnotic; more driving… Songs that would draw you in, in a different way. Songs that you would maybe have to connect to - to feel.”
Lets all hope this is the return to form that everyone wants these guys to pull off… In the meantime here’s a great acoustic version of an old B-side, “Whatever”:
