You know we love Oasis, so we’ve been keeping a close eye on the two brothers. While Liam Gallagher just did a successful tour (stopping by Minneapolis in November 2017), his brother Noel Gallagher, will be embarking on a U.S. tour, starting tomorrow in Detroit. What’s really exciting about Noel’s upcoming world tour is that he will bring with him a new 10 piece live band!

As you know, since the Oasis break up, Noel has been releasing music under the Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds name. His latest album Who Built the Moon landed #1 in the UK charts, and the critics are calling the record “best album yet”.

JADE BIRD
jade-bird.com

Breakout British artist Jade Bird confirmed that she will be heading to SXSW 2018.

The tour dates come on the heels of the release of Jade’s latest single “Lottery,” which MTV hailed, “Jade Bird gives Joni Mitchell a run for her money on this beautiful new single.”

We caught Jade Bird in November 2017 and wrote, “London alt-country singer-songwriter Jade Bird in support of her first EP, Something American (Glassnote Records) , released in July. Bird has a delightful and somewhat cheeky demeanor, with a vocal twang similar in parts to Jake Bugg (enough so that they should collaborate and call themselves A Bird and a Bugg) and started with the strumming ‘Run and Hide’ and bluesy ‘I’ll Be There’.”

Lady Bird: Soundtrack From The Motion Picture Read More Alanis Morissette Incidentally, since Alanis Morissette did a similar cover of My Humps, Coulton loves it and covered Morissette's You Oughta Know. ...

LADY BIRD
ladybird.movie

The feel-good coming-of-age film Lady Bird, starring Saoirse Ronan, is a big sleeper hit. What’s even cooler is the outstanding soundtrack, featuring our favorites The Monkees and Alanis Morissette, among others.

Writer and director Greta Gerwig personal wrote letters to artists she had in mind for the film—including Morissette and Dave Matthews—to expressly ask for their blessing to use their songs in Lady Bird.

Naturally, the film went on to win the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy, and Ronan took home the award for Best Actress, Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy. The New York Film Critics Circle named Lady Bird 2017's Best Film and Ronan the year's Best Actress, while the National Board of Review placed Lady Bird in the year's Top 10 Films, named Gerwig Best Director, and named Metcalf Best Supporting Actress.

Lady Bird is playing at a theater near you.

Birds of Passage: The Death of Our Invention

BIRDS OF PASSAGE
denovali.com

New Zealand’s Birds of Passage (aka Alicia Merz) is back after four years of silence.

The ambient, minimalist, experimental project Birds of Passage will be releasing The Death of Our Invention on March 30th via Denovali Records.

Headphone Commute explains it, “Alicia presents us with an endearing invitation into her fragile world, a captivating journey through the landscapes of her emotional euphoria and agony, a further commitment to musical experimentation… The cold minimalist-drones, distorted field recordings, and sparse instrumentation, illustrate an icy, desolate and dark world. It’s as if we are listening to the sound of winter itself; an audio exposure to the unforgiving elements of winter.”

Kunzite: Birds Don't Fly

Producer/multi-instrumentalist Mike Stroud (Ratatat) and Agustin White (White Flight), together is called Kunzite. The duo’s forthcoming debut album is called Birds Don’t Fly, set for release March 2, 2018 via Sol System Records.

Salt Lake City-based duo Eagle Twin (guitarist/singer Gentry Densley and drummer Tyler Smith) is excited to be releasing their third album The Thundering Heard (Songs Of Hoof And Horn) on March 30th via Southern Lord.

In the band’s own words, “As the great snake grew giant fractal antlers of snakes and turned in upon itself creating a new world, the mountains rise, and the antlers stab through like trees across the landscape. The record begins with the hoofed and horned animals of our world running from mountains and forests on fire. Eerily harkening to the recent events in California and the massive devastation by fire across the land.”

Britpop Now: Ash, Lush, Oasis

Read more Britpop.

Read More Ash We love Ash. We've been following the Irish band for a long time now, and a few years ago, they famously said they would "never" release an album. Instead the trio concentrated on just recording singles …

ASH
ash-official.com

Hands down, the greatest Ash album has got to be 1977 (released in 1996). The record has all the hits we know and love, including ‘Goldfinger’, ‘Girl From Mars’, ‘Kung Fu’, and ‘Oh Yeah’.

I remember picking up the album at that time and was simply blown away by some of the catchiest songs I’ve ever heard. And let’s not forget that these guys “introduced” Jackie Chan to America using their single ‘Kung Fu’ as part of the promotion for his film Rumble in the Bronx.

Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of 1977, the trio (singer/guitarist Tim Wheeler, bassist Mark Hamilton and drummer Rick McMurray) will be playing the album, from start to finish... of course, sans hidden track ‘Sick Party’.

In addition to the anniversary tour, Ash is also releasing Live On Mars: London Astoria 1997, an 18-track set recorded over the band’s five night run at the London Astoria from the 28th of February to the 4th of March. You can only pick up these limited colored vinyl or CDs at this upcoming tour (I believe if you can’t make it to a show, you can order the album via their official website).

Ian Fortnam from Classic Rock, writes, “These five nights at The Astoria, from February 28th to March 4th 1997, sound and feel like a party. An exuberant, irresistible celebration of a band who, transcending the faddishness of concurrent Britpop, succeeded on that rarest of commodities: raw talent.”

Read More Lush I have mentioned this at various time, I was more of the Britpop-sounding Lush vs their early shoegazing beginning. That doesn't mean I don't occasional enjoy listening to Gala or Spooky …

LUSH
lushofficial.com

I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to hear Lush reunited last year. I’ve caught the band in 1994 and have been patiently waiting for their reunion.

The band is returning to the States in September - and we are committed to driving to Chicago at the Vic Theatre on September 18th. The show is sold out, but we’re hoping to make it in.

I’ve deliberately avoided looking at their setlist from recent reunion shows, so not to spoil myself. I’m assuming they’ll play all the big hits (‘Ladykillers’, ‘Heavenly Nobodies’, ‘Untogether’, ‘For Love’, and ‘Kiss Chase’). I’m sure they’ll play ‘500’, even though it’s not my favorite song.

I would also love to hear B-Side ‘Ex’ live, but I doubt they will be playing these deep, deep cuts. Also, would love to hear the anti-love song ‘Ciao!’, but may be hard to pull off as that requires a Jarvis Cocker to sing the male part.

Tamaryn will be Lush’s special guest on all dates, excluding Portland and Toronto. We previously saw San Francisco’s Tamaryn in 2012 and noted, “Last night's show is what you'd expect from a shoegazing show: dimly lit atmosphere with movie projection accompanied by heavy guitar effects and distorted undistinguished vocals.”

Read More Oasis Internet time moves so quickly. If I had mentioned something about Noel Gallagher quitting Oasis on Friday, that would've been accepted. But it's been three days later and now I feel like people …

OASIS
oasisinet.com

After an explosive breakup of Oasis in August 2009 and a quiet breakup Beady Eye (in October 2014 via a tweet!), frontman Liam Gallagher has signed a major label record deal with Warner Bros. His solo album is coming out in 2017. In the meantime, Liam is posting photos of his brother Noel Gallagher, calling him “Potato”.

Oasis is also the subject in a recent Supersonic documentary, set for release on October 2nd in limited UK theaters. Director Matt Whitecross was granted an unparalleled look into the troubled relationship between Gallagher brothers Liam and Noel who are both credited as executive producers... and showcase their humble beginning in 1993.

When I saw Oasis in Sacramento in 1994, they weren’t mobbed by fans for autographs. In fact, Liam and Bonehead was hanging outside the venue and we talked to them a bit before going inside to see the opening band...

Supersonic will be released on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download on October 31.

Details:

Featuring extensive unseen archive, SUPERSONIC charts the meteoric rise of Oasis from the council estates of Manchester to some of the biggest concerts of all time in just 3 short years. This palpable, raw and moving film shines a light on one of the most genre and generation-defining British bands that has ever existed.

PS Big Brother Recordings recently unveiled Oasis’ classic 1997 video for their No.1 single ‘D’You Know What I Mean?’ on vevo.com. Directors Dom & Nic added Noel Gallagher's new mix of the song and adding in previously unseen footage. The video has been completely re-graded and is now in High Definition format.

What's new in 2015?

Read More Noel Gallagher Since wrapping up his promotional tour for his 2011 album, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Noel has been pretty quiet. If you missed his tour …

NOEL GALLAGHER
noelgallagher.com

Ex-Oasis Noel Gallagher, or otherwise billed as Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds will be releasing a new 2015 album, produced by Noel with a much broader array of instrumentation than ever before. The result is a rich, expansive and multi-layered record, drawing from a range of disparate influences - from west coast rock to classic rock'n'roll and even some space jazz. On producing the album, Noel said:

"It was a major pain in the arse. It's not that I've ever had people telling me what to write or what direction to go in, but managing sessions from one end of the week to the other proved extremely difficult. I had all these people looking at me and saying: 'right, what are we doing today?' I was making the whole thing up as I went along."

"In The Heat Of The Moment" will be the hypnotic preceding single (out November 17th) from the upcoming Chasing Yesterday album. The LP will be released on March 3rd via Sour Mash Records, on CD, Deluxe CD, vinyl and digitally.

Tour dates:

Read More Idlewild So, in 2001, Scotland's Idlewild went on tour to promote their 100 Broken Windows, which, incidentally, was re-issued as a 10th Anniversary Edition …

IDLEWILD
idlewild.co.uk

We've been following this story for a while, if you recall earlier in 2014, I wrote that Idlewild were back in the studios in September 2013... which indicated that the band members were on good terms with each other.

Some of the band members got back together to do a sold-out acoustic tour in England last month, but now everything is official: the Scottish band's eight studio album Everything Ever Written will be released February 9, 2015 in the UK.

"The album was predominantly written on the Isle of Mull," vocalist Roddy Woomble explains. "The record soundtracks a period of transition. Working without time constraints gave the whole thing a creative freedom. Idlewild is a new band to me now; I'm excited for the future."

BBC6's Steve Lamacq will be premiering Idlewild's new single "Collect Yourself" tonight (which will be available as an immediate download for anyone who preordered the new record via pledgemusic.com/idlewild).

Naturally, the band will be playing some dates in support of Everything Ever Written:

SLEATER-KINNEY
sleater-kinney.com

I have seen Olympia's Sleater-Kinney at least two times in Minneapolis, but I may have to skip out on this upcoming reunion tour... on account that it is in the winter time (and the fact that it was "one of the worst time I've ever spent at a show" at First Ave in 2002). As much as I love the band, but I was put off by their over-aggressive slam-dancing fans.

The new reunited trio will be touring in support of No Cities to Love, which comes out January 20, 2015, on Sub Pop Records.

But whereas Arcade Fire, especially on their recent album Neon Bible, have a murky lo-fi sound and a certain atmosphere of portentous pomposity* .…

Arcade Fire is under fire lately. The Canadian band demanded that all attendees at their arena concert tour this year must wear suits and formalwear (the fine print when you purchase their tickets lists Please Note: NIGHT OF SHOW: Please wear formal attire or costume.) at all their shows.

Before their show in Montreal, the band tweeted "Formal attire or costume MANDATORY. (Formal wear = suit, dress or fancy something. . .)." and when they played London, singer Win Butler told the crowd, "To anyone who felt uncomfortable dressing up, I'm not sorry."

Fans were clearly upset about this mandatory dress code. Non fans say that Arcade Fire is the most pretentious band in the world.

I guess Arcade Fire is now backing down on their mandatory formal dress code, telling fans to "relax" and that "it's super not mandatory." Still, I think it's too late, the original message is already out there.

Personally, I will not be attending any of their shows, now or in the future. Look, I'm not a fan of people telling me what to do and what to wear. I hope Arcade Fire understand why fans are upset. All of this could have been avoided if they made dressing up a voluntarily thing, instead of being dictators about it.

Anyroad, my favorite thing out of this is what Noel Gallagher (Oasis) thought about this on rollingstone.com:

Well, what's the point of that? Do you know what the point of that is? That is to take away from the sh** disco that's coming out of the speakers. Because everybody's dressed as one of the Three Musketeers on acid. "What was the gig like?" "I don't know, everyone was dressed as a teddy bear in the Seventies." "Yeah, but what was the gig like?" "Ah, f*** knows, man, I have no idea. I was dressed as a flying saucer." "Yeah, but what was the gig like?" "F*** knows. I don't know. Seen Cheech and Chong, there, though." Not for me.

Arcade Fire is currently out on tour in support of their recently released of the double-album Reflektor, out now on Merge Records.

Britpop Now!

Read more Britpop. Blur, Suede (new song), Pulp ("new" song), and Stone Roses were recently covered on W♥M #167.

Read More Johnny Marr Lots of Radiohead's Ed & Phil and Johnny Marr (The Smiths) and lots of Wilco. In fact, there were one or two comments about how they thought it was such a clash of quintessentially British and American sounds.

JOHNNY MARR
johnny-marr.com

If you know me, you know that I'm actually a huge Smiths fan. I discovered the band years after they broke up through Morrissey, who came into my world in 1991 on the Johnny Carson show. Once I saw Morrissey singing about his friends in hell, I knew I had to find out more about Moz. This was pre-internet, so most of the information I had to work with came in the printed form: letters, fanzines, magazines, and books. It was only a matter of time did I get my first Smiths album, The Queen is Dead, at Tower Records. I don't care what anyone say, that album is perfect from top to bottom.

In case you haven't figured it out, Johnny Marr is the legendary guitarist from The Smiths. He co-wrote/wrote all the Smiths' songs and eventually went on to a ton of other solo projects post-breakup in 1987. Marr acted as "guitarist-for-hire" on various project, such as The Cribs, Modest Mouse, but he's finally decided to release a new solo album called The Messenger, coming out February 26th. I suppose this is the follow-up to his 2003's Johnny Marr and the Healers album (which I caught them live at First Avenue).

With a confirmed appearance at Coachella, Marr decided to put together a North American tour in April and early May:

Read More Noel Gallagher You know I love Oasis, so I'm always happy to mention Liam and Noel whenever I get the chance. As it is, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' first US single is called "If I Had A Gun"….

NOEL GALLAGHER
noelgallagher.com

I love Oasis, I still can't believe we interviewed Liam Gallagher through KFSR 90.7 and had special treatment by the band circa 1994 when they first tour here in the USA. By the time "Wonderwall" happened, the band was no long accessible to us! It's fine, we still love Oasis to this day.

Since wrapping up his promotional tour for his 2011 album, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Noel has been pretty quiet.

If you missed his tour, like I did, you will be happy to know that his DVD, International Magic Live at The O2 is coming out February 26, 2013, in North America. The video release will be available in a variety of formats: video downloads, 2 disc DVD, and Blu-Ray (with exclusive CD called Faster Than The Speed of Magic featuring demos of album tracks, B-Sides and live tracks).

From my understanding, the video captures two live shows: "International Magic Live" at the O2 in London and "Live At The Mod Club" from his Toronto appearance. I have been to the Mod Club and I can tell you that it's probably a lot smaller than O2 Arena.

Noel Gallagher will appear at "Give It Up For Comic Relief" in London's Wembley Arena on March 6th and "Teenage Cancer Trust Benefit" in London's Royal Albert Hall on March 23rd.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

REPUBLICA
facebook.com/officialrepublica

Republica is set to come back in 2013. You may have remembered this female-fronted-band from the 90s with their massive big hit song, "Ready to Go"? Fans might argue they had other hits, but c'mon, no one knows them. The popular song was recently used in the video game Everybody Dance, which I'll confess I own on PS3.

So Saffron and the original line-up is back in 2013, with a new EP set for March with an accompanying tour:

03/14/13 London The Relentless Garage
03/15/13 York Fibbers
03/18/13 Newcastle O2 Academy Newcastle
03/19/13 Leeds Brudenell Social Club

ASH
ash-official.com

Yeah, you already know I love these guys. 1977, what a great album …. but you can tell the Scottish lads were young at the time, listening to the album on retrospect. They're not the greatest lyrics, but who cares, it sounds so good and simple.

Since finishing their A-Z project (this was their weekly write a song for twenty-six weeks straight), the band has been on constant tour. They haven't been to Minneapolis since 2005, so I was surprised to find out that they'll be at the Varsity Theater on Mar 18.

I tried looking up the rest of their US tour schedule, but I guess these are the only two announced:

Mar 12 House of Blues Dallas Dallas, TX
Mar 18 Varsity Theater Minneapolis, MN

 

 

 

 

STEREOPHONICS
stereophonics.com

I've seen Stereophonics a few times in Minneapolis, as the band ready for their UK tour, singer/songwriter Kelly Jones opened up to The Daily Mail about the passing of ex-drummer Stuart Cable.

Apparently Cable had drugs and alcohol problems that lead Jones to fire the drummer in 2003. Although the two kissed and made up within a year and a half, his sudden death in 2010 affected Jones.

He's quoted as saying, "I think about him, and miss him, every day. Every time we play an old song, he's still there."

Stereophonic's upcoming album, Graffiti On The Train, will be out March 4, just in time for their UK tour dates. The single, "Indian Summer", is out on February 25.

03/15/13 Leicester De Montfort Hall 03/16/13 Wolverhampton Civic Hall 03/18/13 Leeds O2 Academy Leeds 03/19/13 Leeds O2 Academy Leeds 03/21/13 Cheltenham The Centaur

DODGY
dodgyology.com

Sally's favorite band ever is doing a one-off date special acoustic set at Selby Town Hall on February 16th. They will play nothing but the hits "Staying Out For The Summer", "In A Room", "If You're Thinking of Me", "Good Enough", etc.

Since Dodgy's original line-up re-formation in 2007, the band's been on and off the music festival circuits. Pretty soon, they went back into the studios to record and release Stand Upright In A Cool Place, which came out in 2012. Their previous album, Real Estate, was released in 2001. What's interesting to note is that the original line-up's last album prior to breakup was 1996's Free Peace Sweet.

Anyway, you can see Dodgy at Selby Town Hall on February 16th for a mere 13 of your English pounds.

If you were wondering about the 3-2-1 Contact theme song, it's because the podcast is #123. I've love that PBS show.

So, Sally stopped by to discuss the music topics of the day.

J Mascis at the Sydney Festival.

Gotye. "Somebody I Used To Know" hottest song at the moment.

The Ladybirds: Shimmy Shimmy Dang

THE LADYBIRDS
ladybirdsrock.com

Although we don't really get to many CDs in the mail these days (per my request), it is still a much better way of getting a band in front of my face vs the hundreds of music emails I get.

So, The Ladybirds' album is called Shimmy Shimmy Dang, to be released on September 6th, 2011, via Departure Records. I listened to it today, it's actually quite good. I've always been a sucker for throw-back retro rock, as I've previously mentioned.

Sarah Teeple sings on most of the songs, with the exception of the all instrumental track "Shallow Orbit" and the sort-of-duet "She's Alright".

The Ladybirds' music and vocal ranges from sassy devil-may-care attitude on "Who You With?" to heart-broken girl on "Let's Start A Family (Tonight)" to semi-independent woman on "I'm Gonna Scream". Their versatile theme can best be sum up on their "Stay Gone" song, which is split in parts one and two. The first is a slow, sad reflection ... while part two brought the song to an all-out crazy apes rock.

If you like retro rock, circa 1950s, you should check out this album.

Here are the few dates I have from them:

September 9 – Headliners – Louisville, KY
September 29 – The Vollrath – Indianapolis, IN
September 30 – The Brass Rail – Fort Wayne, IN
October 15 – Lemmons – St. Louis, MO

NOEL GALLAGHER'S HIGH FLYING BIRDS
www.noelgallagher.com

You know I love Oasis, so I'm always happy to mention Liam and Noel whenever I get the chance.

As it is, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' first US single is called "If I Had A Gun". He will make his first network television debut on The Late Show with David Letterman on November 10th.

What I'm probably more excited about is that Noel will be doing some selected US dates and will do Oasis songs (unlike his brother's band, Beady Eye). When asked about doing classic Oasis songs at his recent press conference, Noel said "I'm proud of them and of what they mean to people, I'll never do a gig without playing them. They're like drugs to me."

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds North American tour:

November 7 & 8 Toronto, ON @ Massey Hall
November 11 Philadelphia, PA @ Academy of Music
November 12 Boston, MA @ Wang Theatre
November 14 New York, NY @ Beacon Theatre
November 17 Los Angeles, CA @ Royce Hall
November 19 San Francisco, CA @ Orpheum Theatre

Full details of the press release at news.weheartmusic.com.

WHITE BIRDS
truewhitebirds.tumblr.com

Grizzly Records wanted me to know about Philadelphia's White Birds. Apparently, this band rose from the ashes of Drink Up Buttercup.

They said the band sounds like Brian Wilson (who dissed us at NXNE) and other "pet sounds" like Fleet Foxes, New Animal, and Tyranosaurus Rex. I did sample some of their songs, vocals and music sounds muffled, which may have been deliberate.

I know they're trying to make interesting music with effects and ghostly sounds, but it's just not my cup of tea. What I can tell you is that these sort of experimental sound often works better live, not on a recorded medium. At least for me.

And guess what? They're on tour:

Sep 10 Brillobox - Pittsburgh, PA Sep 17 Johnny Brenda's - Philadelphia, PA Sep 22 Midpoint Music Festival - Cincinnati, OH Sep 23 Midpoint Music Festival - Cincinnati, OH Sep 25 Schubas - Chicago, IL Sep 26 Pyramid Scheme - Grand Rapids, MI Sep 27 The Basement - Columbus, OH		Sep 28 Cedars Lounge - Youngstown, OH Sep 30 Daniel Street - Milford, CT Oct 01 Brooklyn Bowl - Brooklyn, NY Oct 19 The Basement - Nashville, TN Oct 20 Zanzabar - Louisville, KY Oct 21 The Bishop - Bloomington, IN

Their self-titled EP will be limited to 100 cassette tapes and only available to pick up at their September tour dates with Asobi Seksu or via grizzleyrecords.com.

News: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

Noel Gallagher at his London Press Conference on July 7, 2011 - photo by Lawrence Watson Read More Oasis The truth is, I am (or was) a huge Oasis fan. Back in the day when the single Supersonic hit our college radio station, KFSR 90.7 FM, I knew this band was special.

I didn't have anyone in London to cover this event, so I'll try and sum up what was written in the press release.

The main news is that Noel has two albums coming out, the first album will be released October 17th, 2011, on his own label, Sour Mash Records, called Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds (the US release is slightly delayed until November 8th with the help of Mercury Records for distribution).

Details of the album is that he was recorded in London and Los Angeles in 2010 and the first half of 2011. Co-produced by Noel Gallagher and David Sardy (who actually won some Australia's ARIA awards for his work on Jet and Wolfmother, as well as a Brit Award for Oasis' Dig Out Your Soul - so Noel is in good company).

Track Listing below:

1. Everybody's On The Run
2. Dream On
3. If I Had A Gun...
4. The Death Of You And Me
5. (I Wanna Live In A Dream In My) Record Machine
6. Aka...What A Life!
7. Soldier Boys And Jesus Freaks
8. Aka..Broken Arrow
9. (Stranded On) The Wrong Beach
10. Stop The Clocks

Backing musicians includes Jeremy Stacey (drums), Mikey Rowe (keyboards), Mark Neary (variety of instruments, including double bass, saw, and wine glasses?), Jon Graboff (pedal steel), Luis Jardim (percussion), Lenny Castro (percussion), and Beccy Byrne (backing vocals). Also credited is The Crouch End Festival Chorus and The Wired Strings (Gary Alesbrook, Andrew Kinsman, Trevor Mires).

From the above guests, and producer, I am expecting a more rock n rollish album than a typical Noel & his acoustic guitar. Plus, with the strings and chorus, it should give it a grand rock opera feel. Cannot wait to hear Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds.

A second companion album will be released sometime in 2012. That second album is a result of Noel's collaboration with the Amorphous Androgynous (who also release music under the electro duo The Future Sound of London), so I suspect the second album to be more experimental. Hopefully it will sound like Noel's previous work with The Chemical Brothers.

Be sure to check back with youtube.com/noelgallaghertv for a video of today's press conference at Electric Cinema in Notting Hill.

UPDATE: Added video of press conference:

News: Noel Gallagher to announce solo project

With Liam Gallagher's Beady Eye playing at iTunes Festival tomorrow, big brother, Noel will probably steal the thunder by announcing his new solo project in Notting Hill on July 6th.

The press conference is not open the public, but I'll keep you updated on any news I hear. We love Oasis and am glad to hear that Noel is returning back to music.

If you were wondering, Sour Mash Records is Noel's record label, which was started in 2001.
