OASIS ALBUM 'DUE IN FEB'NOEL GALLAGHER says he’d still like to release a new OASIS single this year – but the chances of it actually happening are slim. The band have spent much of the year working on songs for the follow-up to ’Heathen Chemistry’. Following their appearance at Glastonbury they scrapped the sessions, and have been back in the studio again recently. Speaking to Radio 1, Gallagher said that four songs were completed, with a release most likely to come in February 2005. He said: “We've finished about 4 tracks now, so I think , hopefully in an ideal world we'll have a single out by the end of the year but it's probably looking like it'll be Feb next year.”<br> In a recent letter to NME, Noel explained the problems with recording so far. The letter read: "Dear NME, "We started talking about recording a new Oasis album in November last year. We thought it would be a great idea to try something different with the production this time around, and Liam came up with the idea of using Death In Vegas as producers/mixers, which everyone believed would be a fantastic collaboration. "We drew up a list of songs (10 in total), booked Sawmills Studio in Cornwall and gave ourselves three weeks. Unfortunately, after the recording process we decided we didn’t like anything we had played/recorded during those three weeks, and because of commitments with Death In Vegas, Richard Fearless and Tim Holmes couldn’t find any more time to give to the project. It was then decided we would attempt to finish off the record ourselves, which so far has proven quite frustrating and fruitless. All the while, new songs have been written and old ones have fallen away. So we think the 'moment' for that particular record has passed. "We plan to start work on a new set of songs some time in July and we hope to have a new album out in February/March 2005, so hopefully you will hear some new tunes by the end of the year. "As for the other two points you’ve raised, the one about separate dressing rooms, is as usual, laughable. And as for not watching Macca from the stage, all I can say is Liam and his friends did, and me and my friends prefer the shared experience of the masses to the privileged position of the few. Now if you don’t mind…<br> "Peace, love and bananas, "Noel Gallagher."

No New Oasis Material This Year Says Noel
Oasis rocker Noel Gallagher has said it is unlikely there will be any new material from the band this year.
The group were due to release a new album this autumn - a follow up to 2002's Heathen Chemistry - but scrapped most of the new songs halfway through recording sessions after they went down poorly at Glastonbury.
Noel said that although he would still like to release a new single this year, it now looks unlikely.
He said the band was back in the studio working hard on getting the new album right.
"We've finished about four tracks now, so in an ideal world we'll have a single out by the end of the year," he said.
"But it's probably looking like it'll be February next year."
The release of the new album could be around March 2005, he added.

No Oasis in sightDaisy Kay Open your minds, kidsRemember Oasis? Well, you can pop them to the back of your mind again, as they're not going to release any new material this year. So there. Why bother telling us then? The dastardly duo were supposed to put out a new album sometime this year - a follow up to 2002's Heathen Chemistry - but have reportedly gone back to the drawing board. And it's all because the Glastonbury crowd didn't 'dig' their new stuff. Noel, the one with the caterpillar eyebrows, said he'd still like to release a new single this year, but it's looking increasingly unlikely. Now the brothers grim are back in the studio, perfecting the new album. "We've finished about four tracks now, so in an ideal world we'll have a single out by the end of the year," he said. And in an ideal world The Cheeky Girls wouldn't exist. "But it's probably looking like it'll be February next year." Glad we've cleared that up then.

Oasis get thumbs down from festival-goers10/09/2004Oasis have been voted this summer’s worst festival band by music fans after a lacklustre performance at Glastonbury. The Mancunian rockers left some festival-goers disappointed after a set where they barely spoke to the crowds. The Gallagher brothers were the headline act on the event’s Friday night but even Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis felt the band did not live up to his expectations. At the time he said: “I’m an Oasis fan. I thought it was a good set but the two of them looked a bit grumpy and didn’t talk to the audience at all. “In that sense I was a bit disappointed.”<br> In the NME Festival Poll, 42% of those who voted for their worst band of the summer picked Oasis. In second place was The Darkness (26%), then The Strokes (17%) and The Libertines (15%). More than 10,000 music fans voted online in the music magazine survey on everything from the best bands to the worst toilets. Despite The Libertines performance being voted a disappointment, Carl Barat was named the Hero Of The Summer by festival-goers. After Pete Doherty’s exit from the band, Barat went on to perform at T in the Park and the Carling Weekend without his fellow frontman. Eavis was named runner-up followed by Sir Paul McCartney who attracted the biggest audience of the summer, estimated to be 80,000, at Glastonbury. Glastonbury also topped the poll as the best value for money with almost three-quarters of the festivals’ fans saying the ticket price was worth it compared to 68% for V and 60% for the Carling Weekend.

Taking Oasis into the future
Claire Hill, The Western Mail Ten years ago Oasis burst onto the music scene, managed by a music fan from Ebbw Vale. Claire Hill talks to Marcus Russell about the ups and downs of life in the fast lane
WHEN Marcus Russell first saw Oasis it was a pretty unremarkable gig - he thinks they were supporting the now defunct band Dodgy.
More than 10 years ago the music Noel and Liam Gallagher were drawing upon was the music that the band manager from Ebbw Vale personally loved.
While he might have been personally drawn to the band watching them in the Hop and Grape - a small room in Manchester University Students' Union - he never thought they would go on to sell millions.
Now they have, and you would think that Russell might add some hyperbole to the story of the discovery of Oasis. But the reality is there has never been any need.
As soon as Oasis's Definitely Maybe hit the shops in 1994 it started a meteoric rise to fame, newcomers to the music scene followed them and for much of the '90s they had a strong grip over the UK.
But how was it looking after the band whose members have a tempestuous relationship with each other and with the media?
Russell, sitting in his office in London said, "It was easy.
"They were very keen to work. They were very easy to manage and they were rigidly punctual. We'd arrange them to be somewhere and they would be all there ready waiting to go on stage or start work."
Oasis looked like they just exploded onto the scene, joining the forerunners of Britpop, but the reality was more mundane.
"We built up their profile through building up fans and playing live, within about a year we had built it up so they were really well known."
Unusually for bands they did not drag their demo to hundreds of record companies, instead settling for their first offer from Alan McGee's Creation, with the backing of Sony.
"We got the best of both worlds with that, Creation for the UK and Sony Recording for the rest of the world.
"We never went to any recording companies to get a deal and no companies were interested in signing Oasis.
"I never took another phone call, no-one was interested and we were happy with that."
The band have always been accused of being cocky or arrogant, but Russell maintains that was just confidence about their music.
"We knew what we had."
Ten years down the line the album has been reissued and the band have put together a 4 -hour DVD, which Russell sees as "groundbreaking".
A lot of the DVD has been made up with fan footage that the band members had never seen until the past 18 months.
"We posted on the website for anyone who thought they had something interesting to share and quite a lot of the fans responded.
"We were surprised by how much there was, from TV shows to backstage footage.
"Some of it is rough and ready, some are promo videos and others are appearances on the BBC.
"It is the kitchen sink and we are very happy with it."
This is a memento of the past, but after a shaky Glastonbury performance and a recent scrapping of all the songs from their latest album, what is Oasis's future?
Strong guitar songs coupled with Liam's drawling voice have not changed during the band's 10-year history.
And as they step into their new decade, Russell cannot see the arrival of a marked difference.
"They do not like doing things that are just trendy for that moment, they don't do remixes of their songs and you can probably tell they hate videos. We are looking to the new album now and then a year of touring.
"They are not trying to reinvent themselves, but they are working with some good producers and I think they have just written a whole new bunch of songs."
After Heathen Chemistry the new one will be their seventh, but Russell, who also manages The Finn Brothers, Mercury Rev and Johnny Marr, isn't that worried about sales.
"Playing live has always been our yardstick."
The current line-up, Liam and Noel Gallagher with Gem Archer and Andy Bell, is a strong one, Russell believes.
"Over 10 or 12 years a band would not have been able to sustain itself without things changing.
"I think with Liam and Noel, you get what you get in any family. If you told any brother or sister that they would have to live and work with each other for the rest of their life there would be issues and differences.
"The creative core of Oasis is always Liam and Noel."

Gallagher helps the homeless12/09/2004Rebellious rocker Liam Gallagher has shown a softer side to his nature, after being spotted comforting a homeless man near his north London home. The Oasis frontman was visiting his local pub The Queen’s with pals when he noticed the beggar, a regular fixture in the capital's leafy Primrose Hill area, was in a state of distress. According to onlookers, Gallagher invited the man to join his table and then bought him a meal, while offering advice and counseling. The singer reportedly told the man, who has been homeless for eight years to "ditch the drugs and stuff". When the beggar left, Gallagher shook his hand and said: "It's been an honour," before rejoining his pals.

If we all did something like he did..we might learn more about ourselves as human beings...because the only thing separating us from that condition is a paycheck and someone that cares about your well-being.Gallagher has my sincere respect. When I was 20 and full of money I took a homeless man to lunch and talked to him.He had nothing.....but he was the richest man I ever met in my life.

Liam's fury over Ex-Libertines star's child support
Sep 13 2004
Pop singer Pete Doherty's life is going from bad to worse.
His drug problem has got him kicked out of The Libertines, he’s been in and out of court and his recent no-show at a gig has angered fans.
But to top it off there’s a certain pop star that isn’t too happy with Pete either.
According to the Daily Mirror, the atmosphere between rock rebel Liam Gallagher and Pete, 25, is getting a bit frosty over the issue of child maintenance.
Both Pete and Oasis front man Liam Gallagher have a child with their former lover Lisa Moorish.
And while wild man Liam, 31, is fulfilling his fatherly duties, paying out £2,000 a month to support his daughter Molly, Pete’s been left short of cash because of his drug problems.
An insider said: “Liam is fuming. He feels he’s supporting Pete’s son Estile as well as his own daughter.
“He reckons it’s time Pete sorted himself out and started paying his share.”<br> Doherty - who recently admitted to spending a fortune a day on drugs – is now attempting to get his new band Babyshambles off the ground.
The source said: “Pete’s problems are very sad, but it’s not Liam’s problem.
“He doesn’t begrudge his own payments but he hates the idea that Pete’s not paying his share.”<br> A friend of Pete’s said: “He wants to do the right thing – Pete will be in a better position once he stops doing drugs.”
