(Thorsten, 2012/03/27 - 21:10) Beady Eye are pleased to confirm they will support The Stone Roses at their forthcoming gig in Heaton Park, Manchester on Saturday 30th June.

The legendary Manchester band - comprised of Ian Brown, John Squire, Mani and Reni - are set to play three sold out shows in their hometown this summer. All three nights sold out in a little over an hour - a total of 220,000 tickets - when they went on sale in October of last year.

The Heaton Park gigs are part of The Stone Roses' summer tour which marks their first live shows since 1996. For more information check out their official website HERE!

Beady Eye's gig at Heaton Park is their only confirmed UK performance for 2012.

(Thorsten, 2012/03/25 - 18:48) Das Line-up des diesjährigen Frequency Festivals in St. Pölten hat prominenten Zuwachs bekommen: Die US-Band The Killers wird ebenso im Green Park der niederösterreichischen Landeshauptstadt auf der Bühne stehen wie Ex-Oasis Gitarrist Noel Gallagher, der mit seinem Soloprojekt High Flying Birds aufspielen wird.

[...]

Auch heuer will das Frequency (16. - 18. August 2012) wieder mit 100 Acts aufwarten, gespielt wird auf sieben Bühnen. Pro Festivaltag erwarten die Veranstalter rund 45.000 Besucher und damit - wie in den vergangenen Jahren - ein ausverkauftes Festival.

(Thorsten, 2012/03/25 - 18:38) Mit Noel Gallagher und Jan Delay haben die Verantwortlichen des Gurtenfestivals am Mittwoch zwei weitere Headliner präsentiert. Beide Musiker spielen nicht zum ersten Mal auf dem Berner Hausberg.

Gallagher war mit der inzwischen aufgelösten Band Oasis bereits in Bern. Inzwischen wandelt er höchst erfolgreich auf Solopfaden. Mit seinem Debutalbum beweise der Brite, dass er zu den grossen Songschreibern gehöre, heisst es in einer Mitteilung der Festivalverantwortlichen vom Mittwoch.

[...]

Das Festival findet vom 12. bis 15. Juli statt.

(Thorsten, 2012/03/14 - 21:32) Letzten Sommer beackerte Liam Gallagher mit seiner neuen Band Beady Eye diverse Festivals in Europa. Damals mussten die Fans auf Songs aus dem Inventar von Oasis gänzlich verzichten. Ab sofort will Liam es seinem Bruder Noel gleich tun und live ebenfalls auf Oasis-Klassiker zurückgreifen. Spezielle Momente sind garantiert, nur: Es mangelt an Konzertdaten.

Im Gespräch mit xfm London meint der Beady Eye Frontmann, die Zeit wäre nun reif dafür. Seiner Meinung nach habe das Beady Eye Album sich erst einmal bewähren und auf eigenen Füssen stehen müssen. Jetzt könne man live ab und an ein paar Oasis-Songs einfliessen lassen. Das klang vor einem Jahr mal ganz anders. Damals lies Liam verlauten, er könne sich nicht vorstellen die alten Hits ohne seinen Bruder Noel zu performen.

Konzerte von Noel Gallaghers neuem Standbein High Flying Birds haben gezeigt, dass der ein oder andere eingeflochtene Oasis-Song sich durchaus animierend auf die Crowd auswirken kann. Das scheint auch Bruder Liam nicht verborgen geblieben zu sein.

Auch in Sachen zweites Beady Eye Album wusste Liam Gallagher einige Infos einzustreuen. Man würde aktuell an einigen Songdemos arbeiten, will sich aber Zeit lassen um es letztlich "richtig zu machen". Frühestens nächstes Jahr sei mit dem Nachfolger zu "Different Gear, Still Speeding" zu rechnen.

Was jetzt eigentlich noch fehlt sind Konzerttermine von Beady Eye in Europa. Denn während Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds dieses Jahr alles mitnimmt, was sich irgendwie arrangieren lässt, steht für Beady Eye mit dem Fuji Rock in Japan bisher nur ein Konzerttermin im Juli zu Buche.

(Thorsten, 2012/03/13 - 21:06) Someone - they were definitely german - kept shouting out, clear as day ... KEVIN KEEGAN!!!

Yes..well been mad busy. Lot's to tell. So . . . where were we? Barcelona right?

The trip from Barcelona to Paris was uneventful as you would imagine. Landed in the rain and rushed across town to sit in a cold room for 3 hours waiting to do some bizarre tv show where me and 6 other French people occupied some kind of rustic dining table for a casual chat while they ate desert!! For real!!!!! As you can imagine it was a bit awkward. Me . . . not knowing the lingo had to wear an ear piece what had an interpreter translating the conversation into my lug-hole. Still had no fucking idea what they were on about.

The gig in Paris was great. It was in a place called Grand Rex Theatre. Incredible upholstery!! The seats would most definitely have been stolen had it been in England!! 2 of that band The Strokes were there . . . Fab and Albert to be exact. I ain't seen them for long time..cool cats man.

Had a brilliant night out after.stumbled into an empty restaurant at fuck knows what time to catch 2 french dudes - one on piano and one on the guitar - playing that song "harvest moon" by Neil Young. What followed was mega. They started taking requests. . . well at least I think they did . . . and before you know it it was 5am!! They went through every genre of music I've ever heard of!! 50's,60's,70's,80's . . . they stopped at the 90's though thankfully. My lovely good lady wife kept them on their little French toes with a barrage of 80's demands what peaked with "the wham rap"!!! It really was fucking mega. Needless to say the next day was spent nursing a rather sore head. Well worth it though. I LOVE PARIS!

So...last night's gig here in Hamburg was ok . . . not bad . . . if I'm being honest I was still feeling it a little bit from Paris. Someone - they were definitely german - kept shouting out, clear as day, in between songs . . . "KEVIN KEEGAN!!!!"
??????????????? Indeed.

Off to Berlin just now.

Gotta go.

ONWARDS.

(Thorsten, 2011/11/21 - 20:40) 'Apparently I'm being courted by 007 bosses...'

Yes comrades...

The Royce Hall was / is yet another stunning theatre type thing on the UCLA campus. Two pretty good nights. Strange crowd though. Quite lively the first night, and dead as Dodos the 2nd!!! Why is that? Fuck knows... Very odd though.

Did some interview with CBS Morning News... saying that, it could've been NBC Morning News. Dunno, can't remember. I'd be amazed if either of their viewership had a clue who I was. The interviewer went by the name of Ben Tracy... Ben Tracy?? Wasn't he in the Thunderbirds? He did have some bloody good questions though (that's not sarcasm, by the way).

Was good to be back in Los Angeles. I've grown to love that place. I used to hate it. Didn't get it for years, I like it now though... A sure sign one is getting older, I guess!!

Now, I don't know whether you've seen a story that's doing the rounds about me being offered the job of penning the tune for the new James Bond film? Apparently I'm being courted by "007 bosses"!!!!! A meeting will be "taking place in the next few days"!!!! With some guy called "Michael G. Wilson" (whoever he is)!!! A "source" says, "nothing has been signed or made official"!!!! Of course it fuckin' hasn't!!!!!! Who IS this fuckin' "source"? Has he been on the "sauce"? Bizarre indeed.

You currently find me in San Francisco. Just soundchecked at the Orpheum Theatre.

It's the last night of this particular leg of this particular American tour. Flying home tomorrow. Can't wait. There's shit going on back there and I need to be getting involved in it.

In a bit.

(Thorsten, 2011/11/02 - 23:46) Yes comrades.

How art thou? So... we fuckin' smashed it, eh?

It was a nice surprise, the HFB album going in at #1. Thanks for that. A proud moment. Commiserations to young Mr. Cardle, whom I met the other night. Nice lad. Lovely hat AND scarf!!

The big story of the last few days was, of course, the righteous Man City's total and utter humiliation of The Evil Empire. A result so shocking my 4 year old, who knows nothing about anything that isn't a dinosaur, said, "That's really bad, isn't it dad?" To which I laughed into his face and raised him aloft like a human world cup until he requested that I put him down. A result so awe-inspiring that it rendered the 1st NGHFB gig almost irrelevant.

Was it any good? Don't ask me. I felt like it flew by in about 30 mins! I enjoyed it, mind. It did leave me with a bit of food for thought regarding the set list. All good though.

Legged it straight off stage to the airport where my private jet THE G-FIRM was fired up and ready to fly home to London. Had to be on top form at them Q awards. Got myself a nice little Q ICON award and more importantly, and somewhat surprisingly, a blimmin' standing ovation!!!! I liked it a lot!!!! More of those, please.

Spent the rest of the day drinking and smoking my arse off. Which meant yesterday was spent on the couch watching the repeats of the total and utter humiliation of Man United (which was where aforementioned child-lifting took place).

I am currently on a high-speed train up north heading to the great city of Manchester. Playing the Apollo tonight. Coming on to 'Blue Moon'. Should be interesting!!!

IN A BIT!

(Thorsten, 2011/11/02 - 23:21) Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

04. Dezember 2011 - Köln, Palladium

Die sanfte Tour.
Innerhalb von Minuten war das einzige Deutschlandkonzert des Britpop-Großmeisters Noel Gallagher und seiner neuen Band High Flying Birds ausverkauft. Glücklicherweise verfügt die Millionenstadt Köln über ein großes Repertoire an Musiktempeln und so wurde der Auftritt kurzerhand in das weitläufige Palladium verlegt.

Nach zahlreichen Streitereien mit seinem Bruderherz Liam hatte Noel Gallagher sich im Herbst 2009 von der großen Bühne des Rock und seiner langjährigen Band Oasis verabschiedet. Der in einem Arbeiterviertel von Manchester bzw. „Madchester" aufgewachsene Noel war den zahlreichen Verlockungen des Rockstar-Daseins zwar nicht abgeneigt, auf der Bühne spielte er jedoch stets den ruhigeren Part im musikalischen Klangbild der legendären Britpop-Helden. Als exzellenter Sänger und kreativer Kopf der Band hat er den erfolgreichen Oasis-Sound maßgeblich geprägt. Nun hat Noel Gallagher den ersten Geniestreich seiner neuen Band, das selbstbetitelte Album „Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds", auf den Weg gebracht. Die ersten Single-Auskopplungen „The Death Of You And Me", „AKA... What A Life!" und „If I Had A Gun" zeigen bereits klar die etwas gefühlvollere Tonart der Band an. Mit durchdachten Texten und perfekt austarierten Riffs brennt Noel Gallagher die Songs in das Bewusstsein seiner treuen Fans.

Rockpalast zeichnet ein Highlight des Kölner Konzertkalenders für Euch auf: Seid hautnah dabei wenn mit Noel Gallagher ein Großmeister des Songwriting auf die Bühne zurückkehrt. Vor ausverkauftem Haus im Kölner Palladium präsentiert er das erste Studioalbum seiner High Flying Birds.

In der Presse war über das großartige Debut der Band u.a. zu lesen:

„... was Noel hier geschaffen hat, ist nicht weniger als sein substanziellstes musikalisches Statement seit "Morning Glory". (Rolling Stone 10/11, 5 *****)

„Auch die Kühnsten haben nicht mit einem großartigen Album wie 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' gerechnet" (Berliner Morgenpost, 14.10.2011)

„Welch eine Wiedergeburt, angetrieben von einer freudetrunkenen Menge, die vom Oberrang aus jedes Wort mitsang, als stünde sie am Bug der Titanic" (Live-Review des London Evening Standards, 31.10.2011)

Wir freuen uns darauf, mit den kommenden Konzerten ein neues Kapitel in der Karriere eines fantastischen, inspirierten Künstlers aufschlagen zu können.

Seine Shows werden präsentiert vom Rolling Stone, event.-magazin und tape.tv sowie vielen namhaften lokalen Medienpartnern.

Tickets für die Konzerte werden ab Freitag, den 4.11., 10.00 h an allen Vorverkaufsstellen erhältlich sein sowie im Netz unter www.realartistgroup.com/tickets.
