Live4ever and our sister-site The Oasis Newsroom are offering one lucky reader the chance to win a limited edition Beady Eye box-set courtesy of Dangerbird Records.

The box-set, of which just 2000 copies have been pressed will feature 7-inch singles of the post-Oasis band’s debut track ‘Bring The Light‘, follow-up promo ‘Four Letter Word‘ and first single proper ‘The Roller’, as well as three b-sides previously un-released outside the United Kingdom.

After a press conference lasting nearly an hour in which Noel Gallagher carefully offered his new solo album news and thoughts on Oasis‘ split, Liam Gallagher has responded with a one-word tweet which simply reads: “SHITBAG”.

It is being left to interpretation as to what the comment is referencing, though Noel’s comments on the Paris fight which ended with him walking out on the band is likely to have been of prime concern to Liam and his fellow Beady Eye bandmates.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably already familiar with the story behind the formation of Beady Eye. If you’re not, here’s the short, short version: in the Fall of 2009 the Oasis brothers, Noel and Liam Gallagher, get into a heated argument, which may or may not have involved the destruction of one or more musical instruments, Noel quits the band, Liam and the other band members decide to carry on. Fast forward to the spring of 2011 when what essentially boils down to Oasis minus Noel Gallagher drop their debut album, Different Gear, Still Speeding, under the new moniker Beady Eye.

Paul Weller is to design a range of clothing for Liam Gallagher‘s successful label Pretty Green, it was announced today.

We’re Going To Bring Guitar Music Back!

If timing is everything in music, Viva Brother might just be on to something. At a time when any young music fan usually needs to trawl down somewhere far below the Top 40 to find traces of where the latest band trying to make an impact can be found, and needs to delve back at least a decade to find the last group of musicians who dared to suggest they could change your life, these four young dreamers, who initially longed simply to break free of the industrial clutches of their hometown Slough, now have a bored generation wondering if they might just be the band to re-awaken rock n roll from its prolonged slumber.

It’s exactly a year since Noel Gallagher graced the stage at the Royal Albert Hall to play for the Teenage Cancer Trust, and tonight he was in danger of upstaging his younger brother’s new band without even showing up. This was thanks to a video montage that highlighted some of the previous artists that had performed at the event, prompting huge cheers every time Noel appeared on the screen. Liam was quick to put everyone straight as soon as he arrived on stage after being introduced by Who legend Rodger Daltry. “This aint no fookin’ Noel Gallagher gig” he sniped. Looking every inch the rock star, Liam swaggered towards his microphone, draped in a sharp navy suede jacket, sporting that trademark shaggy barnet that he made the must-have hairstyle of the 90’s for his legion of devotees. Launching straight into Four Letter Word, it’s clear that this song was born to open gigs. Loud, confident, menacing and sounding even better than it does on the record, the roof of the Royal Albert Hall is prematurely torn off.

Beady Eye announce today their first North American tour dates. The band (Liam Gallagher, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock) will be giving fans a first live taste of their debut album, Different Gear, Still Speeding in a series of concerts beginning in Chicago on June 18th, followed by Toronto on June 20th and New York on June 23rd.
