When Oasis split up, many of us breathed a massive sigh of relief. They’ve been churning out toothless, thundering-pain-in-the-stomach rock for so long that it really did seem like they would fulfil Damon Albarn’s prophecy of becoming the new Status Quo.
However, they did the right thing and split up before one of the Gallagher brothers killed each other. But that wasn’t the end of it.
Of course, Liam has now formed Beady Eye, a band that imaginatively features the Oasis backing band put together by Noel. And their new single, ‘Bring The Light’, came out and thrilled as many as it confused. And now, there’s a promotional video to stare at.
The track itself, is clearly Liam digging into the vaults of John Lennon’s mind, this time, going toward Lennon’s obsession with Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran (notably the latter, making a hash of ‘Somethin’ Else’).
However, this track does serve a purpose. It still retains a certain swagger that made everyone take notice of Oasis in the first place… a thing that is, even at its most irritating, is still more fun that watching mewing shagsacks like Florence and the Machine, Coldplay and Mumford and Sons all staring at their feet and meeeeaning it maaaaan.
And so, with OasisLite chugging through some ’50s-meets-’60s indierock, with a dash of added ‘Proud Mary’ Tina Turners in the background, they’ve got a video to show you and…
…you’ll probably hate it if you didn’t like Oasis in the first place and… well… if you did, Christ knows what you lot think. We haven’t got all day to try and work out whether you just like posturing singers or whether you genuinely are the thick-skulled hooligans you pass yourselves off to be when you go down the indie disco with a liver full of Stella.
Here’s Beady Eye’s new video.

I like Noel’s comment. Liam is the man who put the Tit in attitude. :lol:
