- Oasis are a rock band originally formed in the Burnage area of Manchester, England. The band is led by principal songwriter, lead guitarist, and occasional vocalist Noel Gallagher and his younger brother lead vocalist/songwriter Liam Gallagher, who are the only remaining original band members. Musically and lyrically, they cite bands such as the British Invasion bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Kinks amongst their extensive influences as well as 1970s glam rock music, such as Slade and T. Rex.
Thanks to the success of their critically acclaimed debut album Definitely Maybe and its 19 million selling follow-up (What's The Story) Morning Glory?, coupled with a supposed rivalry with contemporary band Blur, Oasis became one of the most successful and prominent British bands of the mid-90s and one of the leaders of the Britpop movement. The Gallagher brothers featured regularly in tabloid newspaper stories, and cultivated a reputation as both bad boys and the band of the people. At the height of their fame, their 1997 third album Be Here Now reached #1 in the UK charts and also became the fastest-selling album in chart history, with almost half a million copies sold on the first day alone.
Having survived the loss of founding members and sustaining support from their loyal fan base, Oasis have managed to outlast many of their Britpop contemporaries. Suede, Pulp and some other peer groups have split up, or record only infrequently, while Oasis maintain a regular schedule of releases and touring to popular acclaim. Their latest album Don't Believe The Truth, released in 2005, was a commercial success and warmly revieved by critics. Oasis have sold more than 50 million records worldwide (inclusive of singles).
As a result of the end of the contract between Oasis and Sony Music, "Stop The Clocks", a greatest hits album covering their entire career to date, will be released on 20 November 2006.

NEW DVD OUT TODAY!!!!!
What happens when a film maker follows one of the world’s biggest bands on a year long world tour? What happens when the film maker is granted unique access to that band, is present for the ups and downs, the moments of greatness and the periods of the same interview in 10 different languages in as many days? What happens when that band is Oasis, travelling across 26 countries on their biggest world tour to date playing to a total of over 2 million people?
The answer is ‘Lord Don’t Slow Me Down’, a double DVD set that not only gives you the definitive feature length documentary seen in selected cinemas last year, but also the option of voice over commentaries from the band, a Noel Gallagher Q & A session with fans from New York City, out takes from the film, and a second 90 minute bonus disc capturing the band’s homecoming show at the City of Manchester Stadium together with footage sent in by fans from around the world who attended that show. If you wanted to know what the members of Oasis make of their lives on tour and their audience, then the answers are on these two discs.
Directed by Baillie Walsh who has previously worked with Massive Attack (he made ‘Safe From Harm’), Spiritualised, New Order and Kylie’s Slow, and is now working on a film with Daniel Craig, this DVD set is a compendium of Oasis entertainment par excellence.

Donavon Gallagher...a genius in the making??
Noel Gallagher's newborn baby boy is already having the innate Oasis swagger pressed upon him, according to a newspaper report.
Donovan Rory MacDonald Gallagher, born weighing 7lbs 5oz on Saturday, is the first child for Gallagher with girlfriend Sara MacDonald.
The Sun quotes a text sent by Noel to friends and family as saying "he will be a legend… give thanks and praise".
The somewhat ambitious tag is already evidence that the Gallagher brand of laid-back self-confidence is being passed on to another generation and shrewd betters are already seeking odds on the lad proving himself a hit-making machine like his dad.
With a name like Donovan that seems assured, but it could all have gone horribly wrong if Noel's initial naming instincts had their way.
A family friend told the Sun: "During the pregnancy Noel was calling the bump Little Sven. He said he wanted to name the lad after the [Manchester] City boss. Luckily he's ended up as Donovan."

"I live my life for the stars that shine
People say it's just a waste of time
When they said I should feed my head
That to me was just a day in bed
I'll take my car and drive real far
To where they're not concerned about the way we are
Cos in my mind my dreams are real
Are you concerned about the way I feel"1 Comment 824 days
