Oasis

Oasis were an English rock band that formed in Manchester in 1991. Originally known as The Rain, the group was formed by Liam Gallagher (vocals and tambourine), Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs (guitar), Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan (bass guitar) and Tony McCarroll (drums, percussion), who were soon joined by Liam's older brother Noel Gallagher (lead guitar and vocals). As of June 2009, Oasis had sold more than 70 million records worldwide.[1] They have had eight UK number-one singles, seven UK number-one albums, fifteen NME Awards, nine Q Awards, four MTV Europe Music Awards and six BRIT Awards, including one in 2007 for outstanding contribution to music and one for the best album of the last 30 years as voted by the BBC Radio 2 listeners, and also for being nominated for three Grammy Awards.

No Flash, and Liam Gallagher's Flowery Shirt Conundrum
You too can meet Oasis’ Liam Gallagher! But only if you buy something from his new clothing range - then you can meet the surly, set-jawed man himself, in Manchester, next week. Parka-wearing gents, form a disorderly queue. Now, I like Liam Gallagher. He’s one of the last proper rock stars - not despicably pious like Bono, not laughably wet like Chris Martin.

Doll and The Kicks - Camden Barfly 9 October 2009
Doll & The Kicks by Indigo Burns It’s a routine trip out to the Barfly. However, as usual, there are unexpected treats to be found if you look about. The first band onstage are the difficult-to-Google ‘Ray’. They have a laconic and cheery front man (let’s call him ‘Jack Kansas’) and they play basic, guitar-heavy rock. They aren’t revolutionary, but...
