Noel Gallagher brings Oasis bandmate Gem Archer for a quick Australian tour.
In a very late announcement, hot on the heels of their Best Of 'Stop The Clocks', the two will play four semi-acoustic shows in the middle of December as a plug for the album. Noel and Gem have already played these types of showcases in London, Los Angeles, Toronto and Tokyo, knocking out a virtual greatest hits set on guitar, organ and featuring Terry Kirkbride on percussion.Reports from LA and Toronto said that Gallagher aired Oasis' 'Lord Don't Slow Me Down' film from their 2005 tour which is slated for a 2007 release. It featured performances, backstage footage, interviews and tour bus action and doesn't shy away from the ever-entertaining niggling between Liam and Noel.
In fact, Noel has been yapping even more during press for the album. He recently chided Arctic Monkeys for being embarrassed about chart success. He declared, "If you're not in the charts, you don't exist. I went in there to get Phil Collins' severed head in my fridge by the end of the decade."
Westlife's 'The Love Album' beat 'Stop The Clocks' to the top of the UK charts this week when both albums debuted.
