Ex-Oasis members Beady Eye head back to U.S.

See my previous posts for a Q&A with Andy Bell...

Beady Eye announce their full return to North America with tour dates this fall. 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. 

The band just wrapped a quick run of shows in New York, Chicago, Toronto and Philadelphia to rave reviews. Beady Eye will be joined by Matt Jones on keyboards and Jeff Wootton on bass for all dates. 

Fans can see Beady Eye's just released video for "The Beat Goes On" that was filmed during their recent performance at the Isle of Wight Festival here:

Beady Eye's debut album, Different Gear, Still Speeding was released by Dangerbird Records in North America on March 1.

Upon reviewing Different Gear, Still Speeding, The Boston Globe stops the naysayers in their tracks and warns, "For all those who thought Liam Gallagher would be musically astray without big brother Noel, meet Beady Eye."

Paste noted that Beady Eye "...sounds like Oasis returning to its less complicated roots, stripping back the heavily overdubbed layers of their curtain call, 2008's Dig Out Your Soul. Beady Eye aren't here to dick around-they're here to rock. And it would be a lie to say they've failed in that regard; this is an album of live, full-band rock 'n' roll energy, built on Rickenbacker crunch and Ludwig thump. There's no time for frills-Gallagher and company are making up for lost time."

Beady Eye was formed by three former members of Oasis, including enigmatic front man and lead vocalist Liam Gallagher. The multi-platinum and Grammy nominated Oasis sold over 70 million albums worldwide spanning seven studio albums awarded with six Brit awards, 15 NME awards, nine Q awards and four MTV Europe Music awards, just to name a few.
