Noel announced the details of his solo album at a press conference today! I am SO excited about this, much moreso than Beady Eye, as Noel really is one of my all time favorite songwriters.
The album will be called 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' and it's out October 17th. (18th in the US.) He'll be doing a 'low key' solo tour of 'major cities'. (Praying for a Chicago date!) And he WILL be playing Oasis songs on the tour, saying "They’re my songs, I wrote them myself, I’m proud of them. Otherwise, it’d be like Paul McCartney just playing Wings stuff.”
He's also completed a second album that he just called 'experimental', a collaboration with Amorphous Androgynous, that will come out in 2012.
He also commented briefly on the split with Oasis and what he thinks of Beady Eye.
