YOU ARE MY DOVE Fri Feb 8th 1991

You had a three-year rave phase at the Haçienda in the late 1980s. Did you ever try to make dance music? Noel: When those ecstasy pills came out called doves I did a track with (future Oasis producer) Mark Coyle called You Are My Dove. It sounded a bit like Sneaker Pimps.

Lot 280. Oasis Demo Tapes, 1991 and 1992

The consignor (a student at Thames Polytechnic at the time) of these tapes met Noel Gallagher at a house party in late 1991. Gallagher mentioned that he'd recently joined a band and would send over some demo tapes. They received the tapes late in 1991 and subsequently booked Oasis for a charity gig on 19 April 1992 at the Thames Polytechnic Student Union, Dartford Campus. Bands The Ya Ya's and World Jones Made were also on the bill. This gig was the first time Oasis (with Noel as part of the band) had performed outside of Manchester. The first tape's tracks are dated "Feb 8th 1991" and "August 1991." This tape features "a bit of Columbia," the fifth track off the debut album Definitely Maybe, which was often positioned in live sets as an opener, including at the 1996 Knebworth concerts. The second tape is a live recording of one of the band's Boardwalk gigs, dated "14 Jan '92."

Supersonic (2016)

The Oasis documentary. Mat Whitehall’s film about the rise and rise of the Brother’s Gallagher in the mid 90s that them proclaiming themselves the biggest band in the World playing biggest Concerts in UK History at Knebworth Park (the record was broken again shortly after by that Fat piece of Shit from Take That).

This is not a bad movie. It focuses on a short, mad time and as mentioned above does not drift in the 00s when things went rather south. It is a film with tales of hi-jinx, drugs and fighting. It is very laddy, it will appeal to most but especially to those mid 90s fans with the terrible haircuts.

This movie, like the band has swagger and spirit and like them is rather amusing and very quotable. Noel in particular really is a very amusing chap whilst Liam is less of dick that you he might appear.

This uses photographs and rare real footage rather than talking heads and has some nice live and rare versions of the classic Definitely Maybe and What’s The Story era songs.

Not a huge expose but a nice commemorative, celebration piece that I found thoroughly entertaining.

"What can I say you know. I'm a bit of a cunt!"

"I guess in some way my Father beat the talent into me".

“Oasis was like a Ferrari: great to look at, great to drive, and it’ll fucking spin out of control every now and again”. 

“It was fucking biblical, man”.

“We were just lads from a council estate. Two brothers. Head cases”.

You had a three-year rave phase at the Haçienda in the late 1980s. Did you ever try to make dance music? When those ecstasy pills came out called doves I did a track with (future Oasis producer) Mark Coyle called You Are My Dove. It sounded a bit like Sneaker Pimps. Those three years in the Haçienda, that was life. The outside world did not exist, the future didn't exist. It was just the nightclub and the music and the drugs.

Ecstasy Dove pill. One of the original doves making the rounds of Manchester in 1988.

A shipment of over 15,000 pills were smuggled in to the UK from Amsterdam by people close to the Happy Mondays in late 1987, and these fuelled the rise of acid house in the north of the UK, according to someone familiar with the band and the deal. These friends of the Mondays began to sell it in an alcove near the speakers in the Haçienda known as “E corner”. A third group of user-dealers from Manchester told me they bought 200 pills in from the US in 1987, which they say were handed out like a sacrament at Stuffed Olives, a gay club in Manchester. Everyone wants to claim the Ecstasy crown, but it’s perhaps more romantic to leave the central origin myth of rave culture a little mysterious. In the clubs, meanwhile, short hairstyles fell out of favour to flowing hippy locks, with baggy clothes, fezes, or silk pyjamas reported in the weirder corners of Mancunian nightlife. The soundtrack was just as weird and radical: acid house.

The Haçienda was knocked down in 2002 and turned into apartments, however the club still remains legendary in rave culture. Through 15 years of famous DJs, drug abuse and club anthems, this club was an icon for Manchester in the 1980s and 1990s.

Does anyone know where Mark Coyle is today ? Did he even go to a reunion show ?

Também não sei sobre ele, mas acho que ele não deve ter participado.

Se alguém souber, poderia nos dizer por favor?

Mark Coyle about Digsy: He was once described to me as you meet him, it's like opening a bag of monkeys.

Digsy: nonsense

MC: That's exactly what he's like.

NG: He's a funny, funny fella.

I’ve noticed there is no pics of Mark Coyle at the concerts. Thought some of his old mates from Manchester back then would be there. Also wonder what Louise Jones thinks of all of this ?

Talvez ele não conseguiu ingressos, talvez ele estava lá e só não foi reconhecido, talvez ele não quis ir... definitivamente talvez! kkkkkkkkkk até depois da turnê ainda vai sair fotos de todos os shows, mas mesmo que ele não tenha ido, não vejo alarde nisso!

E não soubemos a opinião da Louise nem no auge absoluto do Oasis nos anos 90, então não vai ser agora que ela irá aparecer perante a mídia e o público pra falar algo! E acho melhor assim, ao menos uma das ex do Noel tem noção e auto respeito!
