BAND CASE STUDY

In Manchester, 1991 a band was formed, They were called The Rain and if u asked most of the british public who they were, they would probably tell you they've never heard of them. But if I was to say the iconic name of the lead vocalist, you will know who they became.

Liam Gallagher formed The Rain with Paul Arthurs, Paul McGuian and Tony McCarroll. However everything changed when Liams older brother Noel Gallagher joining when the band changed their name to Oasis.

Oasis were signed to independent record label Creation Records, releasing their record-setting debut album Definitely Maybe in 1994.

1995 saw a new side of oasis with public rivalry with Blur as well as public feuds between the two brothers.

1997 witnessed the release of oasis third album which became the fastest selling uk album of all time, however lost band members Paul McGuigan and Paul Arthurs.

2000 came the album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants.

2002 Heathen Chemistry was the next album released being the last album with the contribution of long time drummer Alan White.

2005 saw dont believe the truth, the 6th studio album.

2008 saw the last studio album of oasis dig out your soul, nothing special was to come from this album which came to great dissapointment as 2009 came shock.

2009 saw the end of oasis as noel claimed enough was enough and tells how he can never work with his brother again.

song:
What became of the likley lads

Please don't get me wrong
See I forgive you in a song
Will call the Likely Lads
But if it's left to you
I know exactly what you'd do
With all the dreams we had
Just blood runs thicker, oh
We're as thick as thieves, you know
If that's important to you
It's important to me
I tried to make you see
But you don't wanna know
You don't want to know!

If you pipe all summer long
Then get forgiven in a song
Well that's a touch, my lad
They sold the rights to all the wrongs
And when they knew you'd give me songs
Welcome back, I said
The blood runs thicker, oh
We're as thick as thieves, you know
If that's important to you
It's important to me
I tried to make you see
But you don't wanna know
You don't want to know!

Oh what became of the Likely Lads?
What became of the dreams we had?
Oh what became of forever?
Oh what became of forever?
Though, we'll never know

Please don't get me wrong
See I forgive you in a song
Will call the Likely Lads
We all bought the ones
We taught 'em all
we wrote the songs
That's filled with dreams we have
But blood runs thicker, oh
We're as thick as thieves, you know
If that's important to you
It's important to me
I tried to make you see
But you don't wanna know
You don't want to know!

Oh what became of the Likely Lads?
What became of the dreams we had?
Oh what became of forever?
Oh what became of forever?
We'll never know!

HERE I GO AGAIN ON MY OWN!!!

Here it is A2 of the media studies course and its time for me to show my musical side...
we are required to shoot our own music video to an exsiting song posed as a new band/artist with us having the freedom to shoot it however we want be it animation or straight footage, the tough part for me will probably trying to choose the song.

we also need to create a CD/DVD cover for the the fictional band, as well as write up a magazine advert for the bands new track.

well i have already put some of the songs im considering below, to give myself a rough idea in what i might go for.
