Liam dumps Oasis brand

Although Liam Gallagher's new band will feature most of Oasis, and is almost certain to sound like Oasis, and is about as eagerly-awaited as a late-period Oasis album, it won't be called Oasis.

That's for certain:

"No, it's not Oasis, that was a shit name anyway," Gallagher told radio station XFM. "I'm glad to see the back of it."

"There's a name that we're digging at the moment, but we're going to get on with the music and see how it goes."

You're digging a name, are you, you crazy hepcat you?
