RELIGION and rock have never mixed that well, but the BBC is hoping to change all that with a spectacular live televised event in Manchester this Easter.

Manchester Passion will be a huge public spectacle, with streets closed to traffic as a Good Friday procession makes its way through the city centre with the promise of music by major Manchester bands being involved in the parade behind a huge crucifix.

It’s the BBC’s follow-up to award-winning public opera event Flashmob that caused a stir in London and Sheffield, and will be produced by the same TV team.

TV bosses hope “major artists” will be involved in the contemporary retelling of the last few hours in the life of Jesus – and are targeting the likes of Oasis, New Order, The Hollies and ex-members of 10CC.

Spectacle

“It should be an amazing public spectacle,” predicts outgoing BBC3 controller Stuart Murphy.

“We plan to tell the story of the crucifixion in a way that is a lot more modern. It will involve lots of crowds and an enormous cross – and, hopefully, a lot of big names.”

The event, to be screened live on Good Friday evening, will mix the words of the Bible with versions of popular songs by Manchester bands from the last 30 years – perhaps the likes of Stone Roses’ classic I Am The Ressurrection would be fitting.

Explained a BBC spokeswoman: “The music will be given a vibrant new twist and is performed by the characters in the drama, accompanied by a string band and well-known local musicians. It takes its inspiration from the way Bach and other composers fused music and the Passion story.”

The digital channel won a Golden Rose award for Flashmob – The Opera, which staged a contemporary opera on the busy concourse at London’s Paddington station in October 2004, including a 62-piece orchestra, choir of singing policemen and chorus of football fans.

A second event was staged last April at the Meadowhall shopping centre in Sheffield, involving professional performers, local schoolchildren and other members of the community.

The public will be encouraged to join the Manchester procession, which will pass through several streets before ending up in Albert Square.

BBC Commissioning Editor for Arts, Music and Religion Adam Kemp says: “We are excited by the possibility of introducing a new audience to the rich history of the Passion Plays.

“We’re looking forward to involving the people of Manchester in this moving live event and hopefully encouraging them to look on familiar songs with fresh eyes.”

THE Gallagher brothers are at it again. Arriving in Brisbane yesterday, the front men of Brit-rockers Oasis were at their infamous brawling best.

“We fell out,” Liam said, as brother Noel sat sullenly waiting for their tour bus.

“I don’t think he wants to be photographed with me. We’re not getting along too well. I don’t even think he’ll get on the bus with me.”

The band’s guitarist and chief songwriter, Noel, refused to join singer Liam and the rest of the band and travelled on his own to the Brisbane Entertainment Centre for the first show in their national tour.

Brawling and Brisbane are not a new concept for Oasis. In 1998, Liam head-butted and broke a fan’s nose outside the Quay West Hotel.

“If you’re asking about that lad the last time I was here, if anyone starts it again, they’ll get the f——ing same,” Liam said, although he happily chatted to fans at the airport.

“They’re the best, there is no one else like them,” Jared Kranz, 22, of Karana Downs in Brisbane, said. “It was so easy to talk to them, it’s brilliant.”

The soccer-loving Liam paid tribute to the late George Best and chatted with the Queensland Roar team, who were on the same flight from Sydney.

Last night Oasis played to 6500 fans, storming through their back catalogue and their latest album, Don’t Believe the Truth.

Gallaghers streiten mal wieder

So ist das nun mal unter Geschwistern: Immer wieder sorgen Liam (33) und Noel (38) Gallagher für handfeste Schlagzeilen. Manchmal können sich Brüder aus Manchester einfach überhaupt nicht ausstehen und zögern nicht, ihren Streit in der Öffentlichkeit auszutragen.

Wie die “Sun” in ihrer Online-Ausgabe berichtet, sind die beiden Musiker jetzt wieder schwer aneinander geraten, nachdem sie 24 Stunden lang in einem Flugzeug saßen. Die Brüder waren zusammen mit ihrer Band Oasis unterwegs nach Australien, um dort ihre Tournee fortzusetzen. Nach ihrer Landung in Brisbane weigerten sich die Streithähne aber, zusammen in ein und denselben Luxus-Bus zu steigen, der sie vom Flughafen abholen sollte.

Was genau während des Langstreckenfluges vorfiel, ist nicht bekannt. Liam Gallagher soll nach der Ankunft nur laut geschimpft haben, dass sein Bruder sich nicht mehr mit ihm zusammen fotografieren lassen wolle.

Noel Gallagher knows the score, says Michael Dwyer.

REGRETS? Noel Gallagher has two. The first is not taking a year off after Oasis played Knebworth in August 1996, the peak of their Supersonic/ Wonderwall golden years.

The 250,000-strong homecoming fulfilled their destiny as saviours of British rock. The inevitable slide into exhaustion and mediocrity effectively began the next morning.

“The second is changing brands of cigarettes,” the songwriter says, blowing smoke from his Barcelona hotel window, ” ’cause Marlboro Lights are a ladies’ fag and it makes me feel less of a man when I spark one up in the morning.”

They’re minor quibbles, really, 10 years after the infamous Blur versus Oasis comedy made Noel Gallagher rich and famous. His and his brother Liam’s sixth album, Don’t Believe the Truth, is another bloated wall of distorted guitars and vacuous macho bluster that both signifies and seals his contentment “I meet people in bands and they’re obsessed with pushing things forward,” he says.

“I just wanna stay the same, which kinda makes me unique, so that’ll do me.”

Bands like Radiohead and REM and U2 and Coldplay are constantly trying to change who they are, and I wonder if it’s because their personal lives are so rock-solid that they need to constantly destroy and re-create in their professional lives.”

My personal life is f–kin’ chaos, right? Everything outside of my music is falling apart and being re-created on a weekly basis. So I have to have something that’s solid as a rock and that is my f–kin’ music. Thank f–k for this band, you knowarramean?

“I don’t wanna be in the studio going, ‘What are we on now? Are we doing reggae or space jazz? Oh, it’s the Beatles?’ That’ll do me, thanks very much, I f–kin’ know where I am with that. I’m good at that.”

In theory, Oasis are even better at that since Zak Starkey, son of Ringo, became their drummer last year.

Gallagher prefers not to dwell on the dynastic implications. “It might freak me out,” he says. “I might wake up from a dream and I’ll be in a band with (fashion designer) Stella McCartney instead.”

Neither is he inclined to read too much history into his latest choice of album titles. Since Oasis arrived in a snowstorm of British music press hype in 1994, many observers have found the alleged truth of their greatness hard to believe.

On their first visit here in ’98, most Australians agreed they were a first-rate media circus with a pretty lame musical score. The same description applies to most British acts that have emerged from the machinery that Oasis set in motion.

IT was a case of Britpop meets New York rock when Oasis jetted into Sydney in time to catch up with pals The Strokes on Wednesday.

Once revered as the bad boys of the UK rock’n'roll scene, the Oasis lads made their presence known within hours of hitting town.

The Gallagher brothers – Noel and Liam – and bandmates Andy Bell, Gem and Zak Starkey ignored jetlag and the option of a quiet night in to catch up with their Manhattan counterparts.

Liam watched The Strokes jam-packed performance of their new album, First Impressions Of Earth, from the wings of the Gaelic Club on Wednesday, while Noel and the others watched from a tiny roped-off VIP area upstairs.

After the show both bands, minders and various music industry hangers-on, including celebrity groupie Tom Williams, headed to their city hotel and partied in the bar until the early hours.

Both the Gallagher boys were in fine form, keeping the party-goers giggling, particularly when older brother Noel was directing his sharp wit at his younger sibling.

The pair went their separate ways yesterday with Noel preferring to check out the shops while Liam whiled away the afternoon with a cruise on Sydney harbour, stopping for a frosty ale at Doyle’s in Watson’s Bay.

Denim fan Noel stocked up on a couple of pairs of duds from the exclusive Nudie Jeans in Paddington, uncharacteristically shunning limos and drivers for a couple of cabs.

The brothers and their band will head to BrisVegas tomorrow, before returning to Sydney to rock out at the Hordern Pavilion on Monday and Tuesday nights.

Former OASIS drummer TONY McCARROLL, who was sacked from the British supergroup in 1995, is suing the lawyers who failed to win him compensation – for the second time.

The rocker wants to exact revenge on the legal team who failed to win his bid for $32.4 million (GBP18 million) damages from the band when they axed him.

McCarroll, who worked on hit Oasis album DEFINITELY MAYBE, claims he had a five-album contract and had been “unlawfully expelled from the partnership”.

The drummer was forced to settle for just $990,000 (GBP550,000) compensation. He immediately sacked and sued his lawyers, but a judge dismissed the case.

McCarroll’s legal spokesperson refused to comment on the progress of his second court attempt.

Oasis have never been strangers to controversy, and Noel Gallagher has been back in the news with some strong comments about the current crop of British bands. In an interview with Australia’s Triple J radio station, the band’s leader was asked about groups such as Franz Ferdinand, the Kaiser Chiefs and Bloc Party.

“Let’s call it what it is–it’s indie s—, is what it is,” he said. “None of them are trying to make it big. They’re all trying to make it small or medium–that’s it.”

Not trying to make it big is an accusation that could never be aimed at the Gallagher brothers. The very first track on their debut album declared: “I’m a rock ‘n’ roll star.”

Eleven years on, there’s no doubting their star status.

This week, Japanese audiences will get a second chance to see the band this year when they visit Osaka and Tokyo as part of their 2005 World Tour.

And they’ll be keen to show just how big they still are. In the Australian radio interview, 38-year-old Noel was not completely dismissive of the new wave of British music, saying he kind of liked Franz Ferdinand and Kaiser Chiefs–although he described Bloc Party as “just appalling”–but he lambasted all of them for a lack of ambition to become the best or biggest band in the world.

Whether or not Oasis can currently claim the mantle of Biggest Band in the World is open to debate, but they’re definitely in the top 10, much like the Gallaghers’ favorite soccer team, Manchester City, which is currently lying in a very respectable seventh in the English premier league.

The Manchester City link is not entirely spurious because it was a gig in the summer at Manchester City’s home ground, the City of Manchester Stadium, that prompted New Musical Express to say Oasis were “a band ready to join the likes of U2 as rock ‘n’ roll’s living custodians, but more importantly, a band with a creative future.”

The current tour is one of most extensive Oasis have ever made, and Japanese fans have already had a chance this year to see why tickets for the European and North American concerts were so difficult to find when the group played in Japan at Summer Sonic in August.

The three summer gigs, in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya, relied on material from this year’s Don’t Believe the Truth album, a release that Noel believes is the band’s best work since (What’s the Story) Morning Glory–though he also said that about Heathen Chemistry three years ago.

This time, though, his opinion was backed up by critical acclaim when it was recently voted Album of the Year by readers of Britain’s Q magazine.

At the summer dates, the band also offered up all the usual crowd-pleasers such as “Wonderwall” and, always a favorite in Japan, “Don’t Look Back in Anger.” In the past, Oasis have covered the Beatles’ “I am the Walrus” and a sprawling version can be found on The Masterplan compilation album.

Recently, though, the band have been finishing with the Who’s “My Generation,” one song that new drummer Zak Starkey, son of Ringo Starr, should be very familiar with after touring with Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey.

This tour offers a chance to see Oasis on their own at slightly smaller venues at a time when they’re back on a creative high, rather than the chemical highs that have reportedly marred previous gigs–though they’re probably a long way from taking any vows of abstinence.

And if reports of their last trip are to believed, don’t be surprised if you bump into Liam as you’re enjoying a Friday night beer in Tokyo’s Roppongi or Osaka’s Shinsaibashi.

Oasis will play Nov. 17, 7 p.m. at Osakajo Hall in Osaka, (06) 6535-5569; Nov. 20, 6 p.m. and Nov. 21, 7 p.m. at Yoyogi National Stadium in Harajuku, Tokyo, (03) 3444-6751.
