Having left Oasis the previous year after a typically turbulent
backstage row with brother Liam at Manchester's Heaton Park, the eldest
Gallagher sibling's first official foray into a "solo" career took off
in 2010 with Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, featuring the talents
of Gallagher, former Oasis keyboard player Mike Rowe, Lemon Trees
drummer Jeremy Stacey, and percussionist Lenny Castro. Cut from the same
arena-sized, melodic Brit-pop cloth as the band he helped bring to
prominence in the early '90s, the High Flying Birds released their debut
single, "If I Had a Gun," in August 2011, followed by an eponymous,
full-length debut in mid-October. It reached number one in the U.K.,
also performing well across the globe. In 2014, the single "In the Heat
of the Moment" preceded the release of the High Flying Birds' second
album, Chasing Yesterday in 2015. The band embarked on a promotional
tour for the record throughout the next two years. A remix album
entitled Where the City Meets the Sky: Chasing Yesterday: The Remixes,
saw release in the fall of 2015 and featured reworkings by the likes of
Andrew Weatherall and 3D of Massive Attack. A third effort, Who Built
the Moon?, was released in late 2017 and featured guest performances
from the likes of Paul Weller and Johnny Marr. The record was produced
with David Holmes (composer for movies such as Ocean's Thirteen and
'71).
