And they are called Beady Eye.

"LIAM GALLAGHER has finally named his new band - and BEADY EYE bear a striking resemblance to his old one.

The quartet are essentially OASIS with one important key factor missing - Liam's brother NOEL.

The final Oasis line-up featured Liam on vocals, CHRIS SHARROCK on drums, ANDY BELL on bass and GEMARCHER on guitar, as do Beady Eye.

But one big difference is the new band's choice of producer - U2 mastermind STEVE LILLYWHITE, who was responsible for establishing the Irish rockers' trademark chiming guitar sound and has gone on to be one of the best-regarded producers in modern rock.

But we'll have to wait a fair while to hear the fruits of his labours with Beady Eye.

I understand they won't be unveiling any new music until next year."
