Until their end in 2009, Britpop kings Oasis were one of rock's biggest and most successful bands, selling some 70 million records worldwide. Impressive stuff. But singer Liam Gallagher is aiming to top that with his new group Beady Eye.

Liam Gallagher and two of his former bandmates are officially in the studio, recording material for their first post-Oasis album -- and now their new band has a name: Beady Eyes.

Liam Gallagher and two of his former bandmates -- armed with eight already-written songs -- plan to hit the studio in April as part of their push towards a new, post-Oasis career.

During Oasis' two-decade existence, the Gallagher Bros. have notoriously been at ends. But it seems Liam has waited for the Britpop band to split-up before delivering the biggest insult yet at his older sibling, Noel: continuing under the Oasis namesake without the founding member and chief songwriter.

Since Oasis' acrimonious split in August, guitarist/songwriter Noel Gallagher has been busy readying a solo album, while his brother, singer Liam Gallagher, focuses on his new clothing line, Pretty Green. But that's all set to change: The cocky Brit singer is preparing to return to the stage!

When news broke Friday evening that Oasis' show in France was cancelled suddenly, not simply due to the "altercation" that the promoters, hilariously, cited to the 40,000 disappointed fans in attendance, but because Noel Gallagher up and quit the band, initial reaction was somewhat muted: Hadn't we seen this movie before?

Nope, oddly enough.
