Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds North American Tour [Video]

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds will embark on their debut North American tour kicking off on November 7th in Toronto, ON at Massey Hall. The following day, Noel's solo debut album NOEL GALLAGHER'S HIGH FLYING BIRDS will be released on November 8th in the U.S. on Sour Mash/Mercury Records.

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds was recorded in London and completed in Los Angeles during 2010 and the first half of 2011. The album was co-produced by Noel Gallagher and Dave Sardy, who produced the last Oasis album, Dig Out Your Soul (2008).

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds press conference in London

At a press conference earlier this summer announcing his new project, Noel stated that the band would be performing classic Oasis tracks along with his new solo material. "I'm proud of them and of what they mean to people," he said of the Oasis repertoire. "I'll never do a gig without playing them. They're like drugs to me."

And when asked by his manager who the High Flying Birds are, Noel responded "They aren't anyone in particular. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds is me and whoever is around at the time of whatever it is that I'm doing, a loose collective kinda thing."

On August 30th, the first U.S. single "If I Had A Gun" from Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds will make its radio debut on World Famous KROQ, Los Angeles. "If I Had A Gun" will be available at all digital retailers on September 20, 2011.

On November 10th, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds will make their network television debut on the Late Show With David Letterman.

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds marks Gallagher's first solo album project since the 2009 split of multi-platinum band Oasis.

As songwriter, guitarist and producer of Oasis since the band's inception in 1993, Noel Gallagher was at the helm for their global success, from the launch of their first indie UK singles in 1994 to their final shows together in the summer of 2009. Over the course of their seven consecutive #1 studio albums, Oasis sold over 70 million records worldwide and charted 22 consecutive Top 10 UK hits from 1995 to 2008 (including eight #1's), creating an astounding historical record.

Fans can watch the webcast chat that Noel did earlier this week that has been posted to YouTube.
