Tony McCarroll was the original drummer for the Brit-Pop band Oasis and founding member, active from 1994-April 1995.
Supersonic charts the meteoric rise of Oasis from the council estates of Manchester to some of the biggest concerts of all time in just three short years. This palpable, raw and moving film shines a light on one of the most genre and generation-defining British bands that has ever existed and features candid new interviews with Noel and Liam Gallagher, their mother, and members of the band and road crew.
Where were you at the start of 1994? This was going to be the year it would all change, it was parkas, shades, a sense of celebration. Oasis were the backing for all those lost nights in and mad nights out. Definitely Maybe was as Noel says "what was missing in a lot of people's lives". Oasis' Definitely Maybe is a way to experience the album in a way never before possible. This is the real story behind one of the fastest-selling debut albums of all time.
Live By the Sea is Oasis in their earlier days. Playing at a small venue at Southend Cliffs Oasis play 16 of their own songs and close their show with a mesmerizing cover of 'I am the Walrus' by the Beatles. They play nearly all their songs from their record-breaking debut album 'Definitely Maybe' and throw in a few b-sides for good measure. This is rock 'n' roll at its finest.
