Oasis Documentary Takes it to the Streets...

Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul In The Streets


Starting last Wednesday, January 14th, MySpace Music and Oasis' MySpace profile page will be premiering an exclusive 18 minute Oasis documentary shot by The Malloys. It will mark the first HD debut of a documentary in the history of MySpace Music.

The Malloys - who have directed numerous White Stripes videos - followed Oasis last September in the lead up to the release of their number one album, 'Dig Out Your Soul'.

Liam, Gem and Andy traveled to the City of New York (nycgo.com) where they taught street musicians to play a number of the new songs. The selected street musicians came from all parts of the city, and had a variety of different ethnic, musical and creative backgrounds. The street musicians rehearsed and then performed the previously unheard new songs at locations throughout the City including MTA approved subway station platforms at Grand Central, Times Square, Penn Station and Astor Place, subtly premiering the album before it came out.

The Malloys followed Oasis and the street musicians through the process and created the 18 minute black and white documentary.
