Rock Docs Podcast: Oasis: Supersonic with guest Brendan Dentino

Have you heard? Oasis are back. And with the Brothers Gallagher back onstage together and selling out venues across the world, Rock Docs is taking the opportunity to discuss a film about that legendary Britpop group from the ’90s (and ’00s). This week, your hosts Andy Keatts and David Lizerbram are discussing Oasis: Supersonic, a 2016 film about Oasis, directed by Mat Whitecross.

Oasis: Supersonic is a chronicle of the band’s rise right up to their triumphant shows at Knebworth in 1996—and it ends exactly there. Like Liam Gallagher, we are living in an eternal 1996. Along the way, we learn about the benefits of taking a hammer to the head, explore “the Oasis brothers” and their respective personas, and we discuss the time Noel Gallagher popped into a pub in San Diego to watch some footy.

This week’s guest is Brendan Dentino, an Oasis superfan who wrote the excellent article The hope and selfishness of Oasis, published on the Awkward Substack, run by friend of Treble and Rock Docs Ryan Bradford.

While you’re in the mood to read about Oasis, Andy and David also recommend 1995: The year Oasis made us want to live forever, right here on Treble.

Listen to the full episode below, and check out the trailer for the film.
