Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds Channel INXS, Bowie in Black Star Dancing


Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds released the video for their new single Black Star Dancing on Tuesday. Reminiscent of Spike JonzesHappy Days-inspired Buddy Holly video, Black Star Dancing depicts the band performing to a captive audience at the Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club in 1974, all through the magic of movie editing.

[The song] manages to combine the influences of David Bowie, INXS, U2, Queen, Indeep and ZZ Top FFS! I might have been watching too much Top Of The Pops recently anyway, its dope not my words, but the words of Nile Rodgers who literally danced in the studio when he heard it! said Gallagher in a statement.

Black Star Dancing is from the EP of the same name, out June 14th; itll also include the new songs Rattling Rose and Sail On, along with two remixes of Black Star Dancing. Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds will headline the Isle of Wight Festival on the same day.
