DMA‘S were asked for their thoughts about Oasis reunion replying that they should “play some gigs” together.
Australian trio DMA’S have weighed in on the long-running Oasis reunion saga—and praised Liam Gallagher’s massive Knebworth solo shows.
During a Radio X interview with Dan O’Connell, frontman Tommy O’Dell said: “Well I have no idea what they’re gonna do, but they should definitely play some gigs for sure.”
Still, he admitted no one can really predict what Liam and Noel might do next. “Who knows? Who knows if they’ll do it?”
Guitarist Johnny Took shared his experience at Liam Gallagher’s solo show: “I went to Knebworth and Liam killed it. It was amazing.”
Took added, “It’s not Noel up there as well, but kudos to him. He put on an amazing show.”
He recalled the spectacle: “Oh man, it was just unreal. I’ve never seen anything like it and I thought that was super cool.”
The band share a connection with the Gallagher brothers—especially Liam. In 2021, lead guitarist Matt Mason told the Daily Star: “Liam is a fan, so it’s good to have his seal of approval.”
He added: “To get these Oasis comparisons and for him to like us is great. It makes you feel less of a d*** when the Godfathers approve.”
Their relationship extended beyond mutual respect. In 2019, the DMA’S hung out with Liam and his son Gene at a pub.
Took recalled: “It was awesome. You could meet someone like that, and there’s a good chance they could be a tosspot, but he was cool as.”
“He just loves music. We watched the Manchester Derby and talked music. It was just a great experience.”
While the world waits for Oasis to reform, DMA’S continue their own journey. Today (March 31), they released their fourth album, How Many Dreams?
Took described it as a “modern rock record” despite its electronic influences. “Even though we’ve added dancey elements, it’s still a modern rock record.”
He credited a Dutch festival for his love of dance music: “We played Lowlands, and 40,000 people were listening to Underworld. It just clicked.”
O’Dell, a drummer by origin, said his early musical experience came from electronic festivals.
“That’s how the DMA’S work,” he said. “It’s all our influences mixed together. I guess that’s what created our sound.”
