Written by British music journalist and longtime Oasis fan Paul Mathur, TAKE ME THERE is a comprehensive insider's history of one of Britain's most successful bands, in particular the pivotal figures of the Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam. (Noel writes the songs, Liam sings them.) Formed in Manchester in the early 1990s, the band's pursuit of rock-&-roll stardom as portrayed in Mathur's entertaining, snappily written book is exceptionally single-minded, with Noel acting as the driving, creative force behind their rise to fame. Convinced of their ultimate success, Oasis approach unattended gigs and general public indifference with the overweening confidence of youth. Finding in Alan McGee and Creation Records an individual and an organization that recognizes their potential, they begin their inexorable and often controversy-ridden climb to the top of the UK charts. Hit records and Beatles-style widespread adulation follow, as does distinctly un-Beatles-like behavior, including sibling fist fights and potentially career-damaging general mayhem. Mathur has been granted unprecedented access to Oasis throughout the years; his account of their colorful, headline-grabbing story provides ringside seats to all the action, including recording sessions, enlightening examinations of the brothers' often stormy personal relationships, and their sometimes bitter public feuds with other bands, including Blur.
