the Discovery

The incident that led to Oasis being signed to Creation Records quickly passed into rock mythology. In May 1993, they drove to Glasgow with fellow denizens of the Boardwalk rehearsal studios, Sister Lovers, to support 18 Wheeler at King Tut's Wah Wah Club. Strong-arming their way onto the bill (in other words they werent supposed to play, but forced their way on stage essentially saying "We're going to play or we're tearing to destroy this bar"), they played five songs (only) early in the evening, but these were enough to hypnotize Creation boss Alan McGee who offered them a recording contract there and then.
