Gorillaz

Man, I really love these guys. Not just because they combined hip hop with electronica, two genres I’m not fussed by, and actually got good music out of it. I also love them because, despite there being 4 cartoon members in the band, there are only 2 people behind them, Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. These 2 have taken their anonymity to such an extent that they no longer even appear on stage for live performances, which obviously would be terrible if all bands did it, or if it was done badly, but the Gorillaz do it brilliantly.
No idea what I’m talking about?? Check out a performance of theirs here sorry, it has Madonna dressed as a skank after the Gorillaz perform, but you’ll live.
Their newest (2nd) album is really good, especially ‘Fire comin out of a monkey’s head’ but their first is much more uniquely Gorillaz. It has great tracks such as M1A1, Soundcheck (Gravity), Starshine, Rock the House and Clint Eastwood. It’s one of the best albums ever, and made the Gorillaz the worlds most successful virtual band.
Peace
