It’s too bad that there isn’t a DVD version of Gorillaz, with videos for every song, à la the DVD version of Super Furry Animals’ Rings Around the World. And initially, Gorillaz’ self-titled debut feels incomplete when Hewlett’s imagery is removed the concept of Gorillaz as a virtual band doesn’t hold up as well when you can’t see the virtual bandmembers.

The amazing “Thriller”-meets-Planet of the Apes clip for “Clint Eastwood” is so visually clever that it’s easy to take the song’s equally clever, hip-hop-tinged update of the Specials’ “Ghost Town” for granted. Admittedly, Hewlett’s edgy-cute characterizations of 2-D, Gorillaz’ pretty boy singer (who looks a cross between the Charlatans’ Tim Burgess and Sonic the Hedgehog), sinister bassist Murdoc, whiz-kid guitarist Noodle, and b-boy drummer Russel are so arresting that they almost detract from Gorillaz’ music. In 2010 Gorillaz made their fans happy: the long-awaited album Plastic Beach was finally issued.It’s tempting to judge Gorillaz – Damon Albarn, Tank Girl creator Jamie Hewlett, and Dan “The Automator” Nakamura’s virtual band – just by their brilliantly animated videos and write the project off as another triumph of style over substance.

Gorillaz are a British virtual band created in 1998 by musician Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett. Canonically speaking, Murdoc Niccals formed the band.

In 2017, after a five-year hiatus, Gorillaz announced their fifth studio album Humanz.Įverything began when Damon Albarn, the leader of britpop band Blur decided to realese some songs in mock hip-hop style, but not under his own name. His friend Jamie Hewlett, co-creator of the comic book Tank Girl, promised to help Albarn – that is how four pictured members of Gorillaz appeared. Later, when Albarn revealed that he was a creator of Gorillaz, he asked journalists if it was a good idea, but the ansewr was 'Only deaf didn't recognize Blur's singer characteristic voice yet'.

For example, band's drummer Russel Hobbs was a respectful child from the School for Young Achievers, but then a demon possessed him and he mauled several other students. Gorillaz's frontmen 2D is Albarn's compatriot and, apart of singing, he has an interest in machinery. Bassist Murdoc Niccals's bad temper is explained by the fact 'he was dumped on his father's doorstep in infancy'.
