Gorillaz is a virtual band founded in 1998 by Damon Albarn from Blur and comic-book artist Jamie Hewlett. The band, known for their unique concept and animated characters, has been recognized as the Most Successful Virtual Band in The Guinness Book of World Records. Originally named 'Gorilla', the band underwent some changes before settling on their current lineup.

The current lineup includes 2D (vocals performed by Damon Albarn), who serves as the lead singer and plays keyboards and additional instruments. Murdoc Niccals, the bassist, sold his soul and middle name to the devil for the band's success. Noodle, a Japanese expat, joined the band at a young age after being shipped to them in a crate at 8 years old. Russel Hobbs, an American expatriate possessed by ghosts of his late friends, is the drummer and creator of Hobbs Hot Sauce.

Over time, Gorillaz has had some former members including Del The Ghost Rapper (vocals performed by Del Tha Funkee Homosapien) who was sent to the afterlife following their first album.

Cyborg Noodle replaced the real Noodle on Plastic Beach as a robotic replica. In 2018, [a6760389

US Imports

from montreal to vancouver via seattle, texas and toronto, over 32 days on their north american tour this autumn, gorillaz recorded a musical diary. the result is a collection of 15 tracks, some with vocals, some without, some combined performances and some solo. like an electronically influenced hip-hop dream, 'the fall' progresses effortlessly to form a surprisingly cohesive work of art. recorded on tour, on an ipad, this low-key album (originally streamed for free on the band's website) is the sound of damon albarn blowing trees and tweaking apps as the american outback rolls by his bus window. featuring songs like 'shy-town' and 'seattle yodel,' it's a wistfully spaced-out, subtly cheeky spin on the road-trip epic: easy rider via tron. albarn isn't trying to say much, but 'the fall' is pretty consistent, from the country-radio sampling dub of 'the parish of space dust' to the rust belt planet-rock of 'detroit.' the capper is 'bobby in phoenix,' an interstellar-blues sermon from soul great bobby womack: delta guitars and sad, sweet blips and beeps demonstrate that ipads can have feelings too.
