David & Gorillaz


Vry clever promo @ emi tw website for Gorillaz new album, Demon Days. The animated characters wanted to apply for the person David is looking for his concert. Russel said he looked like the US drummer in Black Tangerine & Murdoc wanted to be the demon in Ghost mv. David said they r extremely talented but their chinese sound too brit & made him laugh. Gorillaz is a virtual band created by Blur's Damon Albarn along with Tank Girl creator Jamie Hewlett, made up of Noodle (guitar), 2-D (vocals), Murdock (bass) and Russell (drums).

Of cos there is lotsa talent behind this virtual band but they r promoted as if they r real even have press interviews & tours. They have a fantastic sound altho a bit dark & really like their new single, Feel Good Inc. The song is a bit like Ghost where 3 of the Gorillaz r trapped in this place called Feel Good Inc & they r supposed to feel good but not 2-D who longed to escape to the floating windmill where Noodle is. Of cos my fav mbr is sweetie Noodle.

Sum critic said their music & mvs takes you to another world, a fantasy one but actually if u listened & watched carefully their songs r actually grounded in reality & they have a strong sense of melody. I feel so happy they r associated with David. Its so coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool heehee
