Gorillaz

The Gorillaz is a virtual style band that was created in 1998. The two creators, Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett conjured up this animated band that would send the music industry into a whole new world. These characters that didn't even exist captured people's hearts all across the globe. Albarn and Hewlett wanted their characters to be a bit broken and demented, which I think they did just right. They wanted for them to look cool and each one have their own personality and characteristics.

Once these four misfits became famous, they were able to do hologram concerts for fans and eventually go on to perform at the Grammy's. 

When we watched the live version of Clint Eastwood in class, I felt so nostalgic. I used to love the Gorillaz when I was younger and that video just brought me back to loving them. The amount of work that went into creating 2D, Murdoc, Noodle, and Russell is amazing for two guys. Albarn and Hewlett made a new type of music and were very successful with it. The Gorillaz are on hiatus at the moment, but I believe a new album is coming out soon.
