Description | Content |
Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Gorillaz is a virtual Trip-Hop band created by Damon Albarn of the alternative band Blur and Tank Girl creator Jamie Hewlett, who are the only two constant contributors to the project. The band itself is made up of four fictional characters, 2D/ Stuart Pot (speaking voice Nelson de Freitas; singing voice Damon himself), Murdoc Niccals (Phil Cornwell), Russel Hobbs (Remi Kabaka) and Noodle (speaking voice Haruka Kuroda; singing voice on the first album by Miho Hatori and Tina Weymouth). The real people behind Gorillaz stay behind the scenes, and the characters appear to be the real band, acting in music videos and giving interviews. The virtual band was created as a commentary on MTV; on how there is often more of an emphasis on the musician than the music itself. So in creating a detailed fictional backstory and putting so much emphasis on the cartoons, they are proving their point. |
