Gorillaz Video: “Journey to Plastic Beach”

PLASTIC BEACH OUT NOW

Fresh off their triumphant headlining slot at Glastonbury,
which featured half of The Clash (Mick Jones and
Paul Simonon) as part of the backing band and guest appearances by Snoop Dogg (check out the band
performing “Clint Eastwood”
with Snoop Dogg below), Lou Reed, Shaun Ryder, Mark E. Smith, Kano, De La Soul, and Bobby Womack, Gorillaz have unleashed a
short film which includes both Plastic Beach videos “Stylo” and “Melancholy Hill.” Narrated by fictional
Gorillaz leader
Murdoc, the film is a nifty way to kill 15 minutes and forty four seconds. Check it out below, and click here for the Gorillaz Hulu channel featuring videos, live
performances, and documentaries.

“Journey to Plastic Beach”

“Clint Eastwood” feat. Snoop Dogg Live at Glastonbury 2010

Gorillaz Replace U2 at Glastonbury

CARTOON FREAKS INVADE THE MUDDY FIELDS!

In the wake of Bono’s back injury and subsequent Glastonbury cancellation and tour postponement, the organizers at Glastonbury have secured Gorillaz to fill the empty headlining slot. Mos Def and Snoop Dogg, two collaborators from the Gorillaz’s latest album, Plastic Beach, were already scheduled to play the festival, so attendees should likely expect them to pop up in this big stage set.

The pop star, known for her unconventional dress sense, saw her single ‘Telephone’ climb to top spot in the singles” pile. Meanwhile, her album ‘The Fame’ went back to the top of the album chart.

Gorillaz “Stylo” Music VIDEO, Featuring Bruce Willis

Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett are back with more of their animated band, Gorillaz. The group has released the video for their newest single, “Stylo” — featuring a guest appearance from actor Bruce Willis. “Stylo” is the first track from the Gorillaz’s forthcoming album Plastic Beach, out March 8.

Gorillaz Return With Plastic Beach

GORILLAZ SET TO RELEASE PLASTIC BEACH MARCH 9

Gorillaz

Five years on from the release of Demon Days, Murdoc Niccals and Co. return with Plastic Beach. The band have taken up residence, recording on a secret floating island deep in the South Pacific, a Plastic Beach HQ, made up of the detritus, debris and washed up remnants of humanity. This Plastic Beach is the furthest point from any landmass on Earth; the most deserted spot on the planet.

The album is preceded by first single “Stylo” (featuring Bobby Womack and Mos Def) which received its radio broadcast premiere Wednesday and will be available for download on January 26.

Confirming “Stylo,” Murdoc Niccals twittered, “A leak! A leak! Plastic Beach has sprung a leak! One of those Russian pirates has put a bullet hole in my island! My single’s leaked! STYLO!”

The Gorillaz’ return will be marked by a headline appearance at this year’s Coachella festival. The Sunday April 18 performance will be the first Gorillaz live spectacle on U.S. soil since the awe-inspiring Demon Days Live run in April 2006 at New York’s Apollo Theater.
