Gorillaz
|
Gorillaz is the mastermind of Dan Nakamura who played in such bands
as Handsome Boy Modeling School and Deltron 3030. The vocals of
Damon Albarn of Blur are splashed among the guitar of Cibo Mato¡¦s
Miho Hatori, the bass of Hewlett, and the bouncy rhymes of Del Tha
Funky Homosapian Russel, portrayed as a band of animated characters
courtesy of Jamie Hewlett (Tank Girl), a.k.a. Murdoc. Their first
hit, "Clint Eastwood" is catchy and likeable. However,
other songs like the dark "M1A1", the playful loopy "19/2000"
and the incredible "Slow Country" that melts reggae over
dub show the band¡¦s diversity.¡Xby Steve Taylor
