Gorillaz

Virtual band created by Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett in 1998. Presented as a cartoon band with four animated members, Gorillaz became one of the most innovative acts of the 2000s by blending alternative rock, hip-hop, electronica, and pop across a series of genre-defying albums. Debut album and Demon Days are the definitive records. Albarn plays keyboards, melodica, and guitar in live performances behind an animated projection screen.
