Gorillaz is back!
Gorillaz is terug! Na jarenlange afwezigheid wat betreft een album komt er nu eindelijk een derde album aan genaamd “Plastic Beach”. Het album zal veel samenwerkingen bevatten met onder andere Mos Def en Snoop Dogg. De eerste single van de band heet “Stylo” en is nu te downloaden via iTunes. Plastic Beach wordt op 8 maart gereleased. Over Stylo twitterde Murdoc Niccals: “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!”
Je kunt Stylo hier beluisteren.
Verder zei Murdoc:
“Ahoy mateys! The new Gorillaz album is almost ready and it’s good. Really good. The best. B.E.S.T. A-Mazing. We’ll be taking it out for a spin later this year, when the Gorillaz wagon train will roll in to California to headline The Coachella Festival on Sunday 18 April.
This will be the greatest show on earth! Remember Harlem Apollo? Remember Manchester Opera House? No, me neither.
That’s why I strongly recommend a visit to Coachella. Good golfing there, too. Tickets go on sale this Friday, 10am PST / 4am GMT through Ticketmaster.com; pack sandwiches and form an orderly virtual queue. There will be fan ticket allocations via gorillaz.com, check back for further details.
In other news, I’ve developed a device called a ‘twitter’ which allows you to actually see the inside of my brain! Phenomenal. You can enter the wormhole here on twitter.
Our teeny tiny designer drones have been hard at work ahead of Phase 3, sprucing up the Niccals online empire. Check it out: gorillaz.com, youtube, myspace, bebo and facebook.
Also, listen to my first Point Nemo FM broadcast, available on gorillaz.com now, plenty more of these to come…
Over and out!

Naast de release van Plastic Beach zal de band weer sinds tijden een live performance neerzetten. Ditmaal zal zij op het Coachella Festival spelen. Waarschijnlijk kunnen we hierbij weer visuals verwachten zoals we die o.a. bij de Grammys hebben gezien, toen ze met Madonna speelden.
