Murdoc IS fake... he's a fictional character.
However, the lines are not synths.

the drummer's technique looks odd too.
does the giant moose they try to blow up in one of their videos play any instruments? |

But anyways,
I think that the Gorillaz are great, imo Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett created something really cool when they thought up this concept. Especially since they redesigned the characters for Demon Days, so that they grow along with their new found fame 
I read an interview with the two of them done by Neil Gaiman (author of the Sandman comics amongs others) for Wired magazine. In this Gaiman states that he thinks that Gorillaz, who are an artificial band, are actually more real then all the made up bands/artists we see on TV. And I fully agree. How are the Gorillaz less fake, then for example, Britney Spears, or any brought together boy/girl band? The Gorillaz are, like Britney Spears, are only the face that delivers someone elses music.
For those of you that are interested: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.07/gorillaz.html

If any one cares, this place has a run down of the various people envolved in the Gorillaz project : http://gorillaz-unofficial.com/biography/realpeople.htm
Vocaly, it's wierd, It's not as cut and dried as one person voicing one character. Noodle has been voiced by two different people one on each record, and each character is voiced by a voice actor for "interviews", except Noodle, well sort of... The girl who did Noodle's spoken voice sang her parts live at the shows in support of the first album. She was then used to sing Noodles parts on the second album, so she is knida' played by the same person, whell atleast 2/3rds of the time any way.
Oh, by the way, I love Gorillaz

haha! I knew it!
BBC6music had a 6mix "hijack" with Murdoc dj'ing, and I was sure that it was Phil Cornwell-
Murdoc's voice is the same one Cornwell uses for a dj character in Stella Street. |

I read an interview where Damon said the logistics of getting everyone together for a live show is a nightmare hence 5 dates in one central location in the UK! I suspect the show will be a mass AV feast, should be good!
