    Yeah he is, and he's good, too. The stuff is simple, but it drives the songs well. Good bass-heavy music.

    Murdoc is Actually Tina Wheymoth (SP?) Which would explain the cool bass.

    And I think it's Jamey somethingorother that does all the cartoons. He does the Tank Girl comics as well.

    Yeah Murdoc is cool, the drummer is better though, not in musical sense but in not musical sense (better cartoon characterness)

    I don't think Tina played bass with the Gorillaz, check out this interview with Chriz Franz:

    http://www.efestivals.co.uk/estage/0103b/gorillaz.shtml

    Here's an excerpt..

    --What exactly was your involvement?
    Tina did some of her Tom Tom Club style harmonies and I played some nutty
    bongos (is there any other kind?).
    --Did you enjoy your involvement?
    Absolutely!
    --Did you get to work face to face with the other musicians involved?
    No, Dan and Damon were in a studio somewhere in Jamaica and sent us a DAT to
    work from. We did our parts at our own studio, The Clubhouse, in Cock Island,
    Connecticut, USA.
     
  15. Wow, someone else's name is spelled the same way as mine...

    so thats Jamey Lewis (me) Jamey Auberswold, and Jamey somethingorother.
     
  16. Its actually spelled JamIE.

    his name is Jamie Hewlett.
     
  17. He could be, I could be, MANY PEOPLE COULD BE, does anyone care that the basslines in The Grorillaz music is all probably computer generated and the charactors are fictional, or do I not sense the sarcasm in this thread.
     
  18. I've been reading up on the Gorillaz, and I love the concept.

    I would kill to see one of their live shows..

    the basslines are not computer generated, and the point of the band, and what makes the concept cool, is that the band is made up of fictional characters with an actual background and actual events happen in their fictional life.
     
  20. Yes, the character Murdoc is a satanist.

    I like the concept of a 'cartoon band'. Many bands have made concept albums, but the Gorillaz took it a step further.
