Yeah he is, and he's good, too. The stuff is simple, but it drives the songs well. Good bass-heavy music.
There pretty cool, every song except Clint Eastwood, that song gets played every 10 minutes on the radio.
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)
Yeah. Murdoc is Tina from the Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club. did you guys here on how they spent like 30 grand to have an animated accpent (sp?) speach if they won an award at the VMAs? i would really like to see that
I'm trying to remember who the other people are in the group... I know that the singer is the singer from Blur, but after that, my mind is drawing a blank.
yeah 2-d is damon from blur, russel is del tha fukee homosapian hes in deletron 3000 and hes on his own(hes so great hes also does work wit kid kola) the guitarist noodel i think he some guy from japan but not sure at all and i could never figure out who murdoc was but now i know! yeah the animation really is great but yesterday i was at www.muchmusic.com and it said that gorillaz might be doing a song with D12....yes D12 the group with eminem in it, but its not confirmed.......i dont no if thats good or bad.....
murdoc isnt tina from talkheads, its jamie the same guy that does the animation.....go to joshs gorillaz fan site and go to reviews and it sayd that its jamie who is murdoc
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.
Wow, someone else's name is spelled the same way as mine... so thats Jamey Lewis (me) Jamey Auberswold, and Jamey somethingorother.
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.
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.
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.
