When Jamie first met the band's lead singer Damon Albarn, the two did not hit it off well. Coxon knew of Hewlett's work drawing the Tank Girl comic strip in Deadline magazine. The roots of Gorillaz can be traced back to 1990, when guitarist Graham Coxon asked cartoonist Jamie Hewlett to interview his newly formed band, Blur.
In reality, Albarn is the only permanent musical contributor, and often collaborates with other musicians. Their fictional universe is explored through animated music videos, interviews, and animated shorts. The band currently consists of four animated members: 2-D (lead vocals, keyboards), Noodle (guitar, vocals), Murdoc Niccals (bass guitar), and Russel Hobbs (drums and percussion). Canonically speaking, Murdoc Niccals formed the band. Gorillaz is a British virtual band created in 1998 by musician Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett.
No, Gorillaz were always designed as a collective, featuring many contributors and producers, all shepherded by Albarn, the songwriter, mastermind, and ringleader.
This isn't quite similar to Blur, a genuine band that faltered after Graham Coxon decided he had enough, leaving Damon behind to construct the muddled Think Tank largely on his own.
Hewlett still provides new animation for Gorillaz - although the proposed feature-length film has long disappeared - but Dan the Automator is gone, leaving Albarn as the unquestioned leader of the group. 2018 Repress - Double Gatefold With Printed Cardboard Inner Sleeves - Hip Hop / Rap/ Rock / Downtempo Electronicaĭamon Albarn went to great pains to explain that the first Gorillaz album was a collaboration between him, cartoonist Jamie Hewlett, and producer Dan the Automator, but any sort of pretense to having the virtual pop group seem like a genuine collaborative band was thrown out the window for the group's long-awaited 2005 sequel, Demon Days.
