Gorillaz concert - I now feel musically fulfilled...

I saw Gorillaz last Thursday night and I will say without any doubt that it was the GREATEST concert of my life!! And I have seen a lot of concerts in my 24 years on this earth.

One of the main reasons why I feel so musically fulfilled is because I finally got to experience Damon Albarn singing live. I've been a long long long time fan of Blur (Damon was the lead singer) who were slightly a bit before my time and never got the pleasure of seeing them live. Damon is the co-creator of Gorillaz (see my previous post) so the thought of seeing him live was too good to miss. And i absolutely love Gorillaz so it was a win win situtation.

And boy did they put on a show!! From the 1st minute to the last minute they entertained like I've never seen before. Visually the show was amazing, constant video/stories of all the 4 'cartoon members' of the band on a huge screen. They performed songs from all 3 albums and the playlist was perfect.
There was so much going on on stage, guest performers, big bands with trumpets, violins - everything!! And then there was Damon....well he wasn't voted 4th greatest frontman of all time for nothing!! He was unbelievably mesmerising.

I will upload photos ASAP.

Gorillaz!

GORILLAZ

This morning I purchased tickets to see Gorillaz when they come down in December! I can't tell you how excited I am!! I'm a long long longtime fan of Blur and never got to see them live and probably never will. For all of you that don't know, Damon Albarn was the lead singer in Blur and is the co-creator of Gorillaz and does vocals, keyboard, guitar, bass guitar. Jamie Hewlett, the other co-creator is a British cartoonist who helped create the comic book, Tank Girl. He's the master behind the illustrations of the animated members in Gorillaz - 2D (lead vocalist, keyboard), Murdoch (bass guitar), Noodle (guitar and occasional vocals) and Russell Hobbs (drums and percussion).

They've released 3 albums - "Gorillaz" (2001), "Demon Days" (2005) and most recently "Plastic Beach" (2010)

I've heard that Gorillaz live shows are amazing!!! Can't wait till December!
