Gorillaz Rise Of The Ogre TP
Description
Written by
"In 2001 the animated band Gorillaz--bass-slayer mastermind Murdoc Niccals, hip-hop hardman drummer Russel Hobbs, Japanese girl-guitarist Noodle, and spiky, blue-haired singer 2D--hit the planet like a musical meteor with their first smash, ""Clint Eastwood."" Nurtured by Blur's musical tyrant Damon Albarn, for Gorillaz the awards have come thick and fast--Grammys, Webbys, MTV Awards--and, along with their second album DEMON DAYS, they've sold more than 15 million records to date. Their groundbreaking attitude has seen the fantastic foursome take a staggering array of influences--musical, visual, and otherwise--and rework them into a unique world of their own design. No other group has managed to encapsulate the creative spirit of the digital age as Gorillaz. Their astonishing success is even more surprising when you consider this has all been achieved against a backdrop of demonic possession, underworld dealings, amnesia, exorcisms, prison terms, and jaw-dropping stupidity.
Now, in RISE OF THE OGRE Gorillaz has for the first time put mouth to paper and agreed to talk us through the unique thinking behind Gorillaz, revealing the complete story of this incredible band from childhood, to Gorillaz inception, through to albums, commercials, tours, videos, influences, breakdowns, breakups, and beyond."
