Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett are the innovators and, dare I say it, geniuses behind the animated satirical anti-band Gorillaz. But while that is their best-known collaboration, with the band having two hugely successful albums, and worldwide fame, both are also famous for other things.
Albarn is of course the former lead singer of Blur, one […]
Whenever a band have a new album ready for release, and they’ve been away for a while, it’s almost a guarantee that one of the members will start mouthing off against some other band in an effort to get some free publicity, and their name back on the tips of everyone’s tongue.
