Gorillaz is truly a postmodern band, comprised of 2D animated characters making an indelible mark on the music landscape. The creations of Damon Alburn, the singer-songwriter from Blur, and Jamie Hewlett, the co-creator of the cult-comic book series Tank Girl, these four animated musicians first appeared in 2000, years later fans are still waiting for Gorillaz tickets for the groups first world tour.

The group came out of Alburn and Hewlett's experience watching MTV one day, noting the substance-less videos in 1998. The result was a band to mock that very sentiment. Gorillaz became a project with a lead singer and a comic book artist as the only real members. The group's self titled debut album did exceedingly well, and the fans worldwide waited to see what the next step was that a fake band could take.

The next step would have been a few DVDs, but a conflict between funding and creatives left fans out in the cold until 2005 when the sophomore album finally hit the shelves. Gorillaz took the next step with Demon Days, again going platinum and winning a Grammy Award for the Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals for the song Feel Good Inc. The interesting part came when the band appeared "live at the 2006 Grammy's.
