It’s time for someone to bring The Swagga back to this Plastic Beach we call San Diego. No we’re not talking about Big Boi, Warren G or even the one and only Clint Eastwood. But trust us when we say they are definitely going to Rock the House and make you Feel Good.
Gorillaz’s Plastic Beach Tour is heading to San Diego on Thursday, October 28th! Don’t miss your chance to see Gorillaz perform live with N.E.R.D at Viejas Arena at San Diego State University next Thursday, October 28th! Visit ticketmaster.com now for more details.
It’s safe to say that Gorillaz is the most successful virtual band in the entire world. Gorillaz is fronted by four totally disparate animated characters: pretty-but-vacant singer 2D, satanic bassist Murdoc Niccals, Japanese guitar prodigy Noodle and amiable man-mountain drummer Russel Hobbs. Their self-titled debut album was released to wide acclaim in 2000 and has been making waves in the music world ever since. Gorillaz introduced the world to the animated four-piece, with lead-off single Clint Eastwood scoring a massive hit worldwide, and the band's astonishingly inventive promos becoming a fixture on music television everywhere. After their debut hit single, Gorillaz began pouring out a myriad of Britpop tracks infused with a pinch of hip-hop and a dollop of dub which have included everything from Dare and Feel Good Inc. to Kids with Guns and Dirty Harry.
And if you didn’t think the world-famous digitally created four-man band was enough to float your boat, they’re bringing along N.E.R.D. for a very special guest performance. Short for 'No-one Ever Really Dies', N.E.R.D. is an American rock, metal and hip hop band headed by Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo who had been signed to Virgin Records as a duo, The Neptunes. After producing songs for several artists throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, the production duo formed the band with Shay Haley as a side project of The Neptunes in 2001.
