Goriilaz Return to Music

This post is not going to contain much about EDM but more so about how one of my favorite bands is getting back together and creating a festival for it. The Gorillaz's are known for their most famous song "Feel Good Inc." that was a huge hit back in 2005. Gorillaz left the music game in 2010 however, just as we thought there was no hope for a return they have announced themselves getting back together. They have not played a show since 2010 and they are announcing a festival called Demon Days that will be focused on them coming back to music. As a band that has been so influential to many people in the past years this a huge comeback to music for this
group. Musician Damon Albarn and comic book artist Jamie Hewlett met in 1990 when guitarist Graham Coxon, a fan of Hewlett's work, asked him to interview Blur, a band Albarn and Coxon had recently formed. Hewlett said, "If you watch MTV for too long, it's a bit like hell – there's nothing of substance there. This was a perfect quote from Hewitt who took the Idea and made the first original cartoon band.

Gorillaz, got its popularity by being the first cartoon band to win a multitude of awards ranging from a Grammy, to MTV music awards, to btiish music awards and so on. They went double platinum in the U.S. and 5 times platinum in Britain. It was the first time in history that a fictional cartoon band had ever won any awards (probably because there were not in existence before then). They revolutionized a genre of music and the way they music is presented in this day in age. I have yet to find a band that has come close to being as original as the Gorillaz and that's what makes them so unique.
