(Gorillaz "Live" Performance at the MTV Europe Music Awards)

I know it’s been some time since I’ve posted, but bear with me. I’ll get something out soon.

Just a random 5 minute blog. The other night I caught a re-run of the MTV European music awards. The Gorillaz were the next to perform and I thought to myself, “Great, a cartoon video.” Hardly what I would call a performance.

They came out and rocked out to Feel Good Inc with De La Soul.

I was amazed at how it actually looked onstage. For those who didn’t know, the Gorillaz are the Britpop, virtual band, created by Damon Albern (of Blur) and Jaime Hewlett (creator of Tank Girl.) It brought back memories of when I was a kid and how infatuated I was with Cartoons and Muppets. Cool thing is that they’ll be doing a tour in 2007, in similar fashion.

Here’s a link to a video of the performance. You’ll need QuickTime to watch it.

Here’s another link to how they created the performance.
