Following their recent Californian set at Coachella festival, Gorillaz are to play live at Camden's Roundhouse today and tomorrow (29th & 30th April), and will be streaming exclusive highlights from the show live for your pleasure via their official website and facebook page!
The very special performance will feature the talents of many of the high profile guests that featured on Gorillaz recent 'Plastic Beach' album. According to Murdoc, "This time we'll be playing with a full deck: we've got Mos Def, The Hypnotic Brass, Shaun Ryder, Mark. E Smith...the works...Bobby Womack, Bashy & Kano, Little Dragon, The Syrian Orchestra...Gruff from the Super Furry Animals, Bootie Brown...De La Soul...Una Stubbs. This will be the concert to end them all!"
That definitely sounds worth tuning in for. You'll be able to watch live performancesof tracks from 'Plastic Beach' live at gorillaz.com and facebook.com/Gorillaz beginning at 9pm each evening.
Elsewhere, Damon Albarn told Spinnermusic.co.uk that he has enough material leftover from the 'Plastic Beach' sessions for not one but two sequels.
"I recorded an awful lot of music for this record, about 80 pieces of music in total, so theoretically there is a part two and part three of 'Plastic Beach' if we ever felt motivated to spend another few years finishing it...But because it's so eclectic, it takes a long time to actually get a picture because we don't start with a picture or an idea. We start with a very loose idea of 'Plastic Beach', which, you know, probably means something different to me than it does to Jamie [Hewlett], but we evolve."
In the meantime, check out Gorillaz performing single 'Stylo' with the help of Mos Def and Bobby Womack on 'Later Live... With Jools Holland'.
