ʻO Gorillaz kahi hui mele animated o ke kenekulia XNUMX, e like me The Archies, The Chipmunks a me Josie & The Pussycats.
ʻO ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o ka hui Gorillaz a me nā mea pena kiʻi ʻē aʻe o ka makahiki 1960 ʻo ia ka hui ʻo Gorillaz i hoʻokumu ʻia e nā mea hoʻokani pila i hoʻokumu ʻia, mahalo ʻia a me hoʻokahi kiʻi kiʻi kaulana, ʻo Jamie Hewlett (ka mea nāna i hana i ka Tank Girl comic), nāna i manaʻo i ke ʻano o nā kiʻi kiʻi.
Ua hoʻopūʻiwa kēia hui virtual i nā mea he nui i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i kahi album i kūʻai aku ma luna o 6 miliona mau kope ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa.
A lanakila pū nō hoʻi i ka MTV Europe Awards a paʻi i ka 40 kiʻekiʻe ma nā palapala kiʻi US. Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka hui ʻo Gorillaz i hip-hop, dub, reggae a me punk, ʻoiai ʻo ko lākou mau kūpuna i hana i nā mele pop.
Ua hoʻomohala ʻo Hewlett i ka manaʻo Gorillaz me Damon Albarn, ka mea mele o ka hui mele Pelekane kaulana ʻo Blur, ma 2000.
No kekahi manawa, pono lākou e noho ma ka hale hoʻokahi, a ʻo ia ka manawa i ʻike ai lākou he nui nā mea like. Me ke kānalua ʻole, ua hoʻoholo lākou e hoʻohui i kā lākou mau talena noʻeau a me ke mele e hana i kahi mea hoihoi.
ʻO kēia kahi i puka mai ai ka manaʻo o ka hui ʻana i nā lālā ʻehā o ka hui: 2D, Murdoc Niccals, Russel a me Noodle (Hewlett a me Albarn) i hoʻokumu ʻia i nā moʻolelo kikoʻī no kēlā me kēia. ʻO nā mea hoʻokani pila a pau i komo i loko o ka papahana i koi aku e ola maoli ka hui kiʻi kiʻi.
"ʻO mākou wale nō kā lākou kumu aʻoaʻo," i haʻi aku ai ka mea hana ʻo Gorillaz ʻo Dan Nakamura i ka mea kākau moʻolelo RES. "Loaʻa i nā Gorilla ko lākou ʻano ponoʻī a me nā ʻano.
Aia mākou ma laila e hōʻoia i ka holo maikaʻi ʻana o nā mea a pau a hāʻawi ke kiʻi a Jamie i kahi kiʻi nui o ko lākou ʻano. "
ʻO ka mea hou aku, he mea koʻikoʻi nā mea ʻike o ka hui Gorillaz i kā lākou hoʻopiʻi holoʻokoʻa. ʻO kā lākou pūnaewele a me nā wikiō wikiō e hōʻike ana i ke ʻano Hewlett-style Japanese animation i hana ʻia ma kāna Zombie Studio ma Lākana.
Ma kahi o ka hōʻike ʻana i ka poʻe kipa i ka ʻike maʻamau o ka hui, ua hoʻokomo ka pūnaewele kūhelu o ka hui iā lākou i loko o ke kaiapuni ʻo Gorillaz a hāʻawi i ka launa pū.
Ma kahi o ka hōʻike ʻana i ka poʻe kipa i ka ʻike maʻamau o ka hui, ua hoʻokomo ka pūnaewele kūhelu o ka hui iā lākou i loko o ke kaiapuni ʻo Gorillaz a hāʻawi i ka launa pū.
E like me kāna haʻi ʻana iā Steve Baltin ʻo Rolling Stone, "ʻAʻole nui ka nānā ʻana i ka mea kaulana. Aia ka poʻe e hana nei no Gorillaz no ka mea makemake lākou i ka manaʻo a me ka manaʻo o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ke kumu nui. "
ʻO wai ma hope o ka GORILLAZ?
ʻO lāua ʻo Damon Albarn lāua ʻo Jamie Hewlett i hoʻokumu i ka hui ma ʻApelila 1998. Ua ʻike mua ʻia lākou ma lalo o ka inoa ʻo Gorilla a ʻo ka mele mua a lākou i hoʻopaʻa ai ʻo Ghost Train (1999), ma hope i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma ka ʻaoʻao B i kā lākou Rock the House a me G-Sides.

ʻO Tomorrow Comes Today ka album mua o ka hui, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma 2000. Ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia ia ma ke kahua mele ma lalo o UK a ua hoʻolaha nui ʻia ka "huaʻōlelo" a me kahi pohihihi nui e pili ana i ka mea ma hope o kēia mau kāne.
Hāʻawi ka poʻe hoʻolaha i nā puke hoʻolaha no ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka moʻolelo moʻolelo moʻokalaleo o ka hui kiʻi.
Ma mua, ʻo kā lākou pūnaewele kūhelu he hōʻike maoli ʻo Kong Studios, ka hale hana moʻolelo a me ka home o ka hui. I loko, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ka lumi moe o kēlā me kēia lālā, ko lākou wahi hoʻopaʻa leo, a me nā alaloa a me nā lumi lumi.
Ua hōʻike pū ʻia kēlā me kēia lumi i nā mea kupanaha bonus a me nā pāʻani, e like me kahi mīkini remix i loko o ke keʻena, a me kahi hale ʻaina me ka papa hoʻolaha ma ka paia.
Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia lālā kā lākou kamepiula ponoʻī, aia nā kiʻi, nā laʻana i hoʻohana ʻia i nā mele Gorillaz like ʻole, kā lākou punaewele punahele, a me kā lākou pahu leta.
Ma muli o ke ʻano o ka pūnaewele, ua hoʻokumu ʻia kahi pūnaewele puni honua: fan.gorillaz.com e hoʻokipa i ka ʻike maʻamau e pili ana i ka pūnaewele o ka hui, me ka nūhou, discography, a me ka papa hana huakaʻi o ka hui. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻohe mea like i kēia manawa. I kēia manawa aia wale nō kā lākou mau ala nui, nā huakaʻi a me nā ʻike kumu.
PAKIKI, AKA KUWAIA!
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka mea hoʻokahi mua o ka hui, ʻo Clint Eastwood, ma Malaki 5, 2001. Ua lilo ia i mea paʻa maoli a hoʻokomo i ka Gorillaz i ke kukui. Ma muli o kēia, ua hoʻouna ʻia nā leka he nui i nā limahana o ka hui Hotmail fictitious, a laila ua hacked ka lawelawe. Ma ke ala, ʻaʻole i hōʻano hou ʻia nā pahu leta e hiki mai ana ma ka pūnaewele.
Ma hope o kēlā mahina, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kā lākou album piha piha piha ʻo Gorillaz, me ʻehā mau mele: Clint Eastwood, "19-2000", Tomorrow Comes Today and Rock the House.

Loaʻa i kēlā me kēia wikiō no ka poʻe ʻōpio nā moʻolelo hoʻomākeʻaka a me nā kiʻi. ʻO Clint Eastwood a me "19-2000" wale nō ka poʻe i komo i ke kahua mele ʻAmelika. Ua kaulana ʻo "19-2000" ma hope o ka hōʻike ʻia ʻana i kahi pāʻoihana Icebreakers a ma EA Sports 'FIFA 2001.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke lohe i nā mele mai Rock the House ma nā hōʻike MTV like ʻole.
ʻO ka hopena o 2001 i lawe mai i ke mele "911", kahi hui pū ʻana ma waena o Gorillaz a me nā mea hana rap D12 (minus Eminem) a me Terry Hall e pili ana i ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana o Kepakemapa 11, 2001. I kēia manawa, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo G-Sides, kahi hui o nā b-ʻaoʻao mai nā mele mua ʻekolu, i Iapana a ua ukali koke ʻia me nā hoʻokuʻu honua i ka makahiki 2002.
Ua hoʻomaka pū ka makahiki hou me nā hana hoʻokani ma ka 2002 BRIT Awards. Hōʻike ka hōʻike i ka animation 3D e hoʻolaha ana i nā lālā ma nā pale nui ʻehā me ka hoʻokani rap mai Phi Life Cypher.
A i Iune 2002, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album Laika Come Home, aia ka hapa nui o nā mele mai ka album Gorillaz, i hana hou ʻia e ka hui Spacemonkeyz. Loaʻa i ka Lil 'Dub Chefin' kahi mele Spacemonkeyz kumu i kapa ʻia ʻo Theme Spacemonkeyz.
ʻAʻole i hoʻokumu ʻia no nā makana
ʻOiai e hoʻopaʻapaʻa mau ana ka mana mele o nā kiʻi paʻi kiʻi Gorillaz, ʻaʻole hiki ke hōʻole ʻia ka hiki o nā mea hoʻokani mele maoli ma hope o lākou.
ʻO Albarn's of Blur he kiʻi pop Pelekane mai ka makahiki 1990. Me ke kālena o ia mau mea komo, ʻaʻole hiki i ka hoʻomaka o ka inoa like ke hoihoi. Loaʻa i ka maʻiʻo 15-track kahi ʻano māmā a me ka vibe hou e makemake ai ka poʻe clubgoers, nā papahana lekiō a me nā mea nānā MTV.
He akamai ka hui i ke kākau ʻana i nā mele hoʻokani a me nā mele maʻalahi a maikaʻi hoʻi e poina koke ʻia. ʻIke ʻia ka manaʻo o ka hip-hop, akā nui nā mele he mau mele dub-reggae ma waho o ka paia a me nā hopena reverb.
Me kona manaʻolana ʻole, uē, quasi-reggae rhythm a me ke kani kani kanikau, ʻo Clint Eastwood kekahi o nā mele i manaʻo ʻole ʻia o ka ʻumi makahiki.
Hīmeni ʻo Albarn, a paʻi ʻo Del. Kūlike lākou me kekahi i kekahi. ʻO Barry Walters, i ka wā i nīnauʻia ai e Rolling Stone magazine, i kekahi manawa i'ōlelo ai, "ʻO Gorillaz keʻano o ke mele kūikawā + hōʻike hoʻonani kupaianaha ... he'āpana pāʻani ia o keʻano pop art ma kona pono pono'ī."
Ua koho ʻia ʻo Gorillaz no ka Mercury Music Awards hanohano ma UK, akā ua hōʻole ʻo Hewlett lāua ʻo Albarn iā ia i loko o kahi snub media.

DVD OLE OLE
E like me kāu e manaʻo ai mai kahi hui e hilinaʻi nui ana i nā hopena ʻike, ua hoʻokuʻu ia i kahi DVD 2002-disc ma 2003 ma UK a me XNUMX ma US i kapa ʻia ʻo Phase One: Celebrity Take Down.
Me nā wikiō e like me Clint Eastwood, "19-2000", Tomorrow Comes Today, Rock the House and "5/4", Phase One i hāʻawi pū aku i nā hōʻike ʻike ola, nā nīnauele 2D, nā palapala palapala ʻo Charts of Darkness + bonus CD -ROM me nā pale pale a me ka nui. hou aku.
Ma ke kūkākūkā ʻana i ka Phase One ma Pitchfork Media, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Rob Mitchum, "Hoʻopiha ʻo Hewlett i ka DVD me nā ʻano mea hoihoi a me nā kikoʻī. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole maikaʻi kāna hopena: “ʻO ka ʻōlelo aʻu i makemake ai e haʻi aku me ka DVD, ʻo ia ka mea kupanaha, ʻo ka ʻāpana manaʻo o Gorillaz aia ma hope o ke mele; ʻoiai nā kikoʻī a pau, ʻaʻole nui ke ʻano o nā kiʻi."
Ua hoʻolālā pū ka Gorillaz e hana i kahi TV kūikawā, kahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni, a me kahi album ʻē aʻe; hiki ke hui pū me nā kaikamahine Powerpuff mai Cartoon Network. "ʻAʻohe o mākou hoʻolālā lōʻihi no Gorillaz. Aia lākou ma laila, ʻaʻole lākou e hele pū me mākou, "wahi a Albarn iā Hugh Porter.
