DOWNLOAD :: Gorillaz – “Empire Ants” [Miami Horror REMIX]

January 18, 2011

While “Empire Ants” wasn’t THE standout single from the Gorillaz latest LP Plastic Beach, Miami Horror‘s remix of the track certainly adds to its appeal. Where the original track settled in to a relaxed beat and then picked up pace with Little Dragon‘s vocals, the remix hits a bit heavier and transforms the track into an all-out dance number.

LISTEN :: Gorillaz – “On Melancholy Hill” [Josh Wink Remix] from the Gorillaz Scavenger Hunt

December 13, 2010

Last week, Gorillaz set up a Scavenger Hunt in which you needed to hunt down a certain 12 images of the band that were scattered around the interwebs. Within hours of the game being announced, the locations of the images were being posted in random forums and websites. The prize was a special remix created for the Scavenger Hunt and an entry in a contest to win a Gorillaz surfboard.

In case you don’t have the time or energy to scour the web for all 12 images, take a listen to Josh Wink‘s remix of “On Melancholy Hill”, which was the special remix we mentioned earlier.

WATCH :: Gorillaz – “Welcome To The World Of The Plastic Beach” [ft. Snoop Dogg] + “Hong Kong”

December 7, 2010

Remember turning on Plastic Beach for the first time and being drifted away to Gorillaz imaginary island starting with the openeing track “Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach”? If so, you will be happy to know that Gorillaz + Snoop Dogg have released a video for the track as part of Damon Albarn & Co’s advent calendar.

The Gorillaz advent calendar has been a fun way for the Damon Albarn vehicle to give back to the vocal and passionate fans that have helped them become one of the largest touring acts in the world. Every day, a new present arrives, like Kanye West but on a different time-frame. Well this morning, anyone who opens the little door will treated to something cooler than a candy bar. [via]

Also, while performing in Hong Kong, Gorillaz pulled out the tune named after that city, which was orginally rleeased in 2005 as part of the War Child compilation Help: A Day In The Life. Check out the band performing “Hong Kong” below ..

LISTEN :: Gorillaz – “Doncamatic (All Played Out)” [ft. Daley]

October 5, 2010

While I am a tad bummed that I will not be in attendance at any of Gorillaz US tour dates, I am quite excited to know that they are recoding tracks amidst their travels. “Doncamatic (All Played Out)” is one of these “travel” tracks and it was premiered on Zane Lowe’s program over at BBC earlier today. Give it a listen in preparation for its official release on November 22nd.

Want more Gorillaz news?! Well check out this lovely tidbit of information thanks to OneThirtyBPM:

the band will be webcasting a full-length concert of theirs on Thursday. Following their scheduled appearance on Letterman, the band will stay in the studio to perform the show to be broadcast on CBS.com through the Live on Letterman concert webcast series.

BONER ALERT :: MICK JONES & PAUL SIMONEN TO PLAY WITH GORILLAZ

April 15, 2010

CONFIRMED: Damon Albarn does whatever he wants.  First, he gets Snoop Dog and Lou Reed to appear on the same record, then Bruce Willis squints it up in the “Stylo” video, and now this: The Clash’s Mick Jones & Paul Simonen are confirmed to join Gorillaz on stage as they headline the third and final night of Coachella.  I can’t.
