The hosts of the pop culture podcast,
JoJCast join me to discuss their choice for
A Perfect Pop Act. They pick the inventive, genre-busting band -
Gorillaz! If you listen to JoJCast's show you know this pick makes perfect sense. In each episode the hosts share their opinions on an incredibly diverse array of music (everything from hip hop to alt rock) film, TV, comics and more. Gorillaz is a group that seems to have been created for people like Jo and J; pop culture fans who crave consistent quality and continuos evolution from the bands they embrace.
Gorillaz is the brilliant collaboration of Damon Albarn (Blur) and Jamie Hewlett (Tank Girl). Gorillaz has sold millions of albums for over 15 years. Gorillaz is 2D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel. Gorillaz has attracted arguably the most talented group of collaborators in music history (everyone from Lou Reed to De La Soul to Bobby Womack to Snoop to so many more).
If you're a fan of the band you know all of these facts and this episode is an obvious must listen! But even if you're only familiar with a few of Gorillaz' singles like "Clint Eastwood" or "Feel Good Inc." you'll take pleasure in hearing two passionate and knowledgable music fans share the story of how this band is so much more than a band. And also how Gorillaz music and mythology has been a touchstone for them throughout their adult lives.
