Why Gorillaz Should Be Science Fiction's Favorite Band
An interesting little round-up of the storyline and characters surrounding the release of the Gorillaz new album, “Plastic Beach”. A plot arc continues from some of the random bits and pieces seen in previous music videos and albums and continues from there.
Noodle, the band’s guitarist, is seemingly dead. She was last seenĀ falling through the skies in the “El Manana” video fromĀ Demon Days, and it’s since been discovered that she was kidnapped by demons and taken to Hell afterwards. The Noodle that’s around now is a not-exactly-fully-functional cyborg clone built by Murdoc, Gorillaz’ Keith Richards-gone-even-more-wrong bassist, as part-musical replacement and part-bodyguard.
