The Gorillaz Camaro is at full speed, with the album set to drop in less than a week here in magic America. It's a special treat for us Gorillaz fans in the US, be it pasty British ex-pats like myself, or actual brilliant Americans. We were painfully shunned by Blur last year. This year we get our Damon Albarn fueled comeuppance; we get to see Murdoc, "Noodle", 2D (and Russel?) FIRST! Yeah, firsties. Suck it Europe and Japan.
In an interview with The Independent Murdoc Niccals; erstwhile metalhead, Gorillaz leader, and badass bass player, hints at the mind-blowing Californian show to come...
Actually it's funny because I was just thinking about this big concert I'm planning and all the espionage going on around it.
I'm not really prone to excitement, due to all the medication and everything, but this is really something! Something unbelievable. Something that we may even tour until we're skeletons...
We're doing Coachella, this fantastic festival in Palm Springs, near Los Angeles. Great golfing round there. It's like a big hot car park in the middle of the desert. And we've drafted in a whole slurry of big-name guest-stars, so check check check it out. 19 April. 2010. We're going to raze it to the ground.
(FYI, Gorillaz actually play April 18th.)

Hey! I'm going to see them in Portsmouth on march the 21st!!!! I had to share this with you! ;)
It is sooo unexpected, I'll realize when I'll jump in the eurostar I guess.. :)
brilliant! yeah the warmup shows seem like they might be even cooler than Coachella, you'll get to be close up! So much for America being first!
Well.. they want to be perfect for the Coachella show, that's why ;)
I hope I'll be able to take some nice pics and videos!(I pray they won't forbid cameras because that's a rehearsal..)
