The non-Damon Albarn singer is Benjamin Clementine for anyone curious. He won the 2015 Mercury Prize for his first album.

I know it's been said before, but Damon Albarn is a f'ing genius. So, so good.

best band evar.
this is the original lineup (haha)
annie the bassist was kinda reclusive and quit before it got too mental
justine the singer was living with damon albarn which brought them a lot of shitty tabloid pressure
donna the blond guitarist was apparently a bit prone to moody bitchiness
justin the drummer was the coolest drummer at the time imo
they were about to drop their second album when it all went too wrong i think. it seemed like they went and toured australia for 2 years. the album eventually came out but the magic was gone.
they got a new bassist who was foxy but very young and a keyboard player who died of a heroin overdose and that was that.
but for a year they were the absolute shit, i nearly died of exhaustion after about 3 of their songs.

incidentally that show is The White Room which was about the only good music show on UK tv, apart from Jools Holland obviously.

I think Gorillaz are massively overrated.

I know they say Gorillaz say they actually perfrom behind stage the CGI. But still this is not real. I would rather have the illusion broken and seen Damon Albarn performing instead of some really sub-par CGI.
