New At Tunes: Tragedy In 2-D |
Greetings,
Gorillaz are splitting up then. Hard to be
bothered about a band made out of paper. Group
member Remi says its the strain of doing live
gigs - a bit tough when you're a line drawing.
Happily there are solo projects in the
pipeline. Perhaps some work at the bottom of a
cat litter tray, or maybe wrapping up broken
glass or getting fires started? I wonder...

predecessors with an essential set of contemporary
