Murdoc Speaks Out On Damon, Demos
The Official Gorillaz Fansite, January 2009
As anticipated, there seems to be a bit of a stir about why exactly The Good, The Blur & The Queen frontman Damon Albarn is waltzing into Radio 1 with some of the new Gorillaz demos later on today, and when we asked Gorillaz bassist Murdoc Niccals what was going on, he had this to say:
"Let's try and clear this up. As far as I can work out, I, Murdoc Niccals, the Gorillaz musical auteur, have been requested by the BBC to take over Zane Lowe's radio show this Wednesday between 7-9pm. Sounds simple. They want 'the guy who wrote all those Gorillaz tunes.'
"But now apparently 'Damon Albarn,' is hosting this farce and he's going to be playing some of the new Gorillaz demos, and 'would I like to maybe put in an appearance, say hello, kind of thing.'
"Surely, some kind of admin mistake. So yeah, folks, I'll put in an appearance this Wednesday, for sure. Let's find out who's hosting who, exactly."
