GORILLAZ AVAILABLE OVERSEAS
Not only is it available, but you can order it online. More inside.

 

Thanks goes out to Arsin who tracked down the availability of the Gorillaz 4-song EP currently for sale online and overseas. Interested in picking up a copy of the CD or vinyl, you can head over to www.hmv.co.uk and do a search for "Gorillaz". The tracklisting is as follows:

1. Tomorrow Comes Today
2. Rock The House
3. Latin Simone
4. 12D3

Del the funky homosapien is featured on 2 of the 4 songs.

Amazon.com also carries the Gorillaz EP, in CD format only (as of this writing) and lists an additional track as "Enhanced Video". This is more than likely the QuickTime video we reported on earlier for "Tomorrow Comes Today", but we can not be certain as we have yet to obtain a copy for our own use. No additional information is available as to whether or not there will be added enhanced content other than the video.

The next bit of news comes courtesy NYC Sewer Rat who chimed in with this link giving us a full, detailed description of the Gorillaz project. An excerpt reads: "Gorillaz are the brainchild of Murdoc, a snaggle-toothed Svengali from Stoke-On-Trent. He's a self-taught bassist with a mind like a rusty steel trap and a burning desire to create a chart-topping band. Influences: - Sabbath, Dub, J Andrew Anderson, Dennis Wilson. From day one Gorillaz' warped back-seat driver knew that good tunes weren't enough to succeed; he needed good looks and good equipment, neither of which he had. Murdoc met frontman 2D while ram-raiding the Organ Emporium where he worked."

The article goes on to list the talents of Miho Hatori, Jamie Hewlett, Del Tha Funky Homosapien, Tina Frantz, Damon Albarn, Ibrahim Ferrer and, of course, Dan The Automator in connection with the record.

You can visit www.gorillaz.com for additional info, as well as www.75ark.com which is the home to Dan The Automator's record label.

The Gorillaz EP was released overseas in the United Kingdom on November 27th, 2000 on Parlophone Records. No word yet as to when the record will be released domestically within the United States.
