Recibí un mail de Gorillaz con el subject/asunto: We are 10: Clint Eastwood archive goodies for you this week!. Y es que Gorillaz está realizando la promoción de su disco Gorillaz - The Singles Collection 2001-2011 que sale a la venta el próximo 28 de Noviembre de 2011.
El contenido del correo electrónico era el siguiente:
Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to meeee...
As part of our birthday celebrations, we're taking a wander down the cultural cul de sac that is a decade of Gorillaz. We'll be sharing a few snapshots from an earlier time and to start with we've pulled out this plum from the archives: Gorillaz made massive, at the first all-live, all-animated performance of Clint Eastwood at the Brits, 2002. Check it out.
Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood (BRIT's Performance) (HD)
"Ah...Clint Eastwood Live at The Brits. What a breakthrough! What a performance! Actually...this really changed everything for us. Up until that point I was thinking...mmm....maybe this whole Gorillaz band wasn't really working out. Maybe I should jack in showbiz and go put together some kind of ...'virtual band' that I could get to go do shows and gigs for me. But then this happened, and everything really kicked off big style, so I stuck with my real band 'Gorillaz'. Superb! Let's have a look, eh, and see what really went on there! Mmmm....nice!" - Murdoc Nicalls, Gorillaz
Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood (Animatic) (HD)
And whilst we're on a Clint Eastwood tip we've also dragged out this animatic version of the original video, featuring a troupe of dancing apes.
This gem is worked up from Jamie Hewlett's original storyboards - look closely and you'll see the actual drops of sweat that fell from his furrowed artist brow...
If you're an instagram user you might want to follow 'gorillazofficial' - we've got a couple of goodies from the first album up there already and we're looking for more: gorillaz.com/weare10.
We're also adding digital detritus all the time to our virtual pinboard at gorillaz.com/weare10. If you've got a great Gorillaz memory you'd like to see up there, leave a comment on the page and we'll add the ones we like best.
