No matter who your favorite band is or what kind of music you prefer, there are some characteristics all of those bands have in common: Usually they have 3-6 members (aside from the occasional duo) and while some of their music videos might have actors, the band can be seen in others as well as in press photos and interviews, right? Well that’s the case for most bands out there. However, there are exceptions, like Gorillaz for example, who are what their creators call a ‘virtual band’.

Originated in the late 90’s as a parody mocking the clichés of musical television and how easily certain musicians could be replaced, former roommates Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett had the idea of creating a band of four virtual cartoon style members being the ones in the spotlight in promo photos and animated music videos. That was the start of Gorillaz as we know them today.

Now you might be thinking that you have never heard of them before, but there are some classics in the band’s repertoire that you are definitely familiar with, “Clint Eastwood” for instance. Typical elements of their characteristic laid-back style inspired by hip hop, reggae, pop and alternative as well as one of the most catchy choruses we have ever heard make the song what it is: one of the best and most popular Gorillaz tracks that you definitely shouldn’t be missing out on.

So go ahead and check out “Clint Eastwood” below!
