BANANAZ by Ceri Levy


I just went to the In-Edit Beefeater music documentary event in Barcelona today and got blown away by the incredibly well done and funny documentary "Bananaz" from Ceri Levy about the making of the GORILLAZ.
So now, that I'm a bit wiser I can pass on some info here: The Gorillaz were made of Damon Alban (Blur) and Jamie Hewlett (Tank Girl), both obviously very funny individuals to be around with and basically taking a piss out of the music biz. Gorillaz were the first band ever made of 2D characters, although the actual band behind the project is really a good mix of known artits such as De La Soul or the ex-guitarrist from Bob Marley and Peter Tosh. The making of the movie took 6 (!) years and the movie maker Ceri Levy actually became from being the coffee-man the man behind the camera.
Hip Hop meets Rock and comic characters meet funny real life persons, trying to clash certain stereotypes in music and innovate constantly. There's not much more to say, apart from go to the movie and watch it yourself! It's worth it! And I'm not the best describing a whole story behind moving images, which one has to see...
