Bananaz: Online World Premiere and DVD Release announced!
Bananaz, Ceri Levy's free-wheeling documentary film about Gorillaz, will receive its’ online global premiere on
Babelgum.com.
For four weeks from April 20th Bananaz will be available to stream, and alongside the film, babelgum.com (www.babelgum.com/gorillazgobananaz) are also launching a Gorillaz channel, featuring the Demon Days live concerts, videos, 2 new games, a Go Bananaz fans competition and exclusive Bananaz clips.
Bananaz gives a 91 minute look inside the remarkable real world of Gorillaz, ¬the most successful animated band ever. At the birth of the project, film maker Ceri Levy set about to document this undertaking. Levy filmed alongside and behind the scenes from 2000 to 2006, from first drawings, animations, music and the musicians, through to the faces behind the voices of Murdoc, 2D, Noodle and Russel Hobbs.
The result is a free-wheeling documentary film; an intimate, honest and often hilarious account of the working relationship between Albarn and Hewlett. With appearances by many of those who occasionally pass through this world ; Dennis Hopper, De la Soul, Ibrahim Ferrer, Dangermouse, Dan the Automator, D12, Bootie Brown and Neneh Cherry.
Bananaz is also set for theatrical and DVD release in June 2009.
The DVD will feature the 91 minute film as well as The Bananaz Home Movie Club – with to an hour of outtakes from the film. Rolls include - Clint Eastwood, Live in Japan, The Sneeze, Hello America, Bill Murray Featuring The Bees, and Food Chain amongst others.

THE GORILLAZ STORY IS NOW SOMETHING OF A LEGEND. The tale of a world-storming band born out of the sick mind of foul-smelling bass-player and ego-driven mastermind Murdoc Niccals. Undeniably, the four Gorillaz - Murdoc, singer 2D, drummer Russel Hobbs and the diminuitive Japanese guitarist Noodle - have changed the face of music and beyond, forever. An incredibly creative blend of music, animation, technology, wit and humour, Gorillaz re-invented the possibilities of entertainment with every release.
This approach has made Gorillaz a global phenomenon, having sold in excess of 15 million records worldwide to date. They've won awards from Grammys to Webbys to MTV awards and more, for practically every aspect of their operation.
By rattling the cages of the music industry so fiercely, the fearless nature of Gorillaz' experiments illuminated the way forward for all, pioneering techniques and redefining the cultural landscape along the way.
In 2001, Gorillaz burst out of every TV and radio with their seminal hit 'Clint Eastwood' and then unleashed a fantastic collision of dub, reggae, hip hop, punk and Cuban music, in the form of their debut album. They thrilled us and wowed us with their jaw-dropping visuals and wicked sense of adventure. They brought a fresh, original and vital voice, breathing new life into tired formats, and left a rich, colourful legacy in their wake to inspire a whole new generation of artists to come.
In 2005 with Demon Days, their second album, the fantastic foursome again blazed across our consciousness with a magnificent piece of work that somehow managed to surpass even the outstanding achievements made by their first record. Both musically and visually Gorillaz had reached further and deeper. The all-embracing attitude of Gorillaz provided a limitless canvass for a whole cast of talents, old and new, allowing each of them to express themselves in a unique, exciting way. Along with the album, another landslide of breathtaking videos, and some magical, moving live performances, Gorillaz gave the world something that had never been seen before - and an enchanting and invigorating sense that the impossible is perfectly possible.
By truly uniting an astounding array of influences under one roof, they've displayed exactly what can be achieved when intelligence, understanding and creativity come together for the greater good.
And hold on tight folks, because the journey's only just begun...

As Thanksgiving Day rolls around, It brings up some facts, quite profound. We may think that we're poor, Feel like bums, insecure, But in truth, our riches astound.
We have friends and family we love; We have guidance from heaven above. We have so much more Than they sell in a store, We're wealthy, when push comes to shove.
So add up your blessings, I say; Make Thanksgiving last more than a day. Enjoy what you've got; Realize it's a lot, And you'll make all your cares go away.
Hi , thanks a lot for the add and virtual friendship. I'll visit your space next time again and maybe post some comment. Best wishes from an Italian in cold, wet Germany
