i think the band was a project like 'the archies' in sixties in america, it was set up when damon albarn of 'blur' was fed up with backbiting from the press in the uk and jamie hewlett didnt feel he was getting enough recognition as an artist
the media in the united kingdom is very jealous, and often they build people up just so they can pull them down, a lot of what they print is completely made up as uk courts are very slow and expensive - so the idea is that teh people in the band can have more autonomy over their own lives if they use characters as mouthpieces - but u can still see them at tours n stuff

The Gorillaz are not a real band. Jamie Hewlett, who's a comedian illustrator and author does all the paintings and video clips and Damon Albarn, until now of Blur, does the song.

Now you can.
It looks like the creators of the band, Damon Alburn and Jaime Hewlitt, have gotten tired of pretending to be cartoons. During a concert, the lead singer, Damon, sang a song for the encore.

You can.
I just saw a television concert of theirs a few weeks ago.
The puppets were there but so was the band.

It's only one guy and you can see him in one of their current music videos, I just forget which song though.
