Gorillaz at Roundhouse on MTV

Did anyone see it last night on MTV? Looked and sounded amazing.

What a huge line-up they've got. 2 drummers, 3 keyboards, 3 guitars, 6 piece string section, 8 piece brass section, 4 backing vocals plus a boat load of guest vocalists.

If they repeat it you must check it out, especially if you're unsure whether to see them or not at Glasto

I am Deffo going to watch this tonight , repeated on MTV at 11pm sat. I thought Demon Days was class, but having heard Plastic Beach, i'm not to sure now, i am not a big rap fan, and for me there is to much of it on the new album. If they play more of Demon days, i'll be happy. Tonights showing might sway it for me. Other than that i'll be off to the JP to watch Groove Armada, who's new album " Black Light". i love.

I caught most of the Roundhouse show last night.

Did anyone else notice that Micks guitar seemed to be very low down in the mix, if not turned off at all.

Most of the time, his strum pattern and chord changes seemed to be completely detatched from the song itself and the 'lead' guitarist, seemed to be doing all the main guitar parts. Couldn't distinguish Micks part at all, he was just dancing around by the looks of things :lol:

Just thought it was strange.

Well watched this the other day, as have been waivering about the Gorillaz as really like some songs, but not massively convinced on the album.

Although I liked the gig, it didn't blow me away. Would have caught them on Saturday or possibly if they weren't headlining, but looks like I'm probably going to go elsewhere.

Although saying that three tracks have grown on me now, which I wasn't too keen on before

Welcome to Plastic Beach

Empire Ants

Sweepstakes

Infact Sweepstakes impressed so much that I'm going to blast through the Mos Def back catalouge as the only album I listened to was, last years (can't remember the name) and didn't massively get into it.

I'm a big Gorillaz fan, but I don't think that gig was so special. I think their new material doesn't work so well live compared to the likes of Clint Eastwood, Dare, Dirty Harry, Rock The House etc. which are crowd pleasers. Come to think of it, the only songs i'm looking forward to off the new album are On Melancholy Hill, Stylo and Superfast Jellyfish...

Having said that, the amount of guest stars onstage with them was amazing, would be great to get Bobby Womack and De La Soul at Glasto!

It was on-line at mtv.co.uk not long after the gig but seems to be missing (or I can't find it now) since they broadcast it on TV.

MTV and all other music TV seem to show repeats all the time. I bet it'll not be long before it comes along again. They have a listings page on their website.

Failing that I'm sure You Tube will have some of it.

It's worth hunting down though.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
