Gorillaz, everyone's favorite animated band, took the stage at the Patriot Center in Fairfax on Monday night, October 11th. This was the band's first show in the D.C. area ever and it was a huge success.
The show was part of The Escape to Plastic Beach World Tour, named after the band's March 2010 album "Plastic Beach." Songs from all three albums were performed, the crowd favorites were "Dirty Harry," "19-2000," "Superfast Jellyfish," and "Feel-Good Inc."
In addition to a diverse setlist, many special guests collaborated on various songs throughout the show. Mos Def, Bobby Womack, De La Soul, the Syrian National Orchestra for Oriental Arab Music, and Little Drangon were just a few of the collaborators.
Frontman Damon Albarn, originally of Blur, engaged the crowd with his highly energetic stage presence and his intense musical talent. Over the course of the show he performed backing vocals, lead vocals, church bells, guitar, piano, and the melodica.
The band is just starting their world tour after a summer of touring festivals like the UK's Glastonbury, the USA's Coachella, and Denmark's Roskilde Festival. The tour is sweeping North America for the rest of October, Europe in November, and Australia in December.
