The Gorillaz bring the cool shoe shine to the Frank Erwin Center
Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s high-concept multimedia musical project the Gorillaz announced details for a full world tour this morning, and the trek includes a stop in Austin — October 22 at the Frank Erwin Center.
The “virtual band” is touring behind third album “Plastic Beach,” which was released in March. Having scuttled plans for a world tour featuring extremely expensive 3D technology a few years ago, the current live Gorillaz setup includes a large video screen with the band’s animated counterparts, and the band’s actual members on stage. The lineup will include vocalist, keyboard player and guitarist Albarn, as well as one-half of the Clash — both Mick Jones and Paul Simonon are currently playing with the band. Tickets go on sale Friday, August 13.
