Hmm....I've not been sure about the latest Gorillaz stuff - it all seems a bit too studied and not as playful as previous stuff. And isn't it rubbish to see them in real life? They were better as a cartoon I reckon.

The new Gorillaz single - Doncamatic, will be released by Parlophone Records on November 22nd, 2010, as a 7” picture disc, CD single and digital bundle. The single will contain a radio edit and a remix by Nero.

Gorillaz are currently on tour in North America ahead of their European dates - a highlight so far being a massive show at Madison Square Garden in New York last Friday, with performances from Lou Reed and Mos Def.
