Gorillaz are a virtual band created in 1999 by Damon Albarn of Britpop band Blur, and Jamie Hewlett, co-creator of the comic book Tank Girl. The band is composed of four fictional animated band members: 2D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel. Their style is broadly 'alternative', but with a large number of other influences.

The band's first album, 2001's Gorillaz, sold over 6 million copies and earned them an entry in the Guinness Book of Records as the Most Successful Virtual Band. Their second studio album, Demon Days, was released in 2005 and included the hit singles "Feel Good Inc.", "DARE", "Dirty Harry" and "Kids With Guns / El Mañana". Demon Days went double platinum in the United States, five times platinum in the UK, and earned five Grammy award nominations for 2006 and won one of them in the Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals category.
