Gorillaz

''"'Always be wary of people who use quotes.' I don't know who said that." ~ Murdoc Niccals.''

Gorillaz are a UK-based animated band, created by Damon Albarn (singer of the non-animated boy band Blur) and Jamie Hewlett (artist of the comic Tank Girl). The music, an alt-pop/alt-rock/hip-hop variety referred to by the creators as "zombie hip-hop", is created by Hewlett, Albarn, and their associates, and credited to the animated characters.

The band members are:
 * Murdoc Niccals, bassist and villainous mastermind behind the band.
 * Stuart Pot, better known as "Two Dents" or "2D", singer, keyboardist, and eyecandy.
 * Noodle, guitar prodigy, occasional backing vocalist, and only female band member.
 * Russel Hobbs, drummer and the only band member who would be semi-normal if not for the presence of ...
 * Del "tha Funkee Homosapien", a ghost who lives in Russel's head and occasionally comes out to rap.

The backstory of the band is elaborate and made up of pure Crackfic, which probably attracts just as many fans as the actual music.

Author-Wraiths in this continuum are blue with glowing eyes, similar in appearance to the canonical ghosts.

So far only one fic in this fandom has been sporked; Laburnum and Foxglove, during a very brief stint in Floaters, exorcised a bathos-riddled Bad Slash fic. They, Logan, and Kern also roped Murdoc into MSTing a bad Real Person Fic about Jamie and Damon, which can be found here (NSFW).
