Gorillaz have all the time embraced the spirit of collaboration, and through their present in Los Angeles on Friday evening (Sept. 23), Damon Albarn’s digital band had an entire lot of particular visitors available. As Rolling Stone stories, Beck, Tame Impala, Schoolboy Q, Thundercat, Del the Funky Homosapien, De La Soul and Bootie Brown all joined Gorillaz on the KIA Discussion board in Los Angeles.
Beck got here out to carry out “The Valley of the Pagans” from 2020’s Season One: Unusual Timez and returned for the world premiere of “Possession Island,” from Gorillaz’ star-studded upcoming album Cracker Island.
Schoolboy Q guested on the primary stay efficiency of “Pac Man” from Music Machine and Thundercat assisted on “Cracker Island.” As he usually does, The Pharcyde’s Bootie Brown helped out on a number of tracks, together with “Soiled Harry,” “Stylo,” and “New Gold,” the latter with an help from Tame Impala.
De La Soul got here out for the traditional “Really feel Good Inc.,” and Del the Funky Homosapien helped out through the encore on “Rock the Home” and “Clint Eastwood.”
Gorillaz are in the midst of their first North American tour since 2018. Cracker Island is slated for a Feb. 23, 2023 launch.
