Originally created by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett as a reaction to the cartoon-like, put-together, image-driven groups of the '90s, Gorillaz has since become not only a worldwide musical success but in many ways, a constantly evolving arts project. With ever-changing line ups, holographic gig attempts and a feature film, Gorillaz are now challenging our perceptions of what it means to be a band even further by recording an album solely on an iPad. What's more, they plan to do it before Christmas. On top of this, they're holding a character design competition, asking fans to design a new character named The Evangelist, a flipside character to The Boogieman. The winning submission will be chosen from 12 finalists, and will be redrawn by Hewlett to be included in future videos and potentially in live gigs. Given that Gorillaz will be touring here next month for the first time ever, is it possible Australian audiences will get a taste of their iPad work first? [Via The Creators Project]
