Bananaz - EMI Music Germany

This incledible film, "Bananaz" removes the secretive, mucky walls of Gorillaz, the cartoon band created by artist Jamie Hewlett & musician Damon Albarn, smashing down all artificial barriers to reveal the full and filthy details behind this awe-inspiring band.
Audiences see just what director Ceri Levy saw over seven years of mayhemical creative madness.. a lot of it too graphic for mortal eyes to behold...
Bananaz is Levy's story of the partnership and community behind Gorillaz. He takes you into the studio and out onto the road with this virtual phenomenon, showing a part of Gorillaz never seen before - reality. As one radio interviewer puts it, "It's a parallel universe - these guys aren't in the band but they know the animated characters who are". Bananaz is an honest, often hilarious account of the working relationship betwwn Albarn & Hewlett and the rise to success with Gorillaz - from the initial embryonic conception through to global domination. Also in focus are many of the conspirators and collaborators that came along for the ride, including Dennis Hopper, De la Soul, D12, Ibrahim Ferrer, Bootie Brown, Danger Mouse and more.
