Hot on the heels of the recent
first announcement comes news
of further acts added to the Melbourne and Sydney legs of the maiden
Global Gathering Festival.
Joining the first round of announcements, including Mark Ronson, Kraftwerk, Fischerspooner and The Orb, will be:
Gorillaz Sound System
Dirty South
The Potbelleez
ATB
Kazu Kimura
What is this "Gorillaz Sound System" we speak of? Damon Albarn has clearly stated that Gorillaz are a finished pop entity, superseded just recently by his latest incarnation as Monkey. Wikipedia states that: "The phenomenal Gorillaz Sound System is the world’s premier
audio-visual party experience! The eye-popping 360-degree Gorillaz
visuals delivered from 20 old school projectors accompany 4 DJs in
Gorillaz Sound System gear that will be delivering the biggest roof
raising tracks with a one-of-a-kind spectacular."
The kind of "roof raising" tracks glimpsed here perhaps:
Gorillaz Sound System - 'Mix 1'
