Experience Gorillaz.com with Internet Explorer 9 Beta

Murdoc's Club Room

Gorillaz.com

Gorillaz.com is the online home of the world's greatest animated band. Created by Damon Albarn (Blur) and Jamie Hewlett (Tank Girl) in 2000, Gorillaz are fronted by four wildly talented but totally disparate characters: singer 2D, bassist Murdoc Niccals, Japanese guitar prodigy Noodle and drummer Russel Hobbs; and have since gained a reputation for consistently and creatively pushing the boundaries of technology and innovation. Gorillaz.com is the ultimate destination for Gorillaz music, video and artwork, presented within a framework of storylines, characters, games, events and information, all wrapped around a central exploratory story system – a unique combination of music, film, artwork, gaming and community play. Fans are invited to join Sub-Division – Gorillaz' official fanclub to access exclusive content, news and events plus receive limited edition Gorillaz products. Gorillaz embark on their 'Escape to Plastic Beach' World Tour in October and their new album 'Plastic Beach' is out now. Tickets and music all available through Gorillaz.com

Gorillaz.com and IE9

Gorillaz.com has been optimised for Internet Explorer 9 to take advantage of some great new integration features with Windows 7. Fans can now drag the Gorillaz favicon to their taskbar and access it like an app. Right-clicking on the Gorillaz icon in the taskbar provides access to site features including News, the G Player and the Gorillaz adventure game. Gorillaz fans can even personalise this list by clicking the star to save any page. Powered by HTML5, Murdoc's Club Room is turned into an interactive space. He'll talk you through it as you zoom up to the gallery wall and listen to tracks, bring up the Story So Far book off his coffee table with stunning pictures, html5 video and audio, and have a nosey look through the contents of his laptop. Click on the video to play an HTML5 video!

  • What's new in Internet Explorer 9?
  • Gorillaz Windows 7 Theme Pack
    Get Murdoc on your PC now! If you already have IE9 installed head over to Murdoc's laptop now to download a free and exclusive Gorillaz themepack for your PC, with Gorillaz wallpapers and sounds. If you don’t have IE9 installed, you’ll need to go here to download first.
    System requirements: Windows 7 OS

aimeesmum Sorry to see the Wallingford CT Oakfield Theatre gig has also been cancelled, and at such short notice too. Makes you wonder who's next?! Seems the USA gigs are not immune to "Gorillazcancelledgigitis" after all! You join the spurned Glasgow, Newcastle & Milan fans, some of whom did warn everyone, everywhere, that being in receipt of tickets guarantees nothing. I notice though, the site didn't provide a comments button for those let down by this latest cancellation to voice their dismay under this announcement, as is available on all other pages. Perhaps fed up hearing legitimate complaints from disgruntled fans?? Still, at least you got an "explanation & apology"....cold comfort I'm sure...it took two weeks for us to get either after the July cancellations!!! On a plus note, I have now received both my refund and the litho.
