Performing in 3D at the 2002 Brit Awards
Early on in Gorillaz’s history the band were a bit more secretive about the people behind the project and live performance took the shop of pre-recorded music playing while massive 3D holograms took centre stage.
The 2002 Brit Awards performance of this ilk was an almighty spectacle, with 2D’s empty eye sockets starting deep into the void and Murdoc’s cat-like tongue flickering out menacingly, and rappers Phi Life Cypher joining them on stage. As Dazed pointed out, this also likely marked the first occasion in which a musician (Albarn) was able to perform live on TV while watching from a seat in the crowd. Gorillaz are constant innovators.
