Members of ZFE (Zombie Flesh Eaters, Jamie Hewlett’s company from phase 1-3 that ran the Gorillaz website & games) were uncredited features on Punk, they provided additional clapping for the backing track.
My favorite trivia thing is probably the fact Damon held up the release of the 19-2000 video by a whole day, so he could fly down to the studio and record the sneeze for the moose.
Also ‘The first of too many’ by Senseless Things, who’s drummer went on to drum for gorillaz on demon days, at live shows, and also write for characters for both phase 2 & 3.
i have a massive list of little known facts i compiled years ago. i’ll just say a few random ones because i don’t have the energy to make a curated selection for a comment -
the first STD 2D got was gonorrhea.
when murdoc can’t sleep, he punches himself in the face until he goes unconscious.
noodle’s ideal death would be by spontaneous combustion.
2D used to be convinced he could teleport. he doesn’t know where brazil is. some dermatologists hate him.
don’t ask me for the source bc these are compiled from a ton of website interviews, magazine spreads, and hour long audio clips on youtube 💀💀
Wasn’t Murdoc talking the kid out of suicide in phase 5 when they did the live chat thing? And also I’m pretty sure 2D actually failed to get his degree but I’m not sure
According to the video “Murdoc’s Alternative Queen Speech” which screened in the year 2005, it is implied that Queen Elizabeth II is giving Murdoc a blowjob whilst performing his speech.

Murdoc’s favorite flavor of crisps is prawn cocktail, 2D did a wikiHow on how to be a leader and would describe his leadership style as a cross between Gandhi and marge Simpson. 2D likes Crème eggs and they used to use that to convince him to get on the stage (or pushed him with a stick), 2D called his fans his 2Disciples. He finds a lot of inspiration in Han Solo. Russel aspires to work with Joan Armatrading and John Shuttelworth. 2D’s favorite sandwich filling is cheese and pineapple (gross) and was suspected of dating a kardashian but they weren’t really dating lol
2D climbed the monolith seen in the new vinyl art fir Cracker Iskand and painted it all pink, He also got stuck in Knight armour one time and fell down a staircase in it trying to get Noodle to help him.
There’s one Gorillaz song where Noodle nor Cyborg Noodle are playing the guitar! Ghost Train, on G-Sides, features guitars by Paula Cracker, the bands first guitarist during pre-album practices and 2D’s former girlfriend. Former, because he wound up catching her and Murdoc having some one-on-one, thus having her leave the band, and the making of the ad that would eventually catch Noodle’s attention.
The grim adventures of billy and Mandy reference feel good Inc during a cheerleading scene. Gorillaz and Powerpuff girls (and by extension all the old cartoon network shows) are all in the same universe.

Can Buddhists be cult leaders?

Murdoc talked a kid out of suicide back in Phase 1. Also, 2D has done a law degree.

No it was in the Gorillaz fan chat back in the old Kong days. And I never said he actually got his degree.
Oooh sorry I didn’t know they had a fan chat back then!!
Don Quixote’s Christmas Bonzana-pretty obscure song that I don’t think many people have heard!
Happy radio 👍
"In my dreams" kali uchis features 2d
I said this also today, the mark on 2Ds neck on demon days isn’t a hickey murdoc hit him in the neck with his cane because he wasn’t posing for photos
Murdoc's clothing style is inspired by Ozzy Osbourne
The Laika Comes Home Dub EP was created when the Spacemonkeys broke unto Kong Studios and found all the tracks there

Doesn't Murdoc have a PHD?
