		Unbeknownst to the band, Jeanette was a classically trained singer who had began a Bachelor of Music at UCC but had dropped all opera aspirations in favour of the rhythm and style of the house scene.
		Cartoons’ lead single, Move On, is the first song that she has ever penned.
		She received the beats and bassline from Bob and Darragh in the post on Friday, wrote the lyrics and melody on Saturday and recorded it with the band on Sunday, all of which goes to underline the fact that Limerick is most famous for it’s slow horses and fast women.

		The first such performance by the band was made on 3 November 2005, the third night of the Demon Days Live festival, when the band simultaneously appeared at the 2005 MTV Europe Music Awards in Lisbon, Portugal and performed their song "Feel Good Inc.".

	Virtual band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A virtual band (also known as a virtual group or cartoon band), in music, is any group whose members are not flesh-and-blood musicians, but animated characters.
		Perhaps the most complex live performance by a virtual band was Gorillaz' performances at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Lisbon and the 2006 Grammy Awards.
		Their tenure as a band was to be brief: they had released two singles through Warner-Chappell Australia, one of which was only available through the site, before disappearing in 2001.

		The band Cartoon was formed in 1995 in Belo Horizonte-MG, and it is today one of the greatest exponents of Brazilian rock.
		In this CD Cartoon`s proposal was to develop a work based in the free and good humored interpretation of the legend of King Arthur and the knigths of the round table, becoming the 1st Brazilian band to produce this genre of musical art.
		Although, behind the irreverence of this work, as well as in the previous one, there is a strong spiritual message destined to the whole audience of the band, no matter your age, beliefs or religion.

		It’s not every day that a band of cartoon characters are bold enough to launch a full nationwide tour that doesn’t involve screenings at movie theaters or Disney-style holidays on ice.
		Then again, it’s not often you find a cartoon band who have the kind of, uh, "backing" boasted by Gorillaz, a ragtag bunch of animated hitmakers comprising bassist Murdoc (a shady delinquent), guitarist Noodles (a tiny Japanese dynamo), keyboardist 2D (a cute but vacant Brit), and drummer Russel (hip-hop aficionado and the lone American).
		The original idea was like, ‘Let’s create a cartoon band because in that way we won’t have to go on tour, they can do all the work, and we’ll just kind of sit back and collect royalty checks.’ But it didn’t really work out that way.

		It was supposed to be a way to take the heat off Albarn, who had been in the spotlight since leading his band to become one of the biggest in the country in the 1990s.
		For a band that was created so its members could escape the cycle of attention and expectation, that was the last thing they wanted.
		But Gorillaz have been so popular that the band are now hugely successful in their own right.

		The band members said they are going to make a full-length movie and a second album to serve as a score.
		On February 26 the band will also release G-Sides, a collection of remixes and b-sides, which Hewlett said is, at times, better than the LP.

	Gorillaz: G-Sides - PopMatters Music Review
		The concept of cartoon bands has always fascinated me. You can't ask for a better marriage between visual and audio than sharp animation and sharp music.
		Early attempts at the cartoon band concept generally lacked music that reflected the popular music of the time accurately.
		Listening to their debut album release, you couldn't escape the conclusion that the music was the driving force behind the creation of the group and that it would ultimately determine their success or failure.

		While the above bands ruled the Saturday morning cartoon slots at various periods during our collection childhoods, they never really managed to break out of the confines of the cathode box and impact the world at large.
		And that, my friends, is where any comparisons between the cartoon bands of yesteryear and the cartoon band of tomorrow, the Gorillaz, ends.
		But very few of these so-called bands can actually, with a straight face no less, claim to be a bona fide cartoon band.

		That band was a quartet known as Kidd Video (spelled with two d's, because they were just that hip!), and they appeared in their own half hour cartoon from 1984 to 1986.
		The cartoon followed the band as they befriend a fairy named Glitter (NOT voiced Mariah Carey, thank God), and try to find a way back to their own world.
		Here we've got a band sucked through a mirror to an alternate dimension where they turn into cartoons, and then are chased around by a fat guy on a floating chair with some talking cats and followed around by a lesbian fairy!

	The New Yorker: The Critics: Musical Events
		In 2000, Albarn and a friend, Jamie Hewlett, formed a new band, Gorillaz, officially consisting of four cartoon characters: 2D, a spacey blue-haired singer; Murdoc, a creepy bassist; Noodle, a Japanese female guitarist; and Russel, a hulking fl drummer.
		(Imagine a post-punk version of Josie and the Pussycats.) The cartoon band, which was drawn by Hewlett, a professional artist who is famous for creating the comic strip “Tank Girl,” was an ingenious conceit, enabling Albarn to orchestrate a comeback without showing his face.
		Albarn, who writes the band’s songs and plays almost all the instruments, could now make music with whomever he pleased, and without the problems that plague live groups—members who show up hung over at rehearsals or photo shoots, or who simply quit.

		His idea, naturally, was to develop a cartoon revolving around the pair and its bubbly pop.
		The retro-adorable style of animation is also driven by the band's catchy pop music, which can be described as Joan Jett on a steady diet of helium and lollipops, or a tougher, heavily caffeinated Go-Go's, or even a female Cheap Trick as produced by ELO.
		The duo have a cartoon Lucy and Ethel quality on the show, especially when they take a job at a candy factory and find themselves battling a rogue ball of taffy.

		In the very darkest days of progressive music, Cartoon were one of the very brightest stars of U.S. classical/progressive rock.

		Sortie is both their lps (minus one track that wouldn't fit) directly off the masters, and includes a 12 page book with photos and a band history.
