Gorillaz Sound System for Embassy Playground 2012

[Gober]

Festival tahunan Embassy Playground yang absen tahun kemarin, akhirnya bakal diadain lagi. Event tahunan ini adalah yang kelima kalinya diadakan. Dan secara kebetulan (atau sengaja) mereka mengambil tanggal hari Sabtu, 5 Mei (5/5) 2012.

Belum banyak info yang bisa diberikan oleh Embassy, beberapa info selentingannya bisa dibaca di account twitternya @playground_5th.

Beberapa artis yang udah confirm di pengumuman twitternya adalah Gorillaz Sound System, St. Etienne dan the Silent Concert.

Gorillaz Sound System buat yang belum tahu, Damon Albam mempunya 2 grup dari Gorillaz, yaitu Gorillaz Live yang ditampilkan secara live band & Gorillaz Sound System yang merupakan "Party Version" nya dari Gorillaz. Grup ini bakal diisi oleh seorang DJ, Perkusi, Drummer dan tentunya seorang VJ yang bakal nampilin kartun kartun ala Gorillaz. Mereka bakal mainin banyak lagu dari Gorillaz secara live.



Saint Etienne adalah band dari inggris yang beranggotakan Sarah Cracknell, Bob Stanley dan Pete Wiggs. Band ini dibentuk tahun 90-an di Croydon, Inggris dan sudah menelurkan 8 album. Hits mereka antara lain Only Love Can Break Your Heart, Who Do You Think You Are dan masih banyak lagi.



Satu lagi pertunjukan yang udah di confirm di twitternya adalah Silent Concert. Bagi yang udah pernah dateng ke Embassy Playground di pantai Carnaval Ancol pasti udah ga asing lagi dengan yang namanya Silent Disco. Konsepnya masih sama dengan yang biasanya yaitu mendengarkan musik yang sedang dimainkan dengan headphone wireless. So you wont hear any music untill you put on the headphones.

Playground ke 5 ini bakal ngehadirin banyak artis dari banyak genre. Di Twitter mereka kabarnya sudah ngasih hint bahwa bakal bawa seorang musisi Dubstep untuk pertama kalinya ke Indonesia.

Tiket Playground kali ini udah dijual di outlet Portico Senayan City dengan harga Rp.295.000,00. Playground tahun ini ga cuma digelar di jakarta, tapi mereka kabarnya akan gelar juga di Bali pada tanggal 9 Mei 2012.

Gorillaz Sound System buat yang belum tahu memang bukan band Gorillaz yang diketuai oleh Damon Albarn. Grup ini bakal diisi oleh seorang DJ, Perkusi, Drummer dan tentunya seorang VJ yang bakal nampilin kartun kartun ala Gorillaz. Mereka bakal mainin banyak lagu dari Gorillaz secara live.

Gw ga ngerti deh ini...
Jadi sekarang ini Gorillaz sistem franchise atau sistem MLM nih?
Damon dkk tinggal duduk santai, yang perform orang lain, dan mereka tetap dapat pemasukan dari hal tersebut?


Seems legit.

Damon Albarn Hints That Blur And Gorillaz Are Done

As we've come to expect, Damon Albarn has been keeping busy of late. The songwriter recently recorded two studio albums, Rocket Juice and the Moon and the Dr. Dee Soundtrack, and has some live dates with Blur lined up. In a recent interview with The Guardian, though, Albarn hints that Gorillaz and Blur are all but finished.

Last August, Albarn responded to questions about whether there was a new Blur album on the way by saying: "no, not really." Albarn went on to elaborate that due to bassist Alex James and drummer Dave Rowntree no longer being "daily musicians" that it was hard for the band to really "reconnect." Later in the interview, Albarn went on to say the following:

"It's fine when we play live – it's really magical still – but actually recording new stuff, and swapping musical influences... it's quite difficult."

When asked if his responses were to be implied that this was the official end of Blur, Albarn stated, "In all likelihood, I would say." This goes against earlier reports from Graham Coxon who was quoted as saying in February that, "there will definitely be a new Blur album."

As also reported, Blur will play a new song, though. Albarn told The Guardian that they recorded the song live and that it was, "quite nice, because I don't really see any more recordings after this. So it's nice to have finally done one song where we did it properly."

As for the Gorillaz, things look just as bleak if not more so. Albarn revealed that co-founder Jamie Hewlett feels the project is "done" and thus, Albarn concluded that it was unlikely Gorillaz would record and release any more music. In addition, Albarn revealed that him and Hewlett were no longer speaking.

Looks like fans of Gorillaz and Blur will have to enjoy the great music they've got thus far from Albarn and company.
