Gorillaz documentary to get DVD release

Damon Albarn’s animated band Gorillaz will finally release their DVD documentary, Bananaz, in the near future.

Currently working on their third full studio album, the group put out a MySpace message revealing more details about the film:

 "Bananaz gives a 91 minute look inside the remarkable real world of Gorillaz, ­the most successful animated band ever. At the birth of the project, film maker Ceri Levy set about to document this undertaking. Levy filmed alongside and behind the scenes from 2000 to 2006, from first drawings, animations, music and the musicians, through to the faces behind the voices of Murdoc, 2D, Noodle and Russel Hobbs."

"The result is a free-wheeling documentary film; an intimate, honest and often hilarious account of the working relationship between Albarn and Hewlett. With appearances by many of those who occasionally pass through this world ; Dennis Hopper, De la Soul, Ibrahim Ferrer, Dangermouse, Dan the Automator, D12, Bootie Brown and Neneh Cherry."

So it sounds like it will be a cross between animation and live footage of the band and musicians at work. Should be worth a look in…
