We like rock music more than you. It's just the way it is…

Not only have Gorillaz apparently stolen riffs from other songs but now they’re stealing members from other bands.

Damon Albarn spoke to Triple J radio in Australia (via NME) recently and talked about how the band acquired a new member from Liam Gallagher.

“We have a young lad called Jeff who funnily enough is in Liam’s new band,” said Albarn. It should be noted that Albarn’s former band, Blur, had quite the heated rivalry with Gallagher’s former band Oasis. How does Albarn look at the situation? “I just thought that was quite funny.” You can see photos of Jeff working with Albarn and the Clash’s Mick Jones and Paul Simonon right over here.

Albarn also talked about how the set-up for the new Gorillaz live show is different than before.

“We have used holograms in the past,” he said, “but to really successfully put a hologram on the stage you need so much smoke you can’t see anything else, or you stretch a piece of very fine transparent film across the stage and project across that. But you can’t have any bass, because the film starts rattling. This time we’re going out all guns blazing, with the best bass sounds on earth.”

Gorillaz are currently on a mini-tour through the U.K. before making their way stateside for a giant show at the Coachella festival on April 18th. They’ve also announced shows at Roundhouse in London on April 29th and 30th. Tickets can be bought here on March 26th at 9am GMT.
