If each song in the debut album is about a drug, a theory I believe I heard once, then Clint Eastwood is about cannabis…God… I’m getting really tired. A minimalist melody, only three cords in the main riff, Clint Eastwood is the definition of mindfuck.

“Shit” I thought.ĭeriving it’s name from the melodica motif played throughout this gem (the theme of The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly for those who haven’t seen the greatest western of all time) Clint Eastwood was a statement track that made and continues to make a lasting impression upon the music landscape. I remember the first time it came on MTV to blow my little mind. No squealing, remember that it's all in your headĬlint Eastwood was the first single of this Album, and it cemented Gorillaz as a household name. So you can survive when law is lawless (right here)įeelings, sensations that you thought was dead So I'mma stick around with Russ and be a mentorīust a few rhymes so motherfuckers remember where the thought is Y'all can see me now 'cause you don't see with your eye Through Russel, not his muscles but percussion he provides I see destruction and demise (that's right) You have it or you don't that's a fallacy To you because I put you on the high shit

Hero who appears in you to clear your view when you're too crazy Picture you gettin' down in a picture tube Now, time for me is nothing cause I'm counting no age Note: "Heavy Gorillaz" is my nickname of the Heavy Seas line-up (featuring Mike Smith and Jeff Wootton of Gorillaz) that feature Gabe "Manuals" Wallace of Gorillaz as the drummer, making the lineup 4/5 Gorillaz (exception is Seye Adelekan) However, the details not only pulled the whole event together, they also made for a fun, beautiful and familiar experience.Live at Egyptian Ballroom (Heavy Gorillaz): ZZ Top to perform at Agua Caliente Rancho Mirage in Februaryįor a group based out of the United Kingdom, and for the most part inspired by Japanese art, it was almost surprising to see all of the Mexican elements that Gorillaz decided to include in the festival.

The giant Día de los Muertos sculpture served as the band’s entrance. Most of these elements came back before the Gorillaz started their headlining-set. Look, guys, look!! The skeletons came back before the band played their set!! /Ng5YhtEfh1 Almost every cocktail menu featured Corona, tequila, michelada and palomas. Even the alcoholic drinks stayed true to Mexico. Taco booths, a papusa truck, tortas, they had it all. It was abundant, located at every corner, and filled the festival grounds with rich smells. However, at this festival, Mexican food shined. Food and DrinkĪs far as food goes, it’s all about the tacos, papusas and tortas 😋 you can smell it from basically everywhere! And to drink… /kcKgWTXaC7īest meal to have at (but also, maybe it’s the best meal ever?) 🌮🍺🤤🙌🏻 /X5yoLLSfErĪt any music festival these days in the food vendor section, it’s common to see anything from burgers and Greek gyros to vegan ramen and green tea boba. A few minutes into a fight, a decent-sized audience would form and cheer their favorite fighters on. Big, burly men dressed up in colorful masks body-slammed each other, threw beer on the crowd and put on a show for anyone interested. In between bands on the main stage, a popular Mexican form of wrestling took place on a ring located pretty much in the middle of festival grounds. I also got sprayed with water (maybe beer? 😂) during this insanely fun lucha libre fight in between bands. Not only did the tent itself resemble the holiday, but inside there was a face painting station where you could get done up in skull makeup. The tent was shaped like a calavera, a colorfully painted sugar skull usually displayed during Día de los Muertos. There was also a Demon Dayz Dome that featured DJs throughout the festival. Went inside the to catch Chulita Vinyl Club spin some records!! It totally ruled! Check them out if you can, they DJ in LA and OC often 🎶✨ /bin6ly1OFE The art piece made for a popular photo opp. There was also a hard-to-miss Gorillaz sculpture that transformed each animated member of the band, Noodle, Murdoc Niccals, 2-D and Russel Hobbs, into a dancing skeleton mariachi musician. Haven’t even made it to a stage at there’s so much to see!! Like this insane Día de Los Muertos mariachi version of /iNMXauHKQo
