Apparently, Damon Albarn is making the new Gorillaz album on his iPad, to be released around Christmas (if all goes well). You can read more about it HERE.
In China, there is a video that is in the process of going viral, done by Chinese band 大买麦乐团 (Maiyuetuan) that received over 200,000 hits in 2 days.
The video is popular for the following reasons (in our humble opinions):
- They use massive hyperbole in the video title “XXX strongly recommends the first Chinese coolest ipad band, killing your eyeballs in the first sight, the craziest band in the history, their name is 大买麦乐团”
- XXX, the recommender, is a famous Chinese producer
- Using an iPad to play music is fresh
- does anyone notice the incredible similarity to the Ting Tings, “that’s not my name”?
- does anyone thing 5 people staring and tapping iPads is good live fodder?
- does anyone doubt these guys will be fronting some brand event in the very near future?
And so, the video:
