Synopsis

Episode image for The A to Z of Gorillaz

Find out what happened when Rob Da Bank went down into the Radio 1 dungeons with Gorillaz bassist, Murdoc Niccals.

While discussing 26 of the band's favourite tracks, from A to Z, Rob and Murdoc look back over the career of the band, and find out what's brought them to the present day and the release of their new album, Plastic Beach.

Covering everything from the inner workings of Murdoc's brain to what he's done with the rest of the band, this is a funny and fantastical journey into the world of Gorillaz. With some real musical treats along the way.
