Red Hot Chili Gorillaz Supergroup (Top Story)

11/06/2010
. Red Hot Chili Gorillaz Supergroup was a top 10 story this week . Here is the recap: (Gibson) Damon Albarn is adding another group to his ever-growing list of projects. The Gorillaz and Blur frontman has told Spin.com that he's been at work on a new band with Red Hot Chili Peppers' bassist Flea and Nigerian drummer Tony Allen (who worked with Fela Kuti and was in The Good, the Bad and the Queen with Albarn).

"[It's] another band with Tony Allen; centered around what he does," Albarn said. "But this time it's him and me and Flea from the Chili Peppers and some of my favorite African musicians will be involved also. Flea of course is an anagram for Fela and Flea is so into this music � so that's been great."

It's not the first we're hearing of Flea's love of African music. As Gibson.com previously reported, Flea and the Chili Peppers are experimenting with Afro-pop sounds on their forthcoming album. - more on this story
