On paper, the idea of Gorillaz may seem a little hokey. Successful rock star (Damon Albarn of Blur) and successful comic book artist (Jamie Hewlett of Tank Girl) combine forces to create the world's first virtual band, mashing together the world of rock and roll fandom and comic geekdom into an entirely parallel universe of four animated weirdos who've joined forces to make music and have adventures. However, what these two created nearly 12 years ago has far exceeded any sort of expectations, growing into a legitimately beautiful, creatively fertile universe that manages to float effortlessly through genres to help engineer some really unexpected results in their cross-pollination.

While a giant, fairly generic concrete box like Key Arena is a tough one to truly commandeer, Gorillaz pulled out all the stops to help transform the Key into a part of their weird, colorful universe.
