Thank you man!
Every 300 years, a band built around a crazy concept lands on earth and conquers us all. Think Gorillaz. Think Gorgoro.
Gorgoro's a puppet. Who loves music. Who also fronts for a band naturally named after him. He sings from behind a box while his, well, human bandmates rock on around him. And the music's pretty good. They have a light, bouncy feel to them. If you've seen them play their single, "Mapakali," at least a couple of times, the song sticks in your head. And it has the uncanny ability of popping up with images of a dancing puppet with a striped green T-shirt and high-waisted jeans at the strangest times---like in a serious meeting at the office.
They sang four songs that night because by Gorgoro's own admission, they only have four songs yet. Yeah, give the puppet a break. Even the Beatles had to start somewhere. But their whole set just cracked us up. In between songs, you would catch him "consulting" bandmates, presumably to agree on the next song to play. Or he would engage the audience in a lively banter. As they wound up their set, he exhorted all to, "think inside the box!" Even his bandmates could not keep straight faces on stage.
Look him up. He's here on multiply: http://gorgoro.multiply.com. He's on youtube, myspace, and probably every social networking site out there. Better yet, watch him live.
Who needs tattoed, menacing rock stars when you've got Gorgoro?
