Gorillaz created one of the best interactive metaverse experiences to date. In 1998. During the explosion of manufactured pop boy bands, 2 British artists decided to manufacture their own band. They created the characters 2-D (vocals, keyboards), Murdoc Niccals (bass guitar), Noodle (guitar, keyboards, vocals) and Russel Hobbs (drums) and an entire fictional universe that they existed in. Live concerts often only displayed digital projections of the fictional band. Over the years they've blended the reality between the real band and the virtual one. The lead single, "Clint Eastwood" introduced the world to their first meta-verse that they could interact with. The styling of the characters and the music videos captivated an audience desperate for something new. https://youtu.be/1V_xRb0x9aw?feature=shared
