Gorillaz lore (the origin)

Hii, today i'm kinda bored and i don't wanna study so i'm gonna write the origins of Gorillaz

so, it all started when in August 1997 a Satanist thug named Murdoc Niccals decided he wanted to become a musician. He had already been in other bands where he was the singer, like "Murdoc's burning sensations" (so much for the protagonism). He didn't succeed because his voice sucked as hell and so one day, on August 15th, during a robbery he decided to break into a music equipment store, too bad he decided to do it BY BREAKING THROUGH THE SHOP WINDOW with his Vauxhall and hitting a poor guy who worked there part-time, Stuart Pot, who was a keyboard and singing enthusiast, in the face. The poor guy ended up catatonic and with a damaged left eye. Murdoc was forced to take care of Stu-Pot and do community service. But that madman decided to impress some girls by doing a 360 degree spin with his car, while Stu was inside... The poor guy ended up crushed on the pavement with a damage to his right eye, but he woke up from the catatonic state, at least. Murdoc was impressed (?!) by Stuart's appearance and decided to take him into the band as a singer. He even renamed him, with a rather silly name: 2D (Two-dents, because he had 2 dents on his head caused by accidents.) Then, in September Murdoc bought the property of the Khong mansion, a haunted studio that was located between a cemetery and a landfill, and renamed it 'Kong Studios'. Now, the band needed a drummer. Murdoc had the bright idea of going to a record store in Soho and KIDNAPPING a guy who worked there: Russell Hobbs (not the brand of kitchen stuff). the drummer in question, an African-American originally from New York, had a shitty childhood, except that he was kicked out of a private school for demonic possession, and because of this possession he was in a coma for 4 years. He woke up from the coma only after an exorcism, and later started attending a public school, where he met many rappers and DJs. Later, however, during a drive-by shooting while they were out, everyone died except Russel, who became a receptacle for all the spirits of his friends, the coolest of which is Del The Ghost Rapper. From there he became very good at drumming. After all this mess, Russel's family sent him to England to his uncle, hoping he would be able to come back sane. He started working in this record store, was kidnapped by Murdoc and was taken to Kong Studios. there, he listened to Murdoc and 2D's demos, was impressed and decided to stay even though he had been kidnapped by a madman. Paula Cracker, 2D's girlfriend at the time, was chosen as the guitarist, and then a random monkey was chosen to play the bongos, who was called Mr. Maggits. It was time to choose the name of the band: 'Thor's raw', 'Number of the beast', 'Meatus', 'Asterix' were some of the suggestions for the name, but in the end 'Gorilla' was chosen. Things were ODDLY quiet, until Russel, one night, found Paula and Murdoc in cubicle 3 of the Kong Studios bathrooms. Disgusted by what he was seeing, he punched Murdoc 5 times in the nose, which broke it (although it was not the first time he broke it). So by now Paula was out of the band, and they decided to put an ad in NME saying so. That same day, a FedEx container arrived at Kong Studios and out came a 7-year-old Japanese girl holding a Gibson Les Paul who said some incomprehensible things in Japanese and did a crazy guitar riff, ending with a karate kick and a bow. Everyone was completely shocked and speechless. Afterwards, she said "Noodle", the only comprehensible word she said, and they decided to call her that. In April 1998, the band was assembled (finally) and Noodle suggested changing the band name from "Gorilla" to "Gorillaz". Mr. Maggits left the band due to creative differences, and Gorillaz made their first song: "Ghost Train". So, that's the origin of Gorillaz. Then I get bored writing everything else and there's my mother yelling at me because I have to study science, so bye bye :3
