Gorillaz launches a bot to get his bass player out of jail

During the past week they became a viral sensation; with the announcement of the release of a new album, and the replacement of bassist Murdoc Niccals for a character from the Powerpuff Girls.

The movement baffled many, but there is a reason behind: the musician is in jail because he didsomething wrong. Something so bad that we do not even know what it is.

That is why Gorillaz is putting together a campaign to free his friend and they have launched the Free Murdoc site to achieve it. There, users can talk directly with the bass player if they have an Amazon Alexa speaker.

But the fun is not limited only to them, since the Murdoc bot also works in the Messenger of Facebook, Skype and Kik. Although only via text.

With the preparations prior to the announcement of the disc it was revealed that the character was imprisoned. This triggered the reaction of some fans who even reached the degree of posting a petition on Change.org to release it.

According to the author of the petition, the band learned of the existence of that page. So Free Murdoc seems a complementary and more elaborate answer. For the approval of his followers.

The band released Humilty five days ago, the first single from their new album THE NOW NOW. There we see the replacement of Murdoc. But it points out that in the following videos we will see some changes.
