Gorillaz are billed as a "virtual band," but with all due regard to artist Jamie Hewlett, creator of the cartoon rockers purportedly behind the music, the ensemble led by Damon Albarn may have outgrown its multimedia gimmick. Performing Thursday night at New York City's Ed Sullivan Theater as function of the 'Experience on Letterman' webcast series, Albarn's hip-pop electro-dub rock 'n' roll circus needed little in the way of theatrics.
