I first saw That 1 Guy in a live situation. I had traveled down to Seattle Washington to see Porcupine Tree Live, and That 1 Guy happened to be opening for them.
I has absolutely mesmerized by the performance. I had never seen 1 person do so much music before. And it all sounded incredible.
With his crazy harp/contrabass/midi control setup, I had no idea even what I was supposed to think of him.
So when I got home I quickly grabbed myself a copy of his CD "The Moon is Disgusting" and I haven't bothered criticizing a single thing he has done since.
Take a listen.
Noticeable Traits:
Plays the most unique instrument...ever.
I suppose he is kind of folky
Often quite funny with his lyrics and vocals.
Kind of "Drums and Bass" feel (Although there are no drums...)
He looks pretty hilarious I must admit.

Gorillaz is a super classic band, and for a good reason. With some of the best combinations of electronic music, featuring artists from Mos Def, to MF Doom, it's a really incredible band.
Their newest album, "The Fall", was even recording entirely on an iPad! I highly recommend they become an integral part to your music library, and I've been listening to them for the last month straight (Religiously).
