Today Big O is on fire and have posted links to Gorillaz Live at the Boiler Room in Tokyo last month presumably to promote the new album 'The Now Now' seeing as how the entire set seems like the new album (see below)

This is ripped from HDTV broadcast so it's fine fine quality

GORILLAZ - BRONX 2017

They say . . . . . . . 

Gorillaz, the shapeshifting, multi-platinum band co-founded by Damon Albarn and illustrator Jamie Hewlett, took over New York City last week in anticipation of the release of their fifth album, Humanz (released on April 28, 2017).The day after their exhilarating, stripped-down show at Rough Trade NYC, the band’s first in New York in seven years, Albarn and his bandmates also transformed FUV’s studios as Gorillaz’ own hideaway for a full day, bringing along their crew, full gear, soundboards and lighting rig. Their six-song set was a marvel, as Albarn sang with Chicago house legend Jamie Principle on the haunting “Sex Murder Party” and the soulful Peven Everett on “Strobelite.”For Humanz, Albarn was inspired by house and hi- hop, and up-and-coming artists that his teenage daughter Missy had put on his radar (yes, Albarn wants to be a cool dad too). There’s an impressive and diverse lineup of guest artists populating Humanz, like Principle, Everett, D.R.A.M., Grace Jones, Vince Staples, Mavis Staples, Savages’ Jehnny Beth, Pusha T, Benjamin Clementine, Kali Uchis, Popcaan, frequent collaborators De La Soul, and even Blur’s former Britpop rival, Noel Gallagher, formerly of Oasis.+ + + + +Thanks to tamlyn for sharing the tracks at Dime.

Gorillaz say . . . . . :

'We got The Power' features alongside Noel Gallagher, the great vocalist/artist Jehnny Beth from Savages
