El Mañana/Kids With Guns

Covers

Gorillaz 4th single, containing both fans favourite Gorillaz tracks: the slow and deep El Mañana and the song with its funky bass, Kids With Guns. This single is released as a double A-Side, that means both tracks were included on every single format that gets released. The DVD version featured contributions from the winners of the talent quest hold by Gorillaz in 2005, “Search For A Star” (SFAS) – Carl Sowerby’s animations accompanied the demo of Don’t Get Lost In Heaven, and a card insert was included with a picture from the winner of the image gallery. The reverse of the card also contained a URL where the winner of the Audio category’s remix of Dirty Harry could be heard. The CD and 7″ version got their own special feature; both versions were accompanied by a free poster. The single fared poorly in the UK charts due to limited availability in shops, the fact that neither of the tracks received playlisting on mainstream radio, and the fact that by the time of release, 1.5 million copies of Demon Days had already been sold in the UK.
