Gorillaz are to launch their autobiography 'Rise Of The Ogre' today, October 27th, at a special exhibition at London's South Bank.

The band's creative director Jamie Hewlett is due to unveil a giant mural of the cartoon outfit on hoardings around the Royal Festival Hall and South Bank Centre from 1pm.

A pop-up shop will be selling copies of the band's autobiography for one day only and will be clearly signposted across bridges from Embankment and Waterloo. Hewlett's giant mural will be displayed on the hoardings until February 2007.

'Rise Of The Ogre' follows the cartoon outfit's antics through their eyes - from the release of their first EP 'Tomorrow Comes Today' in November 2000 right through to their recent show at New York's Harlem Apollo.

The illustrated 300-page autobiography also contains shots from the band's personal photo albums, along with unseen backstage footage.
