Pulling a Murdoc

Forming a band in a way that is considered to be unethical, this could be (but is not limited to), a record label grouping good looking music prodigies together to form a band, genetically creating band members or kidnapping various people and asking them to join your band.

The term got its name from Murdoc Niccals, a fictional member of the band Gorillaz, who basically met one of his band mates after putting him in a coma, kidnapped another, and found their 4th member in a fed ex crate when she was 10 (she mailed herself to them).

Alternative names include: Pulling a Murdoc Niccals, Pulling a Niccals, Murdoc moment, Murdoc Niccals moment and Niccals moment

“Hey did you hear about Alex’s new band?”
“Yeah, that guy really is just pulling a Murdoc at this point”
