The Italian band Måneskin comprises Victoria (bass), Damiano (lead singer), Thomas (guitar) and Ethan (drums). Their unique, distorted sound and raw energy brought them a victory at this years Eurovision contest in March.
Måneskin “are bringing rock’n’roll back to the top of international charts with a contemporary twist”.
Speaking to press last month, frontman Damiano David said: “We’re already working on new music and we have a few songs in our pockets, but like everything we do we want to do it properly and be 100 per cent satisfied with what we’re doing. We’re going to take our time: there’s no rush.”
Last week the band dropped a new video for the track “MAMMAMIA”. Speaking about the release at a press conference at Berlin’s SO36 Club, David commented: “We only had a few days to go to the studio and write new music but fortunately this song came out in a few hours – that’s why we felt like it was going to be a banger for us“.
The track has been written after the band received lots of attention following the Eurovision win. “A lot of the time, we did something that we thought was great but people criticised it. I wanted to translate that into the lyrics, because it happens a lot – maybe you’re doing something that you feel is great, but people don’t understand it and make bad judgements and bad comments about it. I wanted to make fun of that situation” – said David.
Bassist Victoria de Angelis added: “We didn’t take it too seriously. It’s a very silly, careless song and we’ve never done something like that before. It came together very naturally. We just tried to have fun and enjoy it, because [it was written] in a moment where we were experiencing a lot of things.” You can watch the fun video for “MAMMAMIA” below.
Since the big win, Måneskin which means ‘moonlight’ in Danish, managed to get two UK Top 10 hits with “I Wanna Be Your Slave” reaching No5 and “Beggin” reaching No6.
Next year Måneskin heads over to UK and Europe for the 2022 Tour. Apparently, most of the dates are now sold out with O2 Academy Brixton tickets vanished within 25 minutes. See full tour details below and ticket info here.
