The Moonlandingz detail their first release in seven years, "The Sign Of A Man"
Seven years after their debut, The Moonlandingz have returned with the announcement of their second studio album, No Rocket Required, alongside the release of lead single, "The Sign Of A Man".
When they first emerged from Valhalla Dale they were a semi-fictional band offering solace and punishment in the months following the Brexit vote and Trump’s first victory. Adrian Flanagan, Dean Honer and Lias Saoudi – AKA The Moonlandingz – conspired with Yoko Ono, Sean Ono Lennon, Rebecca Taylor, Phil Oakey and the Cowboy from The Village People to make one of the great albums of 2017 – Interplanetary Class Classics.
The day after Trump's second inauguration, The Moonlandingz have returned. Speaking of their comeback single Johnny Rocket (Lias Saoudi) says, “Nature left man half-finished, unresolved, alienated, lost to permanent exile, unable or unwilling to surrender even to himself…is it any wonder he grew callous? This is a song about torpor unbound, about the relegation of love into need, about our failure to summon up ‘care’… this is a song about justice.”
In addition, the band have announce a London show at The Lexington on 21 February.
"The Sign Of A Man" is out now via Transgressive Records.
