The Moonlandingz
The Spiel
The Moonlandingz are a semi-fictional, genre-hopping collective of psychedelic, dub, krautrock, circuit-bent electronics and pop-noir misfits — and occasional cultural agitators — born in Sheffield, UK. Formed in 2015 by Adrian Flanagan (Eccentronic Research Council / Acid Klaus), producer and synthesist Dean Honer (The All Seeing I / I Monster) and magnetic frontman and lyricist Lias Saoudi (Fat White Family / Decius), the group has since evolved into one of Britain’s most thrillingly unpredictable sonic experiments. Across their output they’ve collaborated with a wildly diverse cast, including Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon, Maxine Peake, Randy Jones (Village People), Philip Oakey (The Human League) and Rebecca Lucy Taylor (Self Esteem). Their latest album No Rocket Required pushes things even further, featuring appearances from Iggy Pop, Nadine Shah and Jessica Winter. Since release, the record has earned rave reviews across the UK, Europe and the US. Recent singles have all been playlisted on BBC 6 Music, accompanied by a live session for Marc Riley and a 30-minute interview on the station’s Teatime programme. Most recently, their track “It’s Where I’m From” (feat. Iggy Pop) soundtracked a global Levi’s campaign, cementing The Moonlandingz as one of the most inventive and culturally magnetic bands operating today.
