Lexington, London
Dreamed up by Eccentronic Research Council, fronted by two of Fat White Family, and obsessed over in a video by actress Maxine Peake – now the Moonlandingz are playing as a real band
Is it a band, is it a prank, is it a concept? There is something very meta about the Moonlandingz, a group who began life as a fictional construct yet now find themselves, through strange happenstance, edging towards a more conventional existence.
They began life as the central conceit on Sheffield electro-duo Eccentronic Research Council’s excellent recent concept album, Johnny Rocket, Narcissist & Music Machine … I’m Your Biggest Fan. Its avant-garde psych-rock serves as the backdrop for Maxine Peake to play a stalker infatuated with a small-town Yorkshire glam-rock star, Johnny Rocket, singer with the Moonlandingz.
