About The Moonlandingz

The Moonlandingz first appeared as characters on a 2015 album by the Sheffield electronic duo The Eccentronic Research Council, Adrian Flanagan and Dean Honer, with Lias Saoudi voicing the singer Johnny Rocket. Flanagan and Honer then turned the invented group into a working band with Saoudi and his Fat White Family bandmate Saul Adamczewski.

Their 2017 album 'Interplanetary Class Classics' was produced by Sean Ono Lennon. It sets buzzing analogue synths and motorik rhythms against glam stomp and Saoudi's leering, theatrical delivery, and the live shows keep the Johnny Rocket persona going.
