AS the music industry comes together to honour creative women all over the world in celebration of International Women’s Day, The Moonlandingz have embraced the special occasion in their own inimitable style.
Teaming up with friend and collaborator, actor Maxine Peake, the band have reworked one of their most popular tracks ‘The Man In Me Lyfe’, as taken from their 2015 self-titled EP, and renamed it ‘The Woman In Me Lyfe (The Gender Balance De-Mix)’.
The Moonlandingz songwriter & founder, Adrian Flanagan said: “My musical partner Dean Honer & I popped over to Maxine’s house over in Salford a few weeks back and got her to holler a few phrases in to a tape machine whilst she did the hula hoop around her living room…We then did some audio taxidermy on the original track and Voila, we now have gender balance!!..We did it for no other reasons than as a little fun and to warm your hearts!!’
The Moonlandingz have been praised for their support of women in the music industry in the run up to their UK tour; the band actively invited female fronted artists to support them on their forthcoming run of dates in protest at they have called “sausage fest live bills & arcane views towards female musicians and artists”.
Set to release their highly anticipated debut album Interplanetary Class Classics on 24th March, the band will play Stereo in Glasgow the previous night alongside Goat Girl and another local female fronted group.
