Who are Måneskin?
Måneskin is a rock band from Rome, consisting of members Damiano David (lead vocals), Victoria De Angelis (bass), Thomas Raggi (guitar), and Ethan Torchio (drums). The group formed in 2016, while the members were in high school. When coming up with the name of the band, Victoria, who is half Danish, was asked to say some Danish words to see what they could come up with. And so they went with Måneskin, which means “moonshine”.
