MTV Video Music Awards last month.During the Italian rock band’s thumping performance of “Supermodel,” bassist Victoria De Angelis’ top fell off, causing her breast to be fully exposed and MTV censors to strangely cut away to empty seats for about 40 seconds. Meanwhile, lead singer Damiano David bared his chest — as well as his buns — while rocking assless leather chaps. “I wasn’t wearing a shirt, so it’s a bit antiquated that showing a woman’s nipples should be any different from showing a man’s,” he told The Post.Still, Måneskin is hoping there’s no repeat wardrobe malfunction when they hit the stage on the Great Lawn of Central Park at the annual Global Citizen Festival on Saturday.

Watch our interview above.Just before taking the festival’s main stage and performing to an audience of over 65,000 fans on Sunday (July 31), Damiano David, Victoria De Angelis, Thomas Raggi, and Ethan Torchio told us that topping US charts has been “super cool.”The Italian glam rocker’s single, ‘Supermodel’ has been the No 1 song on US alternative radio for two weeks and counting.“‘Supermodel’ has been our first global release,” frontman David told us.

Måneskin have spoken to NME about their huge popularity in the US, and how they were recently invited round to have breakfast with Coldplay‘s Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson.The Italian Eurovision winners were talking to NME for this week’s Big Read cover story, ahead of a huge homecoming gig in Verona and shortly after being one of the most talked about acts at Coachella 2022, on a line-up largely dominated by pop and solo acts including Billie Eilish, Harry Styles and Megan Thee Stallion. In our interview, they opened up about why they stand out in the States.“Everyone who came to our gigs was saying: ‘We’ve seen no bands like this’,” bassist Victoria De Angelis told NME.

Måneskin have spoken to NME about working with director Baz Luhrman on their cover of ‘If I Can Dream’ for upcoming Elvis biopic.Elvis, the upcoming Presley biopic directed by Baz Luhrmann that’s set to arrive in cinemas next month, comes with a soundtrack of covers along with “original songs and recordings” by Presley himself and the film’s star, Austin Butler.

It's been a whirlwind year for Eurovision 2021 winners Måneskin since they won the contest with their song Zitti e Buoni. The Italian group, which consists of singer Damiano David, bassist Victoria De Angelis, guitarist Thomas Raggi and drummer Ethan Torchio, stormed the competition in the Netherlands with an impressive 524 points.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorIt’s safe to say that although Italian rock quartet Maneskin were pretty huge in their home country and parts of Europe when they took the Eurovision stage last year, their name recognition and popularity exploded when they won the coveted prize with their song “Zitti E Buoni.” Over the past year, the group has seen their streams, sales and tour itineraries soar, appeared on “Saturday Night Live” and at the Coachella festival — and perhaps most impressive of all, began working with Max Martin, the most successful songwriter-producer of the past 25 years (from Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys to Katy Perry to the Weeknd and Taylor Swift), on their next album.Although the group premiere a new, anti-Putin song called “Gasoline” at Coachella last month, the first fruit of the new partnership arrives tonight: the single “Supermodel,” which drops tonight. While Martin started off as a singer in a hard rock band, this is the first time in many years he’s worked with one — and it’s hard not to notice that the song’s riff owes more than a little to Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” “Yeeepppp,” bassist Victoria De Angelis acknowledges coyly.

With the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 final in Turin fast approaching, last year's winners Måneskin are set to return to the stage with their new single Supermodel.
