Italian rockers MÅNESKIN put their own spin on the good, old-fashioned rock power ballad with “The Loneliest,” a new single out today (Oct. 7).

Måneskin’s La Dolce Vita
Stacked heels, glam Gucci ensembles and delightfully lascivious asides, Måneskin’s Saturday Night Live debut stunned. It was tamer than the quartet’s club show at New York City’s Bowery Ballroom gig in October, where bassist Victoria De Angelis played with only black electrical tape over her nipples and frontman Damiano David spat water (Iggy Pop-style) into the eager mouths of the rabid young female crowd. De Angelis and David then gleefully leaped into the arms of their adoring acolytes to crowd-surf, before David invited the entire audience on stage. They accepted.

Possessed of the smolder of Elvis ...

They also performed “I Wanna Be Your Slave.” [embedded content][embedded content] [embedded content][embedded content] Måneskin’s performance follows Bleachers‘ first time playing the SNL stage last week. Jack Antonoff made sure his debut was memorable by bringing out some special...
