Moon Fang

Moon Fang are a Belarusian rock band who represented Belarus at the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Edinburgh with the song Runnin' With The Wolves. They performed in the first semi-final, but failed to get enough points to qualify for the grand final of the event.

Members of Moon Fang were played by the South East London ska band Bogus Gasman and actress Aiste Gramantaite.

Their aesthetic obviously parodies when cartoon metal band LORDI from Finland won the real life song contest in 2006 with their song “Hard Rock Hallelujah”. Other real life Eurovision acts this parodies include Eledrine of Georgia in 2011 (mixed gender metal act), Minus One of Cyprus in 2016 (heavy rock with a poppy feel and lupine imagery) and Belarus’ 2016 entry Alexander Ivanov (with the lupine imagery). Belarus, prior to the 2020 protests (which led to the government imposing an entry contrary to ESC rules, rather than the audition process as seen beforehand, and led to Belarus being eventually banned from competing) have also often had novelty acts auditioning for their selections in real life.
