One of the favorite groups of my wife and daughter. But, obviously, they are biased.
Group from Rome. Massively popular among all ages. Their concerts are sold out in no time.
The group name is Danish for "moonshine" (bass player Victoria is half Danish/half Italian).
The "Zitti e buoni" song got them well-deserved international fame. The title means "Keep quiet and be good !" (a typical expression of Italian parents to lecture their children to behave). In the chorus Damiano sings "We are nuts, but differently than them".
For the Eurovision Song Contest performance they were required to replace the Italian swear words "coglioni" and "cazzo" of their lyrics by the words "errori" and "cosa". But after being declared winner, they went on stage to perform the their winning song again; this time Damiano sang the uncensored version anyway, LOL.
