\n\tIt\u2019s fair to say the three members of Imagine Dragons<\/a> are over the moon about their new concert film Imagine Dragons: Live From the Hollywood Bowl (with the LA Film Orchestra),<\/em> showing in theaters<\/a> March 26 and 29. The fact that it comes in the wake of the band\u2019s music actually being on<\/em> the moon makes it even better.<\/p>\n \n\tOn March 5, Imagine Dragon\u2019s \u201cChildren of the Sky\u201d \u2014 which the Las Vegas-formed group co-wrote with Inon Zur and others in 2023 for the video game Starfield<\/em> \u2014 was embedded in Athena<\/em>, a ship the space startup Lonestar Data Holdings sent to Earth\u2019s moon. And while music had previously arrived there on other voyages, it marked the first time a song was transmitted back to Earth \u2014 albeit a day later because the Athena<\/em> craft landed on its side, and short of its target, so some adjustments had to be made.<\/p>\n \n\tImagine Dragons\u2019 guitarist Wayne Sermon is still stoked that \u201cChildren of the Sky\u201d skied its way back to its home planet. \u201cI was here, and I was following the mission live on YouTube,\u201d Sermon tells Billboard<\/em> via Zoom from Los Angeles, where he now resides. \u201cI\u2019m very much into space exploration, I\u2019m into anything NASA\u2019s doing. I\u2019m very fascinated with that kind of stuff\u2026It was one of the easiest yeses we had. Things looked a little dicey there for a minute\u2026but (Athena<\/em>) was able to still do a couple of things and one of them happened to be beaming our song.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cWe were happy just to be part of it. It\u2019s a crazy thing. Put it up on the list of things that are just surreal, having your music beamed from the moon. It\u2019s like alright, sure, that sounds reasonable, OK.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSermon says he hasn\u2019t had a chance to flex any bragging rights over the achievement, however. \u201cI haven\u2019t used it once, man. Unbelievable,\u201d he says. \u201cIt hasn\u2019t come up in conversation, casually. Once it does I have an ace in the hole at a dinner party \u2014 \u2018So, how about the moon\u2026?’\u201d<\/p>\n
