Their 2010 performance went viral and now the group with the Epic Sax Guy return to Eurovision.

Return of the sax - Sunstroke Project and that Epic Sax Guy are back. Having previously represented Moldova at the 2010 grand final, the trio became a YouTube phenomenon due to thrusting saxophonist Sergey Stepanov.

Fast forward to 2017 and the guys have returned for another shot at glory with their romp “Hey Mamma” proving the standout at the Moldovan national selection competition, O Melodi pentru Europa 2017.

Shades of a terrible '90s US sex-comedy ripple through “Hey Mamma”, in which vocals and violin accompany a heavy sax riff. With the boys promising to deliver a “small wedding” on stage, a trip to the grand final altar is not out of the question.
