The Asteroids Galaxy Tour
Oct 31, 2011
The Asteroids Galaxy Tour is a psychedelic pop band which formed in 2007 in Copenhagen, Denmark. The band consists of Mette Lindberg (vocals), Lars Iversen (bass, keys), Mikkel Baltser Dørig (guitar, keys), Miloud Carl Sabri (trumpet, keys) and Rasmus Valldorf (drums). Their debut album, Fruit was released in 2009 on their own Small Giants label.
The band was first put on the map when its song "Around The Bend" was featured in a popular iPod Touch ad in 2008, launching The Asteroids Galaxy Tour's career worldwide. Additional tracks from the band's debut album Fruit also appeared on hit television shows such as Gossip Girl, Vampire Diaries and CSI: Miami. Most recently, The Asteroids' last single "The Golden Age" was chosen by Heineken for use in a global 2011 campaign. The commercial features more than just the song itself-it showcases frontwoman Mette Lindberg belting out the tune in her own captivating way, giving viewers a taste of what it's like to see the high-energy band live.
The band is now gearing up to release its second album, Out Of Frequency, on January 31, 2012 on Small Giants via BMG Rights. Brandishing a signature sound that combines indie-pop with neo-psychedelia, dance and retro-futuristic soul, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour never fail to produce addictive tunes. They deliver yet another unforgettable anthem with "Heart Attack" with its instantly memorable melody and a caffeinated beat guaranteed to invade dance floors. The slinky "Major" will seduce you with its 70's blaxploitation-esque horn stabs and edgy vocals that are the perfect balance of commanding and sweet. Title track "Out Of Frequency" highlights the soulful side of the band with its smoky nostalgic atmosphere and "Fantasy Friend Forever" has all the elements of an ecstatic psych-pop explosion with its thumpin' beat and addictive hooks, making it nearly impossible for listeners not to get out of their seats.
