The Asteroids Galaxy Tour 是誰？他們是一支來自丹麥的新樂隊，主唱Mette Lindberg和貝斯兼創作的Lars Iversen所組成的Psychedelic / Pop 樂隊。他們的單曲 Around the Bend 在08年9月就作為蘋果 iPod Touch 的廣告歌攻佔了大街小巷和人們的耳朵。







Fruit 是 The Asteroids Galaxy Tour 今年4月即將推出的專輯，其中收錄了樂隊的大熱單曲，包括 The Sun Ain't Shining No More 和 Around The Bend。相信他們會憑藉這張專輯和 iPod 的東風在09年迅速竄紅。

February 17, 2009 - Though Fruit, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour's first official LP is not scheduled to be released until May, this Danish group already has an impressive resume in the works. "Around the Bend" has been featured in an ipod touch commercial, a few tracks were on an episode of the CW show Gossip Girl, and the band's first gig was opening for Amy Winehous at Copenhagen's largest music venue.

The Asteroids Galaxy Tour has two chief members: Mette Lindberg and Lars Iversen, but it is not unusual to see this duo swell to a talented and diverse six-piece band when on stage. Lindberg's unique voice is a key component of The Asteroids Galaxy Tour. Sometimes raw and demanding and at other times smooth and suggestive, Lindberg's vocals provides ammunition for the band's feisty, retro-tinged pop songs. Funk, soul, psychedelia, and electro-pop are just a few of the flavors that help diversify Fruit. Recording Fruit with Iversen's vintage equipment also helps solidify this fun, retro sound.






The Asteroids Galaxy Tour to release ‘Fruit’ + US tour dates (SXSW)
2009/2/18

Formed less than a year ago, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour is moving at the speed of light. The band, led by Lars Iversen and Mette Lindberg, created quite a buzz when they came to New York City this past November, heralded (and hosted) by Spin and GBH.TV as one of the hottest new bands from across the pond - thanks to their attention-grabbing 4-track digital EP (3 songs + a remix), ‘Around the Bend’.

Music lovers responded loudly: The band has been embraced by Rolling Stone, Anthem, NYLON, GOOD, AOL and Yahoo! Music, while RCRDLBL premiered an exclusive MP3. Whitney Matheson included “Around the Bend” in her “POP CANDY” podcast for USA TODAY, and URB will feature TAGT in an upcoming issue.

MTVu featured “The Sun Ain’t Shining No More” video in the “Freshman Five” in early December, and the producers of “Gossip Girl” loved the band so much, they used three (!) of the band’s songs in their December 1 episode. Oh, and did we mention that The Asteroids Galaxy Tour’s song “Around the Bend” was hand-picked by Steve Jobs for use in the most recent iPod Touch commercial?

“Trust us, [TAGT] are going to usurp the lauded Peter Bjorn & John mangle of Swedish Musical Domination and rock the world while their at it” - Anthem

“It’s endetarmsabning - which we’re told means ‘rad’” - Rolling Stone

“…handclap party jams so infectious even your parents might like them” - Urban Outfitters Blog

Their debut full-length, ‘Fruit’ swerves left and right with one surprise after another. Each song is a carefully crafted pop gem, guaranteed to get you moving. ‘Passport Approved’, a syndicated tastemaker weekly radio show showed their love for “The Golden Age”, the sixth track on the album, while AM New York says it is, “A blast of vintage soul from Copenhagen…a verifiable sensation.”

Their debut full-length ‘Fruit’ is set for release May 18, 2009 (Small Giants).

TAGT will bring their 6-piece party back to the U.S. in March with the dates below.
