“We
didn’t want to bore people with our private diaries. We wanted to make music
with a truly filmic quality—songs that feature characters that aren’t
necessarily us. Songs with bad guys, heroes, and lovers.”
Lars Iversen

Born in
Copenhagen, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour may be one of the bands of the decade
with a more proper name. In this new post of Shout we explain why.
Mette
Lindberg, a true character from the 80s, and Lars Iversen constitute this
Danish band that mixes alternative pop with psychedelic and indie pop, in
contrast to the majority Scandinavian bands, that seems to be adverse to pop
music.
Although
Lindberg and Iversen constitute de core of this band, they are the firsts to
admit that The Asteroids Galaxy Tour are not, nor have ever been a duo, but a
collective entity of friends, differing slightly from the traditional concept
of “band”. So, to the two already named, is important to add Miloud Carl Sabri
(trumpet), Sven Meinild (sax), Mads Brinch Nielsen (guitar) and Rasmus Valldorf
(drums), accompanying the group in their lives shows.
Why is The
Asteroids Galaxy Tour such an appropriated name for this pop band? The truth is
that this band, strongly influenced by the psychedelic pop, as we already referred,
is able to combine pure pop music from the 80s with a more futuristic element.
In fact, the songs and the videos remember the vision of the future in the 80s,
where cars flied and people lived in Mars. Even the quality of their videos
shows that idea. The result is really happy and catchy songs, for which the
unique voice of Mette Lindberg helps.
Lindberg
and Iversen have been working together for about ten years, however only in 2007
they founded The Asteroids Galaxy Tour, releasing their debut album, “Fruit”, in 2009. For sure you already
know some of their songs, who doesn’t remember the Heineken commercial?
(watch the following video).
Their second
album, “Out of Frequency”, is already
in the stores since January 2012 and does not disappoint the fans, keeping the
same alternative genre of its predecessor.

To conclude
we leave you with the first single, Heart
Attack of their newest album, “Out of
Frequency”.
After some
short holidays we return, in this way, with another Shout band.
Greetings,
Shout
