The Asteroids Galaxy Tour



Today on You got Booned... More happy music. yeah I know It's gonna happen all week people... I just got a 4 day extension on my project at work. I'm pretty less stressed so I'm ready for the happy music. Now you all know Denmark's The Asteroids Galaxy tour. You might not know you know them but you do. If not by name, but you definitely know the music. "Around the Bend" was featured in an itunes commercial. Yep. Told you.

So back in 2007 the band started with Lars Iverson and Mette Lindberg, with Lars doing the production and the songwriting and Mette doing the singing. They did some songs with all the music done on Lars' computer, and somehow it got around to Amy Winehouse, back when Amy was a big deal and not skeletor with implants and a crack pipe. Amy asked them to go on tour, and so they decided it was best to have a band so they called up their buds, practiced for like 20 minutes before doing their first show ever as a band opening for Amy.

Their debut album Fruit was finally released in September of 09 and they are currently on tour in Europe and quietly recording a new EP. but until we can scrape up some of the new stuff, here's some of the old. I included "Satellite" because it totally sounds like Len, Gorillaz and the Cardigans got together and made a song. Mette sounds a lot like Nina Persson sometimes. "Sun Ain't shining no more" was their first single... and it sounds like it belonged in a James Bond movie from the 60s... right up my alley... so I gave ya the video for that one.
