Putting a 21st century spin on the hip late-'60s world of <a href="spotify:artist:35y7CZMg7jbG8Q96JY7dyC">Burt Bacharach</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:66XuLc224VwkhDVuPMZL9c">Sly Stone</a>, and Barbarella, Denmark's the Asteroids Galaxy Tour had barely let their demo out into the world before fame came calling thanks to <a href="spotify:artist:6Q192DXotxtaysaqNPy5yR">Amy Winehouse</a> and the iPod family. Multi-instrumentalist Lars Iversen and vocalist Mette Lindberg formed the Asteroids in 2007. Thanks to a freshly pressed demo landing in the right hands, their debut gig was an opening slot at the request of <a href="spotify:artist:6Q192DXotxtaysaqNPy5yR">Winehouse</a> when the superstar singer visited the duo's hometown of Copenhagen. Soon after they were signed to major-label Universal, which released their debut single, "The Sun Ain't Shining No More," in 2008. As the Asteroids were preparing their debut album and expanding their live lineup to a six-piece, their <a href="spotify:artist:3gdbcIdNypBsYNu3iiCjtN">B-52's</a>-flavored, retro-party single was featured in a television commercial for Apple's iPod Touch MP3 player. Fruit, which arrived in 2009, included "The Sun Ain't Shining No More" along with other playful tracks; by the time of the band's follow-up, 2012's Out of Frequency, the Asteroids Galaxy Tour had moved in a more expansive, sophisticated direction. They continued to refine their approach on 2014's Bring Us Together, which was released by Hot Bus Records and saw the duo incorporating hip-hop, reggae, P-funk-style funk, and a more straightforward pop into their already happily over-stuffed sound. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi
