One-off UK show at the LONDON SCALA
APRIL 10th 2012
Multi-legged groove machine THE ASTEROIDS GALAXY TOUR play a one –off London show at the Scala on April 10th.
The achingly cool Danish collective (consisting of core members Mette Lindberg and Lars Iverson) have recently been playing to sell out crowds in the US and Europe and proving themselves to be one of the most unorthodox and uniquely original live bands on the planet. The Asteroids Galaxy Tour’s vision of pop music is a kaleidoscopic, free-wheeling affair—a symphonic collision of big pop hooks, soaring horn sections, retro-synth flourishes, and epic beats. Mette Lindberg belts it out wonderfully live; her powerful voice acts as the greatest instrument in the band’s wall of sound. While dance, pop, funk and lounge elements are prominent elements; there are also some wonderful, blissful moments of electronica and psychedelia.

For Lindberg and Iversen—two friends who have been playing music together for nearly a decade—the band is an always-evolving entity. The two might be the core masterminds behind the band, but they insist that the band is not—nor has it ever been—a duo. The Asteroids Galaxy Tour has become a travelling collective of friends that, much like their music, defies traditional definition. The current touring incarnation of the band includes six people—including two horn players—all of whom have a predilection for swapping instruments at a moment’s notice.
