Speaking with Songfacts in an interview, Iversen explained how the song got in the Apple commercial: "We have this company working for us in the States called Synch, and they got in touch with Apple. I think they had this meeting with Steve Jobs himself, and he picked that song out of the bunch and said, 'This is it, this is the new track for the iPod Touch.' Apparently he just loved that track, but we never saw it as one of our singles. We have some other songs that we thought would be great singles, and that would work cool on for the radio, but he really loved that song."
The Asteroids reached instant global exposure when their song Around The Bend was featured in an Apple iPod Touch advert in late 2008. Their music also appeared in US hit TV series Gossip Girl, CSI Miami as well as Chuck.
Around The Bend was also chosen as one of the key tracks to the R.J. Cuttler documentary "The September Issue", based on Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
Their song The Golden Age is featured in the latest Heineken advert The Entrance from 2011.
Their first show ever was as opening act for Amy Winehouse in their local Copenhagen and Katy Perry chose The Asteroids as opener for her European tour summer of 2009.
The band spend most of 2009 touring all around Europe and the US with their six piece live band which includes trumpet, saxophone, drums, guitar, keys, bass and more...
The press says:
Addictive quirky soulful Pop Music with attitude,
sweeping musical arrangements with one of the hippest vocals around, Known for their infectious live shows, shiny, shimmering, upbeat pop, albeit with a horn-infused, slightly psychadelic edge, C-walking, up rockin’ leg-splitting and hip-shaking their way through, infusion sound like no other,
effervescent music that reminds you of a dozen glorious summerskaleidoscopic monster, bubbly and hypnotic...
At the moment they are busy recording new material for future releases and getting ready for playing their "FRUIT" spring/summer tour around the world for festivals and club shows.

Heart Attack
The Asteroids Galaxy Tour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just to see your face before I die
I don't care if all the lights are red
I've got a wild horse running right through my head
Well jeez Louise now don't you stop
'Cause I'm not half way through of having enough
You and me until we drop
Come on take-me-to-the-top
You got me head over heels on gasoline
You know how it feels like nicotine
Head over heels go raise your flag
Come on Bang Bang Bang give me heart attack
Heart attack
Burning down the wheels tonight
Hey! Are you ready
Burning down the wheels tonight
Hey! Are you ready
Burning down the wheels tonight
Hey! Hey! You ready
Burning down the wheels tonight
My man knows what it's all about
He will shoot me first then ask me out
It was meant to be right from the start
Yeah he carved his name into my heart
Well jeez Louise a love roulette
Yeah we got good times rolling in a red corvette
You and me in silhouette
We're gonna hip shake escape
Do the things we never dared
You got me head over heels on gasoline
You know how it feels like nicotine
Head over heels go raise your flag
Come on Bang Bang Bang give me heart attack

You got me head over heels on gasoline
You know how it feels like nicotine
Head over heels go raise your flag
Come on Bang Bang Bang give me heart attack
