The band currently consists of Mette Lindberg (vocals), Lars Iversen (bass, keys), Mikkel Baltser Dørig (guitar, keys), Miloud Carl Sabri (trumpet, keys) and Rasmus Valldorf (drums). Their debut album, Fruit was released in 2009 on their own Small Giants label. The band's single Around the Bend was featured in an iPod Touch commercial in December 2008.

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.

Hero
The Asteroids Galaxy Tour Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey hero what you do
Ain't gon wait one heart on you
Again and again
Hey hero who are you
Ain't got no hit ain't got no clue
Now give up your name
Let us down
Don't let us down

Gone find a way
Gone find a way
Without you
Though were not the same
No Never the same
Without you
Oohhh

Where are you my friend so true
How come my love gone make you blue
I saw it today
Tell us all your point of view
Tell us a thing we'd never knew
Please tell right a way
Just tell us now
Don't take us down
Gone find a way
Gone find a way
Without you
Though were not the same
No Never the same
Without you
Hey hero what you do?
Ooh

What you do
Mmmm

Overall Meaning

The first verse of The Asteroids Galaxy Tour's song "Hero" seems to be addressed to someone who is supposed to be a hero, but isn't living up to expectations. The lyrics suggest that this person has let down the people who are counting on them by not doing something they were expected to do. This could be interpreted as a call to action, urging the hero to step up and do what needs to be done.

The second verse seems to be asking the hero to explain why they have failed to live up to expectations. The lyrics imply that the person was loved and valued by others, but has somehow lost their way. The request for the hero's "point of view" suggests that there may be some misunderstanding that needs to be cleared up. The repeated refrain of "gone find a way" suggests that there is still hope for the hero to redeem themselves and become the hero that everyone needs.
