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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
We're getting ready for the ball tonight
Slowly breaking up the ground
Mud is on our faces when we climb up
Ooh, ooh, yeah

We find each other and we're holding hands
The moon is shining bright in our eyes

Bodies are shaky as we stand up
Ooh, ooh, yeah
We're gonna have a ball tonight

Yeah
We got no reason to be on the run
Still the air is cold and dark
We're gonna rule the world to sunrise
Ooh, ooh, yeah

Our brothers and our sisters they're all here tonight
And love is from the time of light
Walking boogie woogie with our tongues out
Ooh, ooh, yeah
We're gonna have a ball tonight

Put your hands up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up
Put your hands up
Hands up, hands up, yeah
We are the zombies, we got no plan
Got no vision, nothings gonna stop us

We are the zombies, we got no land
Got no vision, nothing's gonna stop us, yeah

We're gonna have the time of our lives
We're gonna have the time of our lives
We're gonna have the time of our lives
We're gonna have the time of our lives

Yeah
It's getting late and the sun will rise
Gonna find our graves in time
Soon we're running crazy and we cry out
Ooh, ooh, yeah

My heart is aching come and hold me tight
A tear is burning in my eye
We're the living dead and feeling live for the first time
Ooh, ooh, yeah
We're gonna have a ball tonight
We're gonna have a ball tonight

We're gonna have a ball tonight
We're gonna have a ball tonight
