The Asteroids Galaxy Tour are musicians on a mission dedicated to turning pop technicolour, making funk get down with folk and mixing old soul with psychedelia and spaced-out beats.

Formed just over a year ago, the band are heading for fame at a speed even they didn't expect. After a high profile support slot thrust them into the limelight, a demo soon found its way to London and into the hands of David Enthoven and Tim Clark, who have managed the careers of T-Rex, Roxy Music and Robbie Williams. Within half an hour of hearing it, Enthoven was on the phone to band founder Lars Iversen. Within days, he was on his way to Copenhagen to thrash out a deal.

Finally, about that name...
"I stole it from Miloud, our Moroccan trumpet player, who runs a hippy jewellery shop when hes not rehearsing with us", laughs Lars. "He's a dear friend and a special guy with a brilliant, random mind and a big influence on the band. He came up with the name and I grabbed it. I like it because it sounds like the title of a film or a book, rather than a band name. It's asking you to step in to a story and join us on a journey - a trip in our galaxy."

Their debut album Fruit will be released in September 2009.
