This is probably one of the most tenuous links ever on Skyscript so I hope I will be permitted a bit of shameless self induldence here. :lol: I cant resist promoting this Danish band: The Asteroids Galaxy Tour and in particular this track The Golden Age.

The band has come to the attention of a UK audience as their track is the soundtrack for the current Heineken Beer ad here.

The TV version has a lavish nightclub/hotel party setting but this video version focuses on a fantasy galaxy tour around the solar system ( sort of!) . I dont pretend this music is especially deep or profound but it is great to chill to and is a bit addictive. That might have a lot to do with the musical and visual charm of the lead singer Ms Mette Lindberg. :D

Hope you enjoy it.

I imagine the video is better with some 3D glasses!

Well she is undeniably blonde and attractive. A bit skinnier than Debbie Harry I think and certainly no clone physically. However, the band have certainly borrowed from the Blondie set up and 60's psychedelia like the Beatles and Jefferson Airplane. However the Saxophones , trumpet and piano give a rather different retro Jazz like feel on some of their tracks. There is also a dash of Bjork with quirky Scandavian English giving a sound many English speakers find very attractive for some reason. :???:

The extended version of the the Heineken ad 'the entrance' features The Asteroids as the party band and has the most charismatic party guest you could ever meet.
