The Asteroids Galaxy Tour and Vacationer at 7th Street Entry
Every few years, a Nordic synth-pop artist comes along and sweeps America off its feet—it will always feature a hot blonde, and the songs will always be catchy. From Robyn to The Sounds to The Cardigans, it’s a tradition that dates back to ABBA. This year’s model is The Asteroids Galaxy Tour (though the band has been around for a few years). You’re likely to recognize the group’s songs from commercials—“Around The Bend” was featured on an iPod Touch ad, and the group performs “The Golden Age” in a recent spot for Heineken. (You’ve probably seen it; it’s the one where the guy is made out to be a quasi superhero because he drinks overpriced green beer.) The group’s second album, Out Of Frequency, was just released. If history rings true, songs from the album will most likely be selling you something very soon.
