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 last summer.

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 across Europe for festivals and club shows.
