We are in galaxy, Ooo oooh! The Asteroids Galaxy Tour (Mette Lindberg, Lars Iversen) from Denmark 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.

Φτιάξε με!
Νομίζω τελικά πως οι Fischerspooner έχουν μνήμη χρυσόψαρου. Ξεχνούν π.χ. να βγάζουν άλμπουμ -μόλις 2 έβγαλαν (#1, Odyssey) μέσα σε 8 χρόνια (καλά μη βαράς, υπάρχουν και οι Portishead). Ξεχνούν να βάλουν ρούχα – τσίτσιδος εμφανίστηκε ο Warren Fischer στο Synch (2007) με την δικαιολογία ότι έχασε τις βαλίτσες στο αεροδρόμιο (σε πίστεψα). Ξέχνουν επίσης το laptop στη πρίζα και τα ραντεβού τους (δεν έχω τίποτα μαζί σου, αλλά δεν μ’ αρέσει να με στήνουν). Τι να πω; Εύχομαι να μην ξεχάσουν να βάλουν κανά beat στο νέο album Entertainment (τα βρόντηξαν με την δισκογραφική τους εταιρία και το κυκλοφορούν μόνοι τους-και καλά κάνουν) γιατί κι εγώ θα ξεχάσω να το ακούσω…
[Fischerspooner third album, Entertainment, produced by Jeff Saltzman (The Killers, The Black Keys, The Sounds), will be released on May 4th 2009, on their own FS Studios label]
