and their song, &#8220;The Golden Age&#8221; &#8211; with a pair of aces!  One&#8217;s the Ace of Diamonds the other is the Ace of Clubs.<\/p>\n<p>After hanging out on Facebook for awhile, I hit the bed and turned on the tube.  That beer commercial with the sizzling-hot blonde came on and I went into my &#8220;got to find out who&#8217;s singing that song mode.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>This video contains the song by that blonde, Mette Lindberg and her band &#8220;The Asteroids Galaxy Tour.&#8221;  The song is &#8220;The Golden Age.&#8221;  I&#8217;m old and half\/square and way behind on this one, but nevertheless &#8211; I&#8217;m All In.<\/p>\n<p>I know that the song is at least eighteen-months old and has a track record.  It is as compelling as anything I&#8217;ve ever heard.  It almost has a fifties, girl-singer R&#038;R sound.  But definitely contemporary &#8211; influenced I&#8217;m sure, by Amy Winehouse, who I understand is promoting the band.  There&#8217;s a little bit of Blondie&#8217;s &#8220;Rapture.&#8221; in there somewhere.  Tinkling upright-piano keys, lagging snare and Mette&#8217;s little-girl voice start the tune, after Ms Lindberg swings a slender hip in &#8211; in-sync with the first snare hit.  At the chorus her voice is doubled with one of the tracks a few clicks behind the beat creating a heavy echo, or they simply used an echo-effect, whatever.  Clean, tasty punctuating horns end the chorus, then the little-girl voice returns with another magnetic verse.  The second chorus is loaded with the rising horns punching on 2 and 4 and a flute weaving an improvisation.  Guys (or gals,) if you don&#8217;t want to cuddle with this girl you&#8217;re dead and ain&#8217;t coming back. <\/p>\n<p>The video showcases Mette, in a little black sequined dress (looking a bit like, Catherine Deneuvre,) with the band &#8211; performing in an arched ballroom at a Golden Age formal, house-party.  Guests in dinner-wear are mingling in the up-scale mansion as a martial-artist does his thing, and someone scores two points dropping a basketball in a hoop which just happens to be set up in the fancy ballroom.  Luscious scenery\/sets\/costumes.<\/p>\n<p>The chorus is a very sharp hook and it stuck me.  I&#8217;m stuck as well on Mette Lindberg.<br \/>\nIs this song already a hit or was it ever?  Cuz, if it isn&#8217;t it should be.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DIG THIS VERSE: &#8220;rambling down the boulevard with a fire burning in a wooden heart.&#8221; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From Wikipedia:<br \/>\n&#8220;The Asteroids Galaxy Tour are a Danish alternative pop band consisting of vocalist Mette Lindberg and producer Lars Iversen. When performing live the band extends to a six-piece with horn section, featuring Miloud Carl Sabri (trumpet), Sven Meinild (saxophone), Mads Brinch Nielsen (guitar), and Rasmus Valldorf (drums).[1] Lars Iversen is the primary songwriter and producer. Formed in 2008, the band is based in Copenhagen, Denmark.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Their debut single, &#8220;The Sun Ain&#8217;t Shining No More&#8221;, was released on September 15, 2008 on their own &#8216;Small Giants&#8217; label. The band is perhaps best known for their single &#8220;Around the Bend&#8221;, which was used in an Apple iPod Touch commercial starting in September 2008, and was released as a single in December 2008.<br \/>\n&#8220;Myer, Australia&#8217;s largest department store chain, used the song &#8220;The Golden Age&#8221; to launch their 2009 summer range, and SBS Television used the song &#8220;The Golden Age&#8221; to promote the US television series Mad Men. &#8216;Around The Bend&#8217; is featured in the Anna Wintour documentary movie, &#8216;The September Issue&#8217; released in 2009. In late 2008, three songs by the band were featured on the Gossip Girl episode &#8220;It&#8217;s a Wonderful Lie.&#8221; &#8216;Around the Bend&#8217; was also featured in the NBC TV series Chuck in episode 209 when Chuck walks into the &#8216;Roark Expo&#8217; for his first day at work at &#8216;Roark Instruments.'&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Mette Lindberg was a guest on the BBC music quiz show Never Mind the Buzzcocks in November 2008.[2] More recently the band were guests on the Danish morning TV show &#8216;Good Morning Denmark&#8217;. They have also guested on top French music show &#8216;Taratata&#8217; where they first performed the track &#8216;Inner City Blues&#8217;, a cover of the Marvin Gaye classic, which later became a favourite of their live shows.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;The Asteroids Galaxy Tour&#8217;s debut album &#8216;Fruit&#8217; was released on September 21, 2009 in Europe, and Oct 27 in the US.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;The Sun Ain&#8217;t Shining No More&#8221; has been chosen as the theme song of the Canadian action comedy television series Insecurity that premiered on January 4, 2011.&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Asteroids_Galaxy_Tour\">more from Wiki&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/g9R8oHzHOmY\">Interview with Mette Lindberg on YouTube.<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lasvegasbuffetclub.com\/blog\/\">Top of the LasVegasBuffetClub&#8217;s Blog<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lasvegasbuffetclub.com\/\">Visit the main pages of The LasVegasBuffetClub.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The Asteroids Galaxy Tour are a Danish alternative pop band consisting of vocalist Mette Lindberg and producer Lars Iversen.
