The Asteroids Galaxy Tour
L'aventure Asteroids Galaxy Tour a débuté en été 2007, avec la rencontre de Lars et Mette. Ils passèrent l'été dans le home studio de Lars, à créer des compositions acidulées, libertaires et aventureuses. Jusqu'à devenir un collectif de 6 personnes, un collectif de création azymutée...
In summer 2007, Lars met up with former band mate and singer Mette to play her some demos. She went home with a CD and returned the day after with lots of ideas of her own. The pair immediately set to work, spending last summer practically living, recording, eating, composing and sleeping in Lars s self-built studio in his one room flat in Copenhagen. Every night after a hard day s work, they would end up drunk on Lars s balcony until early morning.
Mette has an incredible, quirky, unschooled voice that s so strange, compelling and cool, says Lars. It s her voice I have in my head when I write every song. She is a great inspiration and the longer we re together, the more the music becomes a collaborative effort. If I present her with a song she always adds brilliant ideas of her own, or sings it in a way I hadn t expected, taking the song to a new level.
What the songs have in common is a sense of adventure and a feeling of freedom you rarely find in pop music anymore. The sounds of different decades rub shoulders as though they have always partied together and there is a genuine warmth that comes partly from friends making music purely for the love of it and partly from Lars s vintage recording equipment.
Mette and Lars are the core of The Asteroids Galaxy Tour, but live, the band grows to a six-piece. Included are a fully fledged horn section of trumpet and sax players, clavinet sounds, a drummer and guitarist. They insist they are neither a duo nor a band. Think of them as more of a collective - a group of dedicated friends with similar minds and dreams.
Finally, about that name... I stole it from Miloud, our Moroccan trumpet player, who runs a hippy jewellery shop when he s not rehearsing with us , laughs Lars. He s a dear friend and a special guy with a brilliant, random mind and a big influence on the band. He came up with the name and I grabbed it. I like it because it sounds like the title of a film or a book, rather than a band name. It s asking you to step in to a story and join us on a journey - a trip in our galaxy . more>>> - Label

GénériQ Festival
Pour sa 4e édition, le festival GéNéRiQ glisse de février à décembre et devient TGV GéNéRiQ avec la SNCF en qualité de partenaire privilégié. Les 2 entités se rejoignent dans un désir commun d’aménagement culturel et de mobilité des publics et des artistes au sein de l’espace métropolitain Rhin Rhône avec l’ouverture en décembre 2011 de la nouvelle ligne à grande vitesse.

Mais le principe et l’esprit, eux restent les mêmes : un festival coopératif qui regroupe depuis 2007 les principaux événements et lieux de diffusion de ce nouvel espace qui s’étend de Mulhouse à Dijon. Le Noumatrouff à Mulhouse, les Eurockéennes et la Poudrière à Belfort, la Vapeur à Dijon, les futures salles du Moloco à Audincourt et de la Rodia à Besançon servent de colonne vertébrale au festival. De là, les concerts investissent les bars et salles mais aussi des lieux plus atypiques : bureaux, appartements, bibliothèques, chapelles…
Electro, pop, hip hop, soul, rock, punk, flamenco, jazz se télescopent en joyeux tumultes musicaux autour d’une programmation résolument débridée qui mêle artistes confirmés et fraîches découvertes. - Styles
