Read More Yeah, you know the story. I think these guys are great, calling them top for 2008, and to this day, I sometime hear "Around the Bend" at clubs - which is pretty amazing how far the band's come.

The tour is to promote their second album, Out Of Frequency, which comes out on BMG Rights (basically BMG Berlin) on January 31st, 2012.
I did get a chance to preview the album, and it is more or less in that 60's/70's throwback sound (lots of amazing horns with that unique singing style of Mette Lindberg).
If you get your hands on the album, the official song doesn't actually start until "Major", with three songs ("Gold Rush Pt. 1", "Dollars in the Night" and "Gold Rush Pt. 2") acting as an introduction. I love it!
Their single for the album is "Heart Attack", which is one of the danciest song on the new album. The lyrics catchy: "jeez Louise" and "you and me until we drop" and "head over heels on gasoline" and "bang bang bang give me heart attack". Some of the lyrics I feel were written to rhyme with other words, but it doesn't sound silly, or out of place; it just feels natural. If you want to hear the song for yourself, Rolling Stone is offering a free download of CSS's remix of the song.
Anyway, I am loving the album so far, I'll be at 7th Street to see the band:

Yes, I know it's basically a Heineken video, but it's awesome!

I totally agree with you about their album! I've just recently become a fan, and am so glad I came across them. They also have their whole album up for streaming on their site, so you can have another listen to it before it comes out next week :) www.theasteroidsgalaxytour.com
