KIDZ IN SPACE Press Release:


















ACCLAIMED INTER-GALACTICAL POP VISIONARIES KIDZ IN SPACE ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM ‘GHOST’ DUE FOR RELEASE ON MAY 30, 2011;

NEW SINGLE “ON THE ROAD” HITS THE AIRWAVES NEXT WEEK!


When we last caught up with the intrepid inter-galactical pop visionaries KIDZ IN SPACE it was some time ago. The trio of Josh Fountain, Ashley Hughes and Matt Neshat landed on earth in early 2009 after a chance encounter somewhere beyond the edge of this galaxy, and after discovery a mutual interest in hooks, lasers and digital drums they vowed to fuse their talents in music.

That fusion of talent resulted in the Top 20 hit ‘Downtime’ which infiltrated the charts and the Nation’s consciousness, and was quickly followed up by the ‘Lose My Cool’ collection and the futuristic title track ‘Ghost’ featuring the UK’s Dan Black.

The album GHOST marks vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Josh Fountain’s outing as Producer, and showcases the groups progression - from the moody ‘Lost In Space’ opener, to the deadpan narration of ‘Number 1’, to punchy dance anthem ‘Downtime’.

In the lead-up to their highly anticipated debut album GHOST, KIDZ IN SPACE are proud to announce the release of brand new single ‘On The Road’, hitting radio from Monday 28 March. ‘On The Road’ has the Kidz in a laid back mood with melodic vocals and their trademark catchy hook.
