When we last caught up with the intrepid inter-galactical pop visionaries Kidz in Space it was some time ago. The trio had 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.
Within six months their first creation Episode 001: Chasing Hayley had been conceived, honed and released. They had sensed that Planet Earth was a location likely to be receptive to their astral synthesisers and futuristic rap. That intuition was proven correct when the single ‘Downtime’ managed to infiltrate the top 20 charts of their new home territory, New Zealand, an isolated island nation where their activities were less likely to be detected by the agencies tasked with thwarting their sound. That single has since gone Gold, and also featured on the Michael Jordan NBA 2K11 game.
Downtime debuted in the Official New Zealand Top 40 Singles on 7 September 2009. It has been in the Top 40 Singles for 13 weeks with a highest position of #20. There is one song by Kidz In Space in the Top 40 Singles.
