Biography

The Space Chums Music Show

Think “They Might Be Giants”, “The Bee Gees” and “The Muppet Show” inside a Large Hadron Collider. Their first album, “Blast Off!” in 2011 was an eclectic mix of songs about life in space and their new adventures on earth. It quickly won them a dedicated fan base and has worn out the CD player on many a car trip. They’ve played lots of great gigs on the planet – highlights include: Field Trip, Fort York; Hillside Festival, Guelph; Kids POP, POP Montreal; Harbourfront Kids Circus Fest, AGO’s del Toro Monster Bash; Burlington Sound of Music Festival and Sick Kids TV. The release of their second album, “Calling All Space Cadets” in May 2018 reflects the band’s evolution. The songs are fuller, brighter, more ambitious musically and lyrically and, word is, even catchier. The Space Chums are: Cosmic Rock God Nikolai (Ian Goodtimes). Space Ninja Linda (Lindsay Goodtimes) and Galacto-Fashionista Gussy (Kate Keenan). In another dimension, Kate, Lindsay and Ian met while touring live theatrical productions of animated TV properties worldwide.

The Chums credit all their great experiences on earth, including newfound earthling pals like the amazing Mitch “King Kong” Girio who mixed and produced the album.
Space Chums songs are not your average strummy kid tunes. They’re big, POPtastic rock anthems packed with clever treats to reward the adults listening along. Think “They Might Be Giants”, “The Beastie Boys” and “The Muppet Show” inside a Large Hadron Collider…
