Sorted Noise produced “Haven’t Even Met Yet”, Kal Hourd’s debut release is being taken on a 16-day mission to the International Space Station by Canadian Space Agency astronaut Julie Payette aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour, which is targeted to launch June 13.
Think of it as a literal record launch.
Ms. Payette, a fan of Kal Hourd, contacted him through his website requesting to take a copy of his album into space with her. The prestige is rare, with the Saskatoon based singer/songwriter now slotted to join the ranks of music legends The Beatles, Chuck Berry, Sarah McLachlin, Taylor Swift and Beethoven, as a select few to have been blasted into space. Kal has also been invited by the Canadian Space Agency to attend the launch at Cape Canaveral, Florida.
In 2007 Kal Hourd received the Rising Star Award at the Saskatchewan Country Music Awards (SCMA), and in January 2008 was invited to showcase his song writing skills and vocal styling at the OnTheVerge Festival in Nashville, Tennessee. This showcase provided the opportunity to record his debut album with the help of producers Thad Beaty and Jason Collum of Sorted Noise. “Haven’t Even Met Yet”, is a creative culmination of many different music styles and influences filled with catchy phrases, great melodies and an unforgettable vocal.
“Haven’t Even Met Yet” can be expected to make its debut in stores mid-August 2009 through E1 Music Canada.
