Release Notes:
Old analogue and trashy keyboards, pop melodies and a digital
& shadow puppet theatre make up the Norwegian electro-troupe
that is Casiokids. The band sprung out of an idea of making
electronic music more visual, but has developed further into
being a collective of theatre blended with pop melodies often
sung in their native language and influenced by afro-beat,
techno and out-and-out pop. The music draws similarities and
takes inspiration from Paul Simon's "Graceland", Ivor Cutler,
New Order, King Tubby, Bob Hund, Cornelius and Fela Kuti.
October 27 2008 saw the historic release of the first ever
Norwegian language pop single in the UK. Refusing to accept
the notion of b-sides, Casiokids released the Double A sided
single Gront lys i alle ledd/Togens hule on Moshi Moshi
Records. The band became the latest in a select band of
artists to have released through Moshi's Singles Club
including names such as Late of the Pier, Lykke Li, Florence
and The Machine and Kate Nash. The success of the first single
will now be followed up by the second in a series of singles
the band plan to release in 2009. Verdens storste land/Fot i
hose will be released on Moshi Moshi on March 2nd 2009 and
will be accompanied by intense touring activity including a
European tour as support for Of Montreal in January, a
headlining UK tour in March and confirmed appearances at
Eurosonic and South By South West to mention just a few of the
highlights.
