   About Casiokids
Photobucket


Old analogue, trashy keyboards and pop melodies make up the Norwegian electro-troupe that is Casiokids. With tunes often sung in their native language and influenced by afro-beat, techno and out-and-out pop, the band 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 Grønt 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 7”s the band plan to release in 2009. Verdens største 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. Third single on Moshi Moshi Finn bikkjen!/Gomurmamma was released august 3rd 2009.

Since their creation in 2005, Casiokids have experienced everything from playing for hundreds of Norwegian youngsters on a 12-date kindergarten tour in Norway to promote their first album, to playing for more or less grown up indie and electro kids all over Europe. They have also made a name for themselves as providers of sound installations and workshops, as well as DJs and have played numerous renowned festivals and venues in Europe and North America including Roskilde Festival (Denmark, 2008), CMJ Music Marathon (New York City, 2008) The Great Escape Festival (Brighton, UK 2008) City Showcase Festival (London, 2008), Luminaire (London, 2008) Sous La Plage Festival (Paris, 2007), La Fleche d'Or (Paris, 2007), Øya Festival (Norway 2006 & 2008), Ekko Festival (Bergen, Norway 2005), NuMusic Festival (Stavanger, Norway 2005 w/ Jamie Lidell, K.Stockhausen, Datarock, Carl Craig++), Les Nuits Secrètes (Aulnoye-Aymeries, France 2008) Elektroni(k) Festival (Rennes, France 2005), La Lune Des Pirates (Amiens, France 2005), La Guinguette Pirate (Paris, 2005), Paradiso (Amsterdam, 2008), Debaser Medis (Stockholm, 2008) and Scandinavia’s biggest and best showcase festival by:Larm (Stavanger 2005 & Oslo 2008) to name just a few.




"(...)The band basically started a party on stage that emanated into the crowd like beams from the sun - warming all of us who presumably swam there. They swapped instruments, pogo jumped around stage and changed cow bell duties every few minutes. Pineapple shakers, multicolored drum sticks and grinning faces convinced the crowd as they played some absolutely brilliant pop songs."
BBC review of concert at Oxegen Ireland July 12 2009 (8/10)

"I always say, if you want some enormously danceable, minimalist Afro-funk and space-disco (with a donk on it), then you need to reach out to beardy Norwegians, for it is only they who are capable of making records as brilliantly lunatic as this. For a start, it's entirely instrumental; for another start, it is propelled along its golden path by the single greatest synth noise in the history of electricity and wires; and, for a third start, it's all over in less than three minutes. Everything lovable about popular music is here and it has a video to accompany it that is both mentally compelling and sort of hilarious. Casiokids: you rule in all sorts of wonderful new ways."
"Fot i hose", Single of the week in the Guardian, February 28, 2009

"A sublimely synthy debut from Scandinavia’s premier poptronica outfit…Casiokids are an absolute necessity (8/10)"
NME review of Grønt lys i alle ledd: November 1, 2008

"My other favourite Norwegian discovery, Casiokids (...) switch styles so much that it’s hard to really pin them down—variables include high, winsome vocals, rubbery 8-bit melodies, dancey backing tracks, slashy post-punk guitars, a multi-media stage show with various kinds of puppets and video projections, and just generally a sweet and crazy party vibe."
Pitchforkmedia.com review of Øya 2008

"The perfect hybrid of Duran Duran, Kings of Leon, Efterklang, Sigur Ros and 2unlimited (6/6)"
GAFFA (Denmark): by:Larm festival, Oslo 2008

"With their haywire melodies and an exuberant stage show featuring massive puppets, video, and shadow theater they combine electro-pop bliss and indie-kid abandon into one ragtag effusion. Junky analog synths bleat and whistle in a long overture; with the introduction of Windsor-knotted guitars, timbales, and Muppety harmonies, it starts resembling a DiskJokke/Vampire Weekend mash-up."
Pitchforkmedia.com review of Togens hule 2008

"Rock’n’roll circus? Nah - Casiokids know that electro-funk shadow theatre is really where it’s at."
BBC, Numusic Festival, Stavanger 2005

Folles Nuits Berbères

7 ans déjà ! La fin d'un cycle et d'une fabuleuse aventure qui a vu se succéder des musiciens et circassiens dans une des ambiances les plus chaleureuses de Paris quand au coeur de l'hiver il est souvent si difficile de trouver un coin de soleil...
Pour cette dernière édition, nous vous convions à un bouquet final féérique grace à une distribution de rêves...

Entre music-hall et cirque, Méziane Azaïche réunit pour le meilleur et pour le fun, des amuseurs, des comédiens, des acrobates, des chanteurs et...deux ânesses accompagnées par un dresseur poétique!

Cela déclenche des rires sains et bien des sensations fortes ! Ce sera le cas avec Yukki Yoyo, qui déboule sur scène en twistant le yoyo, une discipline difficile à réaliser, dont il est le champion absolu. Cette ouverture vers l'Asie se traduit également par l'apparition d'Antoine et Rocco, duettistes doués dans l'art extrêmement acrobatique du mât chinois. La danse occupera une place de choix et le trapèze volera haut avec l’aérienne et planante Jane Allan.
La musique sera assurée par deux valeurs sûres de la chanson maghrébo-universelle. Samira Brahmia, dont la voix limpide accapare l'oreille, la cajole, la console, l'émeut, une artiste de scène à la puissance hors normes.
Et Akli D qui est fort capable de faire se rencontrer des montagnes, ou à défaut de les déplacer. Ses musiques ont

Miller Fresh Sound prezentuje:

4. urodziny HUNGRY HUNGRY MODELS (histeria lubi się powtarzać)
ft.:

DROP THE LIME (Trouble & Bass/NYC)

DRUMS OF DEATH (Greco-Roman/London)

SLAM DUNK & SPOX


Już od czterech lat Hungry Hungry Models wypełniają klubowe parkiety euforią, epifanią i ekstazą. Nie ważne gatunki i podziały – ważne, by wywołać radość i szczęście. Od czterech lat im się to udaje. Histeria lubi się powtarzać.

Z tej okazji szykuje się noc, jakiej Warszawa dawno nie widziała i nie słyszała. W Klubie 55 zawitają szelmowsko przystojny nowojorczyk Drop The Lime, mistrz świata ciężkich basów i lider jednego z najważniejszych elektronicznych labeli XXI wieku – Trouble & Bass, oraz mroczne voodoo z Londynu - Drums Of Death, dobry znajomy Hot Chip (w wytwórni których nagrywa), Peaches (dla której napisał jeden z utworów z jej ostatniej płyty i z którą koncertuje po całym świecie) i Hungry Hungry Models – w lutym dał na ich imprezie show tak szokujące, że grzechem byłoby tego nie przypomnieć w urodzinową noc, a w przededniu wydania jego debiutanckiej płyty.

Obaj łączą didżejskie sety z elementami live actu, obaj w trakcie występów śpiewają – Drop The Lime jak wkur*****y Sinatra, Drums Of Death jak zły brat bliźniak Ozzy’ego.

„Jak Oni Śpiewają” jeszcze nigdy nie było tak ekscytujące.

Obok zagranicznych gości, z jubilatami zagrają przyjaciele z boiska – wrocławscy didżeje nomadyczni z duetu Slam Dunk oraz czarodziej gramofonów i muzycznej produkcji Spox.
Będzie gwiazdorsko, będzie długo i głośno, będzie niesamowicie i niegrzecznie. Lepiej nie mówcie mamom, gdzie idziecie 14 listopada.
