Ahead of their performance at Standon Calling Festival next weekend, Casiokids are giving away a free Olympic Games themed track & asking fans to join in their own twitter version of the Olympics, #casiolympics! “Behind the commercials, the celebrity focus, logistical stress and economic issues there is something quite beautiful about the concept of the […]
With more UK live dates on the way, Norway’s Casiokids have announced the release of their next single ‘Dresinen’, out through Moshi Moshi on June 25th. Taken from their debut album ‘Aabenbaringen Over Aaskammen’ which was released earlier this year, also on Moshi Moshi, ‘Dresinen’ has been remixed by Au Revoir Simone’s Annie Hart. The […]
– THE DEAF INSTITUTE, MANCHESTER – When a press release came through a few months ago saying that Casiokids were to play a handful of live dates in the UK, I was to say the least, rather giddy. But giddyness was short lived, as I glanced down the list of towns and cities to be visited […]
With their new LP release ‘Aabenbaringen Over Aaskammen’ out this week on Moshi Moshi Records and their UK headline tour kicking off tomorrow, Norway’s Casiokids have uploaded an acoustic version of new single ‘Golden Years’(out this coming Monday Jan 23rd).

Following the release of their squelchy new burst of synthpop ‘Det Haster!’ (“it’s urgent!”) this week on Moshi Moshi Records, Norway’s CASIOKIDS have revealed a creepy video for the track featuring all manner of teddy bear abuse. The Det Haster! single, which comes backed with a remix of the track by Of Montreal, is taken […]
‘Det Haster!’, roughly translated (by google translator of course) to ‘Urgency’, is particularly apt. Norway’s Casiokids are absolutely amazing live. Fact! They are a blistering, amphetamine ball of electro energy, vibrance and fun. This spectacle has not yet successfully translated onto vinyl. On record the keytarists are a vapid, 2D disappointment. It’s a bit like […]
Ahead of their eagerly anticipated debut full-length UK release, ‘Aabenbaringen Over Aaskammen’ (set for January 2012 on Moshi Moshi Records), Norway’s CASIOKIDS have announced their brand new single ‘Det Haster!’ will be out on October 24th. Backed with a remix by Of Montreal, the single precedes a November UK tour. The original track ‘Det Haster!’ […]
