Casiokids have an upcoming release on Moshi Moshi, and have been doing a tour of Norwegian kindergartens (!) as well as performing and touring around Europe. With old analogue and trashy keyboards, pop melodies and a digital + shadow puppet theatre, their shows are always a spectacle, and they were a Pitchfork favorite at the Øya festival (in Oslo) this year.

"My favorite 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 variuos kinds of puppets and video projections, and just generally a sweet and crazy party vibe." (Pitchfork)

"Rock N Roll circus? Nah - Casiokids know that electro-funk shadow theatre is really where it's at." (BBC)
