CasiokidsCasiokids proves that an infectious voice, cheap keyboards, and pop melodies can result in good music. The Norwegians cite Paul Simon ,New Order, and Fela Kuti as inspiration and I for one can't argue with that. I do know that they will be doing the SXSW thing this year at several parties. Here's the video to their upcoming single Fot I Hose. Casiokids-Verdens Storste Land [mp3]SXSW

I know the title of the segment is usually "Bands that sound the same" but I couldn't help but see this video and be reminded of another slightly freaky Scandinavian dance-song video I posted a while back and so I thought it deserved a post. Observe:This new one (the first one) is by Norwegian band Casio kids. The one I posted a while back is by Swedish band Peter, Bjorn & John.And once again,

Ei ole ehk üllatus, et proovin siin jõudumööda tutvustada obskuurseid ja põnevaid bände maailma eri paigust ja aeg-ajalt tulen selle ülesandega ka toime. Ning ka see, et mulle väga meeldib avastada pisikesi bände naaber- ja peaaegunaaberriikidest. Jätkub nii ka edaspidi ja täna paiskan oma rohke publiku ette numpsiku bändi Norrast. Casiokids on neil nimeks. Casiokids - Fot i Hose ( youtube ) Video autor on Aslak Helgesen. Jäta meelde. Casiokids - [...]

Because Elie and I are always clamoring to hear more from this band, here's the new music video from the Casiokids [Myspace]: "Fot i Hose". We've featured the song here in the past [CMJ Rewind: Lukestar and Casiokids] so it is always nice to keep talking about someone we like a lot. Hooray [...] [[ This is a content summary only.

Music video for the song: "Fot i Hose" by the norwegian band Casiokids.

Norwegian Casiokids are releasing a series of double A sided 73 vinyl EP's over the course of the year. 'Fot I Hose' is just one of those dance-indie-pop tunes that you cant get out of your head after hearing it for the first time. Lots of European radio play and extensive touring are helping to fuel the buzz. The EP will be released on Moshi Moshi on March 2nd. Casiokids - Fot I Hose
How quick is this... I was only listening to Christian Bale's ridiculous 'I. AM. THE. TALENT.' rant this afternoon, and it seems someone's remixed it up already... http://www.tmz.com/2009/02/02/ bale-went-ballistic/ Some music: New on Moshi Moshi are Casio Kids. Some kind of Norweigan new rave dry hump orgy. CASIO KIDS - FOT I HOSE And even if the snowmen want British jobs for British

We first wrote about The Sunshine Underground (pictured right) a couple of years back , loving their infectious tunes. They've taken a step back from the limelight of late, recording their follow up, which is almost ready thankfully. They've kindly offered us a free MP3 to offer you, which won't be appearing on their new album - to describe it, think Klaxons, but with a northern heart. Download and enjoy.

Its beat (tee) , its meaty and its full of synth lines and Chik Chik Chik (ish) references, its got to be the Casiokids baby! Its their brand new video and we love it! They've just announced a show at SXSW too, as well as a UK tour in March with The Answering Machine/Flashguns.

Sans le cacher, je m'inspire cette semaine de l'édition décembre/janvier du magazine américain Nylon . Un coup de coeur pour n'importe quelle fille voulant être à l'affût des tendances musicales et vestimentaires! Mais ne vous inquiètez pas chers lecteurs masculins, le contenu de ma chronique plaira à tous les sexes! Cependant, je recommande à tous de se procurer l'édition avec, en couverture, Lily Allen. Le magazine déborde d'idées musicales qui rendront sûrement les amateurs de musique heureux. Alors voilà, sans plus tarder, je vous refile le top 10 des groupes norvégiens selon Nylon. Ça vous plaît, ça vous plaît pas? [...]

So here's my list of best singles, album tracks, and EPs from 2008. Unlike my Best Albums List, songs that were from a 2007 album but were released as singles in 2008 are eligible. But single reissues are not. (Which is why Friendly Fires and Pacific are absent from my list.) With the concept of the "album" diminishing in this world of digital downloads, singles are becoming more important. I'm not calling the death knell for the Album, but if groups whose music leans toward the poppy and immediate side of things wanted to just release singles or EPs every [...]

Norway's Casiokids were hands-down the best, most fun show I saw at CMJ this year -- usually it takes Hot Chip to make me dance in public. And I'm glad to report they're coming back to the U.S. in March for SXSW with a stop in NYC along the way. They're playing The Bell House on March 16 as part of an all-Norwegian showcase being currated by the Øya Festival folks. Also on the bill are fellow Bergen-ites The New Wine . Maybe there will be a third added too. [...]

One of my favorite acts when I left Norway's by:Larm was the much ballyhooed Lukestar [Myspace]. The band, led by Truls Heggero (my new favorite front man in the world), were coming to NYC for...

I do understand when people say Cake Shop is the best venue in the city. If you are at the very front of the stage and the band you're watching is is bringing it, it can be an amazing show. I experienced a little Cake Shop Joy on Saturday night watching Norway's Casiokids which was maybe the single funnest show I attended the whole week of CMJ. In Norway, Casiokids' shows involve props, shadow puppets, papier mache heads, streamers and balloons, but judging by this show they don't need [...]
