I Like Music Because heading
  • Master GeeMaster Gee: ilikemusic because... It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.

Casiokids - Grønt lys I alle ledd / Togens hule

27th October 2008 saw the historic release of the first ever Norwegian language pop single in the UK courtesy of Moshi Moshi Records. Refusing to accept the notion of b-sides, Casiokids released the Double A sided single Grønt lys I alle ledd/Togens hule. The band now becomes 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.

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, King Tubby, Bob Hund, Cornelius and Fela Kuti.

With the release of their first UK single, Casiokids seem poised to be the latest in a long line of artists from the celebrated Bergen scene to rattle the cages of jaded UK audiences and industry. Think Røyksöpp, Datarock, Annie, Kings of Convenience and The Whitest Boy Alive and you have some idea of the international potential contained in this rainy city on the west coast of Norway which Casiokids call home. And it seems certain that the band will be spending less and less time there as word spreads about their sensational live shows, indietronic extravaganzas and catchy as hell tunes.
