Casiokids is a Norwegian electro-pop band that first captured the attention of music enthusiasts with their innovative and playful approach to the genre. Founded in Bergen, Norway, in 2005, the band is known for its energetic live performances and its use of analog synthesizers, with a sound that often pays homage to the quintessential pop and electronic music of the 1980s. Their name, a nod to the iconic Casio keyboards, reflects their penchant for quirky, electronic sounds and childlike enthusiasm for music-making.

Casiokids came into the international spotlight with albums such as "Topp Stemning På Local Bar" and "Aabenbaringen Over Aaskammen," the latter translating to "The Revelation Over the Mountain" in English. The band's music features lyrics in both Norwegian and English, and they've been praised for their vibrant live shows that integrate shadow puppetry and video projections, adding a distinct visual dimension to their performances. Tracks like "Fot i Hose", "En Vill Hest", and "Det Haster!" demonstrate their ability to produce catchy melodies that encapsulate the playful spirit of indie pop while still pushing the boundaries of the genre. Throughout their career, Casiokids have established themselves not only as musicians but as multi-disciplinary artists with a unique and captivating approach to the audio-visual experience.
