CASIO KIDS: FINN BIKKJEN
Discosalt Video of the Week 5/16/10: Casio kids are a bunch of misfit Norwegian musicians who churn out bouncy carefree 80’s influenced pop with a childish naivity that is impossible to feel bad listening to. Drawing on afro-beat, techno and out-and-out pop, the band draws similarities from Paul Simon’s “Graceland”, Ivor Cutler, New Order, King Tubby, Bob Hund, Cornelius and Fela Kuti.
The new video for “Finn Bikkjen” (Find Dogs!),directed by Greg Taylor is a dream sequence about a man’s search for his dog that features some fuzzy-eared, neon hoodie-clad and white puppet faced dancer. A strange, joyous and unique video that compliments the bands sound and will leave you day dreaming all day. Casio kids is bringing their live show to music festivals throughout Europe this summer, but will return to the US for a national tour in August. Dates to be announced shortly.
