Since their incorporation in 2005, Casio Kids have become reknowned for their epic live performances combining old analogue and trashy keyboards, pop melodies and shadow puppet theatre. Musicially, the band claim to draw inspiration from artists as diverse as Paul Simon and New Order.
Having spent the first part of the year supporting Of Montreal on their European tour (on top of Eurosonic and SXSW apperances), Tuesday May 26 sees the Norwegian electro-troupe outfit make their Irish debut in Academy 2. Tickets are on sale now from the usual outlets for €15 but, thanks to MCD, Key Notes has a double pass to give away.
To win, all you have to do is email keynotes[at]cluas[dot]com (removing the [at] and [dot] and replacing them with @ and .) with 'Casio Kids' in the subject line. The competition is open until Friday May 15 when a winner will be drawn at random. As always, Key Notes decision is final.
