On October 19 Under the Radar will host a free CMJ day party sponsored by PRS Guitars. Leading up to the event we’re letting you know about each artist playing. Today we’re spotlighting Casiokids.

In a previous post we gave you the basic party details of the party: The party happens from 12:30-5:40 at Public Assembly (70 North 6th Street) and is free and open to the public (21+), no badges or RSVP required. The event features performances from Eleanor Friedberger, Still Corners, The Stepkids, Porcelain Raft, Casiokids, and Chad Valley. Come early, Keds is giving away 10 pairs of shoes, and PRS Guitars is giving away a custom Under the Radar logo guitar and Sweet 16 amp. MotormouthMedia is also a sponsor.

Casiokids’ fun-loving tunes feel ripped from childhood, all videogame beats and big smiles. The Norwegian collective puts on a high-octane show as well—displaying the kind of energy most of us can only aspire to after several cups of coffee. Stream their sophomore album here, check out our recent chat with the band here (and a classic interview here), or indulge in the video for single “Finn Bikkjen!” and an MP3 for “Golden Years”—both located below.
