I know that when you read my blog you can see that I am more a Rock Chick than a Disco Queen but I was born at the very beginning of the 80s so I grew up with the sound coming from the synthesizers and the videoclips full of colours.
2 years ago, I went to the cinema with my friend to see the movie "Tamara Drewe" , if you saw this movie, you know that there is a band called Swipe in this movie . After seeing this movie I couldn't stop singing one of the song call "Where are you now", I bought the songs and after few days, I needed to know who was the other members of Swipe ( The drummer is one of the important characters of the movie, played by Dominic Cooper ). Then I realised that those songs has been written by Dominic and his brother Nathan who is at the Keyboard for Swipe!!! I needed to find out more about his own skills and finally discovered his solo project Kid Kasio.
So Kid Kasio is Nathan Cooper who was before in the band The Modern (now know as Matinée Club) , and before again in other few little bands. He left that band to live his dream and become Kid Kasio.
If you love the sound that we used to hear in the 80s then you must love Kid Kasio music. If you like Duran Duran, A-ha, Depeche Mode, Hurts, La Roux, Mirrors, then you MUST love Kid Kasio! His music is full of synthesizers and robot voices, you can listen to one song without feelings your legs tickling and your feet moving in rythm. Personnaly I feel like I want to jump into my trainers and put my pink cap and t-shirt on and sing!
His first album, KASIOTONE, has been released at the end of January and is avalaible on Itunes , amazon , Emusic, Nokia, Tesco, and if you want a cd, just ask him!
You can find Kid Kasio on his Official Website , his Facebook , Twitter , Myspace , SoundCloud , Youtube
