Good news for the Casiokids camp! You know that band a-ha? You know em..."Take On Me?" Well, a-ha decided to throw a MEGA contest, giving 4 Norwegian bands the chance to win about 1 million kroner (roughly $160,000) plus a chance to open up for a-ha during their farewell tour. Guess who was one of the winners? CASIOKIDS! You can read more about it in this article on Exclaim!
We're VERY excited about this because it means the band will be able to record more great albums, plus travel to America more frequently. Due to such an amazing opportunity, Casiokids have been forced to cancel a few of their US shows that were planned for late August in order to open for a-ha in Norway. But don't worry, they'll be back soon! Check out the updated schedule below.
