Toddler-like grins hang on the faces of the five Casiokids; anticipating the gleeful mayhem theyÕre about to unleash on the unsuitable sheen of Edinburgh's Electric Circus with their boa bedecked instruments.

Thankfully the quickening beats of ÔTogens huleÕ instantly turn the venue into a bouncing playground of fun. Thundering drums and incessant cowbells support a swirling menagerie of guitars and bleeps, filling the room with frenetic splendour. With songs wilfully extending into relentless jams, itÕs clear that the Norweigan outfit rely on sheer, unabated energy. The vigour with which ÔGomurmammaÕ is received would have an older crowd in danger of cardiac arrest.

Smiles are checked, only briefly, when security display little enthusiasm for the fervent dancing taking place in their carefully coiffed venue, ejecting two of the more energetic dancers. Undaunted though, Casiokids reinforce their unabashed eccentricity with a punchy cover of Ivor Cutler's 'Darling'. The crowd hardly seem to notice the Scottish nod, but dance on in delight regardless. As the rhythm section swells to three for the thumping climax of 'Fot i hose', grins, long since fledged into beaming smiles, threaten to lift off faces. A Casiokids gig is the 7th birthday party you never had.
