Casiokids and The New Wine to play US Øya Fest showcases

As with last year, Norway's Øya Festival is teaming up with Oh My Rockness to send over a couple bands to play showcases in NYC and at SXSW. This year's picks are Casiokids and The New Wine and the shows are as follows:

03/16 - Bell House, NYC w/Anamanaguchi, Kittens Ablaze
03/19 - Habana Annex Backyard, Austin (SXSW) w/Max Tundra, Wavves, more

Both acts are also playing a bunch of other showcases at SXSW, so keep your eyes peeled.

Absolutely horrid. This sounds like a bunch of white-boy trustafarians got together in their dorm room, dug out a bong and started playing with the fancy synthesizers mom and dad bought them. Kinda like the worst possible parts of Pink Floyd vocals (with a heavy Finnish accent) backed by some annoying jam-band.
