A New York band that made danceable songs with emotional weight in the lyrics.
For a good sense of their sound, 'Secret Lover' and 'Alone In The Dark' show that danceable electro-pop with emotional lyrics.
Kasino's music worked because it was straightforward enough for radio but never felt weightless. Songs like 'Secret Lover' had that danceable electro-pop feel with soulful touches in Barry Manilow's vocals. Their 2003 debut 'Love in Stereo' and the single 'Can't Get Over' got them some early attention.
Kasino formed in New York City around 2001, with Barry Manilow on vocals and Kevin Anderson producing. They released albums like 'Another Page' and 'The Heart of Kasino' over the next few years, then dealt with a legal dispute in 2007 and guitarist Michael James' death in 2010.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
