The Yoko Casionos were a Canadian indie power pop band that was based in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Their band name is a portmanteau of the artist, Yoko Ono, and Casio Keyboards. The band was fronted by sibling band members Misty (guitars/vocals) and Chad Reid (guitars/vocals), along with Juice (drums/vocals), and Kieron Rhys Drake (guitars/vocals). They were signed to Universal Music Canada and released one album in 2006, These Are The New Old Times[1], produced by Todd Simko from the Canadian band Pure (Canadian band). The album produced three Canadian singles; Cameras On, Loose Cannon, and The New Old Times. Throughout 2006 and 2007 they toured with other indie rock bands such as Sloan (band)[2], Mother Mother[3], and The Golden Dogs.
