This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The Yoko Casionos were a Canadian indie power pop band that was based in Vancouver, BC. Their band name is a portmanteau of the artist, Yoko Ono, and Casio Keyboards. The band was fronted by sibling band members Misty Reid (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[1] and released one album in 2006, These Are The New Old Times[1], produced by Todd Simko from the Canadian band Pure (Canadian band). Now (newspaper) stated the album as "exploding with sunshiny hooks, The Cars-inspired keyboard fanfares and popsicle-melting middle-of-July melodies delivered in the form of boy-vs.-girl back-and-forths"[2].The album spawned three Canadian singles; Cameras On, Loose Cannon, and The New Old Times. The music video for Loose Cannon was filmed with the band being sprayed with water while being performing upside down and then flipped right side up to make it appear as if the water was rising from the floor[3][4].
Between 2004 and 2007 the band toured with other indie rock bands such as Ted Leo and the Pharmacists[5], Sloan (band)[2], Mother Mother[6], and The Golden Dogs. In 2006, while on tour in Calgary, Alberta with the band Sloan, guitarist Kieron Rhys Drake was mugged and forced into a van while trying to call his girlfriend from a payphone.[2].
The band was known for organizing and hosting tribute shows in their hometown of Vancouver. Their 2003 David Bowie tribute night (which included performances by members of Limblifter and The Black Halos) was mentioned on David Bowie's website[7].
