Datarock just announced additional stops on their World Domination tour. They also posted this rad video, which somehow I missed when it came out last year, but is still awesome coz it has retro-looking film of hot snowboard tricks and puppets that look like Tool video leftovers:I think the reason they just posted it today is because this "rare" clip was recently uploaded, and they seem to hav...
After their performances at a string of major music festivals in the UK and Europe, Datarock heads down under for shows in 3 Australian cities, then switches hemispheres again for shows in North America with Kaiser Chiefs. But the 2 weeks on the road with Kaiser Chiefs will miss many major US stops, so the retro rockers went back to the drawing board to drum up some more tour dates. What they...
Datarock continue their World Domination Tour with a trip Down Under to meet up with other musicians from the future.

Weird Tapes is back after a little hiatus with a killer remix of Datarock's "Give It Up" from their upcoming album Red (out May 9th). And it's this reviewer's opinion that the Weird Tapes dude bests the shit out of the original:[MP3] Datarock - Give It Up (Weird Tapes Version)Yesterday Datarock unveiled the Michael Jackson-esque music video for "Give It Up" -- Check it out here.<-- Datarock --...
You know the red tracksuits, but you haven't heard the Kissy Sell Out remix of "Give It Up" from the Norwegians' aptly titled forthcoming sophomore album Red. Screw subtlety! On it, they tried nailing a late '70s and early '80s rock feel ('76-'83, specifically, "the peak of cultural evolution"), only using equipment made prior to 1983 and replacing inspirations Talking Heads, Devo and Happy Mon...
When Brandon and I first saw Datarock in some small Oslo club for an Øyafestivalen afterparty (Rockefeller's, maybe?), both of us just couldn't get beyond the gimmick of their dance poses and red jumpsuit apparatus. But I mean, obviously. They are a..
Props to IGIF for turning me on to this fab rework of Datarock’s “Give It Up” by Weird Tapes. I’m completely in love with Weird Tapes’ cosmic tape looped synth dream overlay music they put up for free on their website, so it’s nice to hear their remakes of other songs - they kill it [...]
I wrote a while back about Johnossi, a quirky little duo from Sweden. Well, apparently Scandinavia is a hotbed of quirky little duos. Witness Datarock, two guys from Norway who take their sound variously from Devo, Talking Heads and other classic acts of the 70's and 80's. This song - especially the guitar track - is a dead ringer for Talking Heads, circa _Fear of Music_. The same goes for ...
