Dirty Data Dancing

"We just want to make people do the dirty! The dirty dancing!" - DATAROCK

The Norwegian band Datarock isn't new to the music biz, but their current hit "Fa-Fa-Fa" has whirled them out into the open. If you haven't heard it yet, just wait. You'll catch it on new advertisements from Coca-Cola as well as in the video games NHL 08, FIFA 08 and NBA Live 08.

Their debut album was released in 2005, but not here in North America until June of this year. The dance-punk band has 13 tracks on their self-titled disc all guaranteed to make you dance around. Most have catchy beats that are likely to get stuck in your head, too. "I Used to Dance with my Daddy" immediately caught my attention.

Fredrik Saroea and Ket-Ill- make up the duo. They've been super busy, too, last month performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and next month they'll be in LA for a show. They've been running a small tour here in North America opening for the Kaiser Chiefs.

Taken from the band's bio on their website, I found this little tidbit interesting: "In Norwegian, you would call a computer a 'data machine,'" Saroea explains. "So in the beginning, Datarock was making fun of all the rock people that thought electronic music was simply computer-generated music. But in English, 'data' means information, which is even more appropriate because Datarock is essentially the product of 30 years of the information society. But for some reason, we're constantly going back to the years between 1977 and 1982."
