    POD Concerts & SHOCK presents...
    DATAROCK + Halfset & Shock DJs
    Wednesday 18th October. Crawdaddy, Harcourt St. D2. Doors 8pm
    *
    Springing to life in Bergen amongst friends such as Röyksopp, Annie and Kings of Convenience and sharing a love of Devo, Talking Heads and the Happy Mondays, Fredrik Saroea and Ketil Mosnes are Datarock.

    They'd been in bands before they met in 1997 (Fredrik played thrash metal; Ketil punk), but they had no intention of playing rock and they didn't own expensive laptops. Instead, they borrowed a ****ty keyboard, which they still use, and began to experiment.??Early Datarock gigs were as they are now - bonkers. Like their heroes Devo, they wanted to put on a performance, but, unlike them, they didn't have swanky equipment or fancy art school backgrounds. So they did what they do best: they called in their friends, improvised, and did everything on the cheap.*

    At 2003's Sonar Festival, where they played a Tellé Records showcase, people were name-checking them on the streets, and all because they'd come across their little CD somewhere down the road. They were greatly amused.

    An EP entitled 'Computer Camp Love' followed in 2003 and sold out quickly. They were touring the world now and finding they had hardcore fans in unusual places. This year has seen them release, Datarock Datarock, on their own label, Young Aspiring Professionals.
    Tickets €12.50 available from Ticketmaster, Road Records, City Discs, Sound Cellar and usual
