The
arcade sent our writer Sam Primeaux to the Datarock concert Sept. 23 at
Republic New Orleans. He returned with the following:
[From an unmarked tape recovered from the Kremlin by American intelligence operatives in mid-1986]
“Mr. Gorbachev, Comrade Lebedev of the KGB is here to see you concerning the progress of Project Datarock.”
(Papers shuffling)
“Yes, of course, see him in.”
“Chairman Gorbachev, good to see you again.”
“You as well, Comrade. Please, fill me in on the details of this Datarock project.”
“Of course, sir. In the early ’80s, the Politburo became
increasingly concerned about the encroachment of Western culture on the
youth of the USSR. With the rise of MTV
and American popular music, we felt that we should offer a
state-sponsored alternative to the capitalist nonsense seeping in from
the United States. A study was commissioned to create a music group
that would be so ‘cool’ Russian teens would flock proudly to the
new-wave pop of the Motherland.”
“Your findings?”
“Well, using advanced computing algorithms, we have created a band
that maximizes its own ‘coolness’ in every conceivable way. There are
four members, following the template set by the United Kingdom’s
massively successful ‘Beatles’ project. They wear matching jumpsuits
with impressive logos. They will never be caught without sunglasses,
even when playing indoors and late at night. They will be handsome,
have thick chest hair (implying boundless virility) and play matching
wireless, white guitars.”
“I see. What will they sound like?”
“That is largely unimportant. Something danceable. Like, cool Devo.”
“Won’t people dismiss them as tongue in cheek and sort of embarrassing despite their ironic detachment?”
“There is no chance of that.”
“I see. Proceed.”
[Tape ends.]

Words and Photos by Jim "Eggs" BrickerVideo by Zach "Bacon" VernonWe've been quite busy here at BOT, attending show almost nightly for
review. Last week, I managed to see fifteen bands in the matter of 6
days. With the regular shows, late nights and heavy boozing, I find
myself so far behind on reviews that it's not even funny. Hell, I just
managed to upload the past four shows worth of pictures on Flickr
today. With all that said, I finally have some time to start posting
some things, so expect a smattering of reviews on the site in the next
couple days.
Norwegian dance-punks Datarock made their way to the Studio at Warehouse Live
for a funk-filled set, fueled by deep bass, tweaked-out synths and
disco guitar layered with a healthy heaping of porno saxophone. Of the
many bands I've seen this year, Datarock provided one of the most fun
and danceable sets yet. They were my Hot Chip of 2009 – my excuse to
quickly shed the camera, as well as my inhibitions on the dance floor.
For a little over an hour, the red jump-suited quartet treated us to
not-stop boogieing, especially during standouts like "Fa Fa Fa,"
"Dance" and "Computer Camp Love." Their energetic stage persona's took
over from the moment they hit the stage, and lasted late into the night
when they made an appearance (along with Pink's touring band, The Ting
Tings, The Horrors and Crocodiles) at an after-hours party in Warehouse
Live's suave new Green Room. If you feel like dancing your ass off,
don't miss Datarock when they come through your town.
I did manage to take a few good photos in between my white-boy dancing – feel free to check them out after the jump.
