DataRock



Live at Amoeba in Hollywood 2008

Datarock mans Rock on Computer according to the Norweign band.Which would describe their electro touch =]]]... The year 2005 they had release a song that I would hear at hipster bars and Indie 103.1 when it was still on air, but now you can catch it online at indie1031.com. The single i'm talking about is called "Fa Fa Fa". It's really catchy up tempo dance song =]]].


So I want to make sure that you Readers out there are inform that even when you don't have cash to go to concerts, that their is venues out there that let you see shows for free. For instance AMOEBA is a venue where I got to see "DataRock " there for FREE! They have an Amoeba Records Store in Hollywood, San Francisco, and Berkely. So readers definitely check out the website for more info.


So when I went to go see Datarock I was very excited to see them up close. I remember the band wearing matching red jumpsuits which totally remind me of the 80s band "Devo". I thought to myself I hope they give a good fun show as fun as they look..They did alright , you can feel the playfulness in their music. I'm a big fan of dancing and they lived up to my expectations. That's the reason why I like electro music...But even if I didn't see Datarock for free, I would totally pay for them =]]]


Datarock formed in 2000 in bergen, Norway. When Datarock started they had 4 band members , now it's 2 left. According to Wikipedia sources Datarock was hitting worldwide in the U.K before the states. Datarock's few inspirations are Devo, Talking Heads, and happy Mondays..etc

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE


COACHELLA 2007

Where do I start like c'mon people it's RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE =]]]] It feels like it was yesterday when I heard Rage Against The Machine for the first time . It was the year of 1996 and at the time they stood out in their own set of style , compared to the bands from the 90s. You really didn't have that many rock bands in the 90s were their vocalist is freestylin' in the songs.

I was listening to them for a few years until 2000 where Rage Against The Machine announced they are breaking up, I was definitely sad about the whole situation BUT in 2007 they came together for the first time on stage at COACHELLA. So I got my ticket that day lmao! I just had too and boy was it WORTH IT!

I was totally moshing in the pits , getting footage, making friends... Oh man can you say GOOD TIMES! They interacted with the crowd and improvised on songs..Hearing Rage Against The Machine Live was giving my veins goosebumps. They did an amazing encore, man worth they worth every dollar and every minute.


Rage Against The Machine formed in 1991 in the city of Los Angeles. They won grammys and sold over 14 million albums. In 1997 Rage joined forces with Wu-tang for a summer tour to support political causes.
