Norwegian dance rockers Datarock are playing in L.A. tonight (at the Troubadour) and that’s the perfect excuse to share this ‘re-make’ that Metal on Metal sent us last month of the Datarock tune, ‘I Used to Dance with My Daddy’. I’ve played it dozens of times and knew I had to post it sooner or later. Then again, the source material is down right amazing on it’s own. You can stream Datarock’s entire album, as well as purchase digital downloads, on their MySpace. If you’re like me and want hard copies, the self-titled album will be for sale June 16th, and you can pre-order via Amazon (they have the Fa-Fa-Fa Remixes collection too). Do it! It’s one of the finest Indie/Electro-Rock records to come out lately.
On to the re-make that’s not on the album:
