Quirky, creative and total do-it-yourselfers, Fredrik Saroea and Ketil Mosnes crank out electronica-infused pop rock reminiscent of Devo and the Talking Heads. Their quick-tempo concoctions like "FaFaFa" and "Computer Camp Love" bring that fun, old-school style back, but this time it's twisted with a slight modern-rock edge. Live shows lean toward adventurous, often with tens of people onstage dancing and playing with oversized props. Their debut album, released in 2005 and succinctly titled "Datarock [ tickets ] Datarock," received impressive reviews. --Tara Hall
