Datarock essay

Datarock are a universally famous swing beat band in the traditional style of Yello. They consist of two ferociously handsome human males from a restaurant called the Himalayas situated in Prague's quaint health spa district. They first formed early in the 17th century and have been steadily putting out an album of classic gypsy melodies once a year since then. Except in 1998 when they had a brief sabbatical whilst one of them considered joining a monastery. They write their songs on a Botswanan computer programme called 'Where's The Love Pappy?'. It creates uniquely piquant bleeps, which are integral to their sound and why people love them so much. When recording their "songs" they go out to a meadow near the cottage where they live together and construct a tent out of Clingfilm so as to protect them from the elements whilst they lay down their "love". They roll sausages out of play dough and use these to make percussion sounds on nearby cows. They also use a set of drums. They play their guitar using one hand, as their guitar player is extremely dextrous. It does not contribute to the sound or overall effect but means he can sip a cup of tea whilst playing. They sing down empty toilet roll tubes sometimes even kitchen paper and foil tubes as they feel this adds something to the vocal sound. Although this is a contentious idea which many people say actually detracts from their sound but Dataraock are adamant that without using this technique their music would mean nothing. They wear a stunning set of red tracksuits, which were hand crafted by their tour manager's grandmother using an old knitting style and Peruvian lizard's lips as yarn. Their influences are extremely broad, ranging all the genres and decades. They cite them as being: Bobby Brown. When they play live they encourage the audience to join in with the night's fun. They do this by ordering individual members of the crowd to tight rope walk over guitar strings. This activity has resulted in a number of near fatal injuries so they have since stopped doing this and instead just enter the crowd and tango with them.
