One of the craziest things i have ever been a part of, DATAROCK - THE MUSICAL.
...oh lord.
A little drumcam snippet from my favourite track of the show, so much fun to play and sooooo much more softer and low key playing (for a change) then on any other DATAROCK show.
About the madness:
On September 6th 2013 Datarock performed their most extravagant premiere so far. Commissioned by the Numusic Festival only three months earlier, the concert took place at the grand Stavanger Concert Hall featuring the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra.
With only one day of rehearsals, the material presented was the sound of an imaginary musical. The concert included some of their most recent offerings such as "Catcher in the Rye" & "California" plus nine brand new titles - all draped in sixty minutes of freshly written orchestral arrangements by Bjørn Morten Christophersen.
"Rock Steady Freddie", "Ketel Two", "T-Man", and "LA Gear" were even joined by additional singers and returning band members "Ket-Ill", "Stig The Mystical Casio Operator" and "Reverend Breverend" - and the stage was covered with elaborate visuals, props and artwork uniquely created for the occasion by visual artist Birk Nygaard and graphic designer Christian Bergheim.
This extra special night was the first and only time they ever performed their musical.
Luckily, the concert was multi-tracked for documentation. Now all 115 recorded channels are dusted off, edited, mixed and mastered for release presented partly live and partly merged with studio sessions.
YAP Records finally has the pleasure of presenting 19 orchestrated Datarock titles featuring 85 contributors altogether - exclusively available as limited edition vinyl via robotbutikken.no or digital download via iTunes: itunes.apple.c...
