I was bored and sleep deprived and a little drunk last week and stumbled upon a live musical performance of this band Datarock, who I'd never heard of before, on some late night talk show. I started watching in mid-song so I had no idea who it was, and my first thought was that it absolutely had to be Trans Am. And as they played, I concluded it had to be Trans Am in disguise playing the kind of joke that Trans Am always plays on most of their albums. They completely rocked in a really absurd retro-Commodore-64 meets math rock way. Looking online I can't find much info. But I've seen Trans Am live and I swear they look exactly like the dudes in Datarock. Am I hallucinating? Are their albums good? Have I grown so far past irony that I can't even tell the difference between genuine music and ironic mugging? For the record I am still aware that She Wants Revenge are a joke band that pretends not to be, so I'm not completely clueless.
