«Tick Tock» live at @pipfest 2026 — when DATAROCK was direct support for David Byrne!

Such a pleasure and privilege to finally meet the ever inspiring, relentlessly inquisitive «post modernist» giant, @davidbyrneofficial — admittedly affecting so many of our creative endeavors via both Talking Heads’ songwriting, references, arrangements, production, cover art, music videos & concert film Stop Making Sense, via his film True Stories, his stellar solo albums & amazing stage productions, various collaborations, and insightful publication How Music Works, etc, etc.

«Fa-Fa-Fa» has the most obvious reference to his work of course — quoting Talking Heads’ «Psycho Killer» — but the trick in that specific case (as Byrne confirmed in our conversation) is how «Fa-Fa-Fa» contains a double reference; you see Byrne himself referenced Otis Reading’s «Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa (Sad Song)» in «Psycho Killer», so there you go — not only did we reference Byrne’s work, but also how Byrne playfully refers to others himself.

Another example is of course DATAROCK’s «True Stories» (named after his motion picture) where all sentences in the lyrics are full Talking Heads titles — and its music video even took inspiration from parts of Byrne’s red, graphic back projections seen in Stop Making Sense.

DATAROCK got to play «direct support» for his latest marvel of a traveling stage productions at @pipfest — and believe us — if you have the opportunity to see David Byrne live on his current tour, do everything in your power NOT to miss it; we’re talking 13 artists on stage + 35 artists behind the scenes. NOT TO BE MISSED!

The Master and Margarita • link in bio 🎭

@fredriksaroea’s 4th solo album is out featuring the music he composed for a theatrical adoption of Mikhail Bulgakov’s acclaimed novel at The National Stage [for the Bergen International Festival] in 2024 — where he also played the main character of Woland.

The Master and Margarita feature @datarock_official colleague @kjetilmoester on woodwind, the «Norwegian Grammy» winner Stian Balducci aka +plattform on electronics, and guest appearances by the @bit20ensemble’s string quartet from my Rona Diaries & Lucid Dream albums, original DATAROCKer Ketil Mosnes aka @baertur on bass, Ungdomskulen’s @solheimoeyvind on drums, The Megaphonic Thrift’s @richmykle on guitar & Misty Coast’s @linn_frokedal on bass — all wrapped in a stellar mix & master by @markrankin, and this exquisite artwork by the amazing @mvm_magnus!

One year since the release of my 3rd solo album ft. @bit20ensemble & @kingsofconvenience’ Eirik @glambek Bøe. Check the opening "suite".

"With his concurrent solo career, frontman Fredrik Saroea proves that he’s got even more innovative ideas in his musical arsenal: his third album, Lucid Dream (which just came out in October), veers from acoustic-based singer-songwriter tracks to marathon-length bossa nova explorations – along with contributions from BIT20 Ensemble, the virtuosic Norwegian chamber orchestra (with whom Saroea previously collaborated on his 2022 album, Rona Diaries: The Chamber Versions)." — @bigtakeovermag

“The dynamic arrangements by the BIT20 Ensemble are no mere classy embellishment, but a collaboration that pushes Saroea’s voice to greater heights, to match the racking thrill of the strings” – @uncut_magazine

“…all classed up, laying down some serious nylon string guitar work with the BIT20 Ensemble.” – @brooklynvegan

“…a gorgeously sweeping landscape of sounds” – @americansongwriter taken in Grieghallen by @yap_records

DATAROCK — Double Vision

Thanks to everyone who showed up to the first lag of the 20th anniversary for our debut from 2005 — and a special big up to Christoffer Aksnes for all the work he put into the documentary DATAROCK DATAROCK DATAROCK (2025) & the concert film DATAROCK - In Double Vision (2025).

Enjoy his video for the song «Double Vision» that run alongside the end credits of the film; an exclusive little celebration of the key musicians that somehow ended up playing more than a thousand live shows in 37 countries with you favourite Norwegian dance-punk outfit 🌎

Happy holidays, and see you in 2026 🌍 by @yap_records
