They'll bring the tracksuits, the shades, and the ass-shaking grooves-- you just bring the ass. Norwegian disco-pop party duo Datarock ship off to the States and Mexico for a spring tour that will whisk them from Miami's Studio A to Brooklyn's Studio B and everywhere in between-- even to Mexico, a Datarock first!

The groove-laden jaunt kicks off tomorrow night in Berlin. Following a string of European shows, Fredrik Saroea and Ket-ill join Girl Talk, CSS, Diplo, and ADULT. for one hell of a party in Mexico City, then hop the border for a SXSW stint and gigs on all three U.S. coasts (Midwest included, kiddies). So fuck Chromeo-- this is the real shit.

Datarock you like a hurricane:
