Note: Come early and be among the first to taste the Flavorpill Orange Fresh cocktail.
Norwegian duo Datarock cite Devo as one of their main influences, as if it weren't obvious. (They wear matching sci-fi jumpsuits and have a proclivity for jerky, synth-driven computer pop and deadpan voice-overs.) Of course, the group's arcade bleeps and zaps are all their own — however couched in bawdy, self-consciously nerdy lyrics and deep disco grooves. The band hit it big in 2005 with its single "Computer Camp Love," a cheeky tribute to Grease's "Summer Nights," and in 2008 received the highest honor possible — a remix of "Computer Camp Love" by none other than the devolution dudes themselves. Chicago DJ twosome Flosstradamus open tonight with hip-hop-studded spins and scratches.
