In celebration of their sophomore album Red, Datarock is taking over N. America with a 26-city tour that beings on Friday, August 28 in Montreal & ends on Saturday, October 3 in Seattle.

In the midst of sell-out dates across London & Australia, the Norwegian rockers made a quick stop in the US last month & gave packed audiences in LA & San Francisco a sneak preview of what they can expect from 5-week tour…same tracksuits, more songs, bigger show.

It is a fact that the red suited dudes will be releasing a new single/EP titled Give It Up, that will include a bunch of remixes of the title track. I still don’t have a confirm date on when this is going to happen but I’m sure it’s pretty soon. The only news the label has confirmed is that Datarock will be unleashing new music at SXSW. Here are the two remixes by Kissy Sell Out & Fan Death that have emerged on the web.
