hey, we're dan, james, hugo and tom who play some music as data select party.
you can keep up to date with everything we're up to on this page so keep checking back.
we've just uploaded a video of our set at the kingston peel from our tour with colour last february and march. this video comes from the brilliant beatcast tv who have tons of great live sets from some fantastic bands so check out the site and sign up for free video podcasts! our set the night of the video ran: three pennies, the woot the hot the hotness, wake up the town, ultra swing, wicked conductors, no girls allowed, hey zeus, the white bear. hope you enjoy it.
we had the best two weeks ever with colour and want to thank them so much for being an incredible band and the kindest, funniest, cleverest, stylish, drunkest people on the planet. also obviously massive props to everyone who came to any of the shows, we were so so happy to see so many of you at all the shows and it made the 'awesome rad gnarly tour' the highlight of our time playing music together to date. THANK YOU.
finally, its probably very obvious from our subtle background and camouflaged header but just in case... our mini-album 'hanging out with humans' is out now and available to order on the net by clicking the header at the top of the page or the link in the 'merch' section to the left. wicked.
"the release is just over 20 minutes in length, with enough hooks to keep abu hamza happy all year, and will almost certainly provide the soundtrack for many future indie club nights. it is not overshadowed by one particular stand out track, with each song presenting a valid case to be considered as a single. 'hanging out with humans' is a great release!"

"'no girls allowed' mixes math rock and pop together to create the catchiest British summer anthem since Blur's 'Parklife' in 1994."
- ROCK SOUND MAGAZINE
"maybe what minus the bear would sound like if their sole goal was to get you shaking your moneymaker, this is a wonky grooved winner." ('no girls allowed' no. 1 in '10 songs you should hear right now!')
- KERRANG! MAGAZINE
"indie headonism wrapped up in four minutes flat!"
- STEVE LAMACQ
"twiddly guitars, disco beats and snappy street choruses from data.select.party, whose combination of soul, style and sing-a-long potential should see them rocket."
- TIME OUT LONDON
"careening through a rapturous (wheeey!) twenty minutes of les savy fav-inspired frenzy, data.select.party allow no room for inertia. handclaps? check. intertwining, spiky clean guitars? check. group shouting? check. disco party? You bet!" (the social in london w/ dartz!)
