Career

Both Victoria natives Ajay Bhattacharyya and Amy Kirkpatrick, aged 25, have been playing together since 2009. They first met at the Lucky Bar, home to a bustling and tight-knit community of musicians and fans, where Bhattacharyya filled in as a drummer for Kirkpatrick when she was touring her singer/songwriter act throughout the Victoria coffee houses. After both moving to Vancouver proper Kirkpatrick worked as a lighting technician at many well respected clubs in the city while Bhattacharyya studied sound design for film under Robert Grieve, with mentoring from Craig Berkey. Originally they called the duo “Names” but then changed the name to Data Romance, a name which was derived from a song by Berlin techno icon Ellen Allien. Together, their work experiences have influenced their music and live performances, adding to the “soundtrack-like” vibe and highly visual live show.

Data Romance signed to Street Quality Entertainment in September of 2010. The duo has put out both of its releases under the label’s name. The first is an original soundtrack called “Life Cycles” put out in January 2011. Their follow up EP, self titled, released in June of the same year debuts their single (and music video), “The Deep".[8] The EP and single have been featured on NME, Filter and Zane Lowe’s Radio 1 BBC program.[9]
