California is an EP by Norwegian dance-punk duo Datarock, released in 2011 included within the Catcher in the Rye EP aka The Most Extravagant Single in History. The EP features the title track "California" a song the band bills as part of a new modern rock musical about Datarock traveling the world. The band continues its often playful approach to music citing references to both The Beach Boys' "California Girls" and Porno for Pyros' "Pets" in the song "Great Pets". The EP was the first step in Datarock's plans to release a musical.[1]
