About Me:
Founder member and formerly with Aberdeen psychedelic jazz outfit HotLips, synth player and keyboardist with would be Ellon funking superstars "Worser Than Louis" Harry Macari first came up with the name "Data Thieves" for the band back in the early nineties, when insider dealing at the stock exchange earned the distinctive descriptive phrase, and rightly appeared an appropriate misnomer for those involved in sampling and beat cutting in the brave new post second summer of love synth era.
Although during the nineties a few demos were released under the name Data Thieves, Harry Macari continued to release work under the name Pumpkinman, Beat Freex, Mandrax Babies, and Gator Swamp Terrorists, as well as playing regular gigs with alt country band Subtle Impact, and Aberlour band Angels Dram.
A guest appearance in Infinate TV with Rod Gibbs of Malfuncution at Aberdeens East Neuk bar in the mid nineties was an incentive for Macari to be drawn back toward a larger audience than the highland league football social club gig circut:)
On leaving the highland croft where he had enjoyed idylic retreat in the mid nineties for the bright lights of civilisation down on the coast, Macari enjoyed success with the Aberdeen band "Halcion Daze" including television appearances and recordings made at WorldSound teaching studio.
After a short hiatus, Macari then went on to play several engagements(raves and gigs) under the name Data Thieves, and started releasing work online.
Achieving record download numbers for a scots artist Data Thieves went on to be one of the most successful artists at the time, attaining over 53000 downloads in two years on MP3.com.
A fairly reasonable total for a scots underground artist.
In between ones and zeros, Macari was also drafted in to play synth with alt indie stars "The Famous Prostitute" which featured Mark Rowson. and later with some recording projects involving top scots female bassist Seana Carroll with duo "Riverbend.
Following an exile Macari has emerged with two new compilation DVDs,
These feature some great improvisations and spontaneaous playing.
There are great film sequences and features of scenery and wildlife in the videos, an abstract view of a dynamic scotland and its place in the modern world.
