Forums: Bands,

The Datsuns have the fast hard heavy beats with lyrics to add. They make me feel good in the mornings. They should get their good sounds onto a cd as I cant afford a turntable.

Ohhh, Ohhh Ohh
Rock n Roll never tasted so good.
The most skankin assed muther f@!*n band this side of Detroit.
Once you have seen these boys wail it will change the way you see, eat, listen to music forever.
Step aside "electronica" , step aside "jungle funk fusion" this is the real thing, live and in your face, The Datsuns show what playing to a crowd is all about.
Putting the "cock" back into rock and rolling into a town near you.
With amps that go all the way to 11 this is
New Zealands heaviest, tightest and dirtiest band.

These guys really know how to rock.

Someonez gotta tell me when they are going to release an LP, fuck I can't wait any longer! And when r they going to come back down to Dunners? And finally, i know their from Hamilton, and therefore probably a bit dim and illiterate, but can they not make a bloody website so we can know wat they r up to!

Anyone in Welli on saturday 27th October should head down to Valve and see these Mofos in action!!
The are greatest band since Led Zeppelin to grace the rock 'n' roll world!

My God! The Datsuns touring with The White Stripes?

SOMEONE PLEASE GET THEM TO TOUR HERE AS WELL *sob*

Aaahhh i discovered The Datsuns the other nite on m2...great stuff! very D4ish to me.

Has anyone checked out the Datsuns guest book?.
Those Americans are screaming for more.

anyone else hear supergyration on that KFC ad?

SHHH - don't wanna blow there cred when they're on a roll

remember headless chickens did that coke ad - or was that just fiona?

idea for a new thread... bands that sold out - but still managed to live it down

supergroove who?

sold out schmoled out. You tell me how the Datsuns are gonna make money enough to tour outside this tiny little country without stuff like that? You can keep all that precocious bullshit until NZ crowds come out to support their bands, buy records and stop complaining about a $5 dollar cover charge in every town bar the main centres.

they will probably be able to fund their own tour now
the americans and the english are screaming for more

godspeed

don't know much about touring & related costs v income do you....

a little bit
its hellishly expensive
but they now have an audience.

well at least it was only an instrumental and not the actual song, sorta helps.

Was that a KFC ad? Cheers mate I've been trying to remember where I'd been hearing that song all week! No selling out no there part - theve been rocking Europe and the US. Good on those skanky Waikato boys. I remember when they were in Trinket in the mid 90's enduring all sorts of filth from ol' JBC's. Hey Dolf - any chance of coercing those White Stripes into playing down in Welly? You'd be a champion...

If getting your bands song played on national TV, a million times a night in prime time AND getting paid for it is selling out, bring it on.

Datsuns must be on their way home soon, 'cos it was announced today that they're playing here in Palmerston North at the end of New Zealand Music Week, which I think is 11/5. Outstanding.

They were advertised to play at the kings arms this friday night but my band's playing.. but not with them. Weirdddd

It now seems The Datsuns are extending their stay even longer over there to do some recording. Hmmmmm interesting.

Datsun's BBC Peel session up for a couple of weeks only.

Don't Know too much bout the DATSUNS but i know that SUPERGYRATION is a class little song couldn't get it out my head for a week the DATSUNS have a cool look and solid image it's easy to tell they gonna carve up the music scene in their genre.

I've only heard Supergyration & Hoochie Mama... But I love them!! What is some other good stuff by theses guys? they're really good & actually rocky enough for me, unlike many NZ 'rock' bands.

"Motherfucker from Hell", "Lady" is alright, "Fink for the Man"...

Thanks Stefan :) Do they have any CDs yet? Cos if I like their songs I might buy it.

"fink for the man"?? whats fink mean?

Ummm... where can I download these songs? (If anywhere) Aren't on website or AG. & don't anyone tell me not to 'steal' mp3s on internet, it's just a try-before-I-buy thing & I don't burn them onto CDs & buy if I like.

why not listen to the Datsuns peel sessions? link's below. that way you get to hear them live as well. They have some singles which have been vinyl only and are all sold out again! They're doing a repress soon and they also have their album going out sometime this year which will be available on vinyl and CD.
