The Datsuns — Headstunts

The number of early-aught garage rock revival also-rans is staggering. For every White Stripes, there are a dozen Von Bondies. I guess that's what happens when even leading lights like The Strokes and The Hives can't sustain a fickle public's interest for more than a couple of records. While The Datsuns lean more towards The Von Bondies side of...

Who'd have thunk that out of all of those garage rock revivalists from almost a decade ago that The Datsuns would be one of the still-close-to-relevant survivors? I mean, you can't depend on The Strokes now, The Hives play too much dress-up, INC have gone back underground, Jack White's got a better band than the Stripes, and The Vines dude is...

The Datsuns Survive The Pixies' Fans

By Caitlin Hotchkiss (CHARTattack) January 4, 2005 4:00 pm
Sitting across from Christian Datsun and Phil Datsun — both guitarists for The Datsuns, naturally — it's kind of hard to remember their musician status. They've shared the stage with Velvet Revolver and more recently the reunited Pixies, yet they're more cheerful and friendly than others would be in their position. One would expect it's been...

The Datsuns — Outta Sight/Outta Mind

in
By Joel McConvey (CHARTattack) September 14, 2004 11:50 am
Go ahead. Put on the new record by The Datsuns, the latest flagbearers of "real rock ‘n’ roll" and a minute into the first track ("Blacken My Thumb") you’ll be stomping around your room thinking "Damn, I ain’t heard a guitar sound like that since ZZ Top!" By track two ("That Sure Ain’t Right"), you’ll be...

Last year New Zealand rock band The Datsuns were one of the most hyped acts on the NME landscape — so hyped, in fact, that Montreal's The Datsons had to change their name to The Datson Four and then The High Dials. Now The Datsuns are going to see if the hype has survived the band's between-album hiatus. The band will get some extra help from...

After making their T.O. debut late last year, New Zealand buzz band The Datsuns are making their proper return to Canada this spring. The band that have caused the British press to whip themselves into a frenzy equal to that caused by The Strokes and The White Stripes will play three Canadian shows in March and April. Montreal modsters The...

The Datsuns Deal With Fame

in
By Keith Carman (CHARTattack) November 13, 2002 3:00 pm
"I've been playing with these guys for the past seven years, four of which we've been doing rock 'n' roll. We're not an overnight sensation," grunts Datsuns bassist Dolf de Datsun. Pegged as one of those Next Big Thing bands, this New Zealand quartet aren't too keen on how their eponymous debut might be taken, which is one of the...
