About: The Datsuns

Cambridge, New Zealand's finest garage-rock export, The Datsuns built their reputation on ferocious live shows and a debut album that topped the NZ charts in 2002 - with John Paul Jones behind the desk for the follow-up. Now working on album eight, they remain one of the most electrifying acts to catch on a club stage.
