The Datsuns
The Datsuns from Cambridge in New Zealand. They are Dolf De. Datsun on Vocals and Bass, Christian Livingstone on guitar and vocals, Phil Somervell on guitar and vocals and Matt Osment on Drums. A the start of the year they jacked in their jobs, took out a loan and headed West to tour the US with good friends The White Stripes. After a much publicized slot at the South By South West festival they hit the UK. After just a couple of dates Kerrang! pronounced them "the greatest live rock 'n' roll band on the planet", and they signed with Richard Branson's label V2.
Their first single release for V2 was "In Love", closely followed by their debut album 'The Datsuns'. Previously they had released 3 singles, 'Super Gyration', 'Fink the Man' and 'Lady' on their own Hellsquad records.
