THE DATSUNS @ THE LEGENDARY HORSESHOE TAVERN (20TH JULY)

Describing themselves as a garbage rock band from Cambridge, New Zealand this band are less than your average lamb chop your mum’s put under the grill for 10 minutes, but maybe more of a lamb shank with mint sauce, parsley and all the trimmings. But if you’re not a meat eater don’t let that put you off, these guys have just about enough bite for everybody. Imagine fighting two rounds with Mike Tyson and a Pit Bull Terrier and it’s only now you begin to imagine the biting force potential. So with such a mighty set of audio essentials what exactly have this band got to offer the world apart from a lot of meat and whole lot of bite?

Ok so winning some slightly impressive awards such as NME’S ‘Best Live Band’ and New Zealand Music Awards ‘Best Album’, ‘Best Group’ and ‘Best Breakthrough Artist’, ‘should’ help you form some sort of opinion on them. And although unfortunately the 2^nd Album “Outta Sight, Outta Mind” didn’t quite create the impact expected and The 3^rd Album didn’t cause too much of a stir either. These lads know how to put 210% into their live performances, and with their 4^th album Headstunts (which you can check out on www.myspace.com/thedatsuns ), they just might take you by surprise like a wegdey from your granny on a Sunday morning. So if you like dancing like a 1972 retro rock scenester with a slinky caught in your pants or jumping around like you’ve got a pogo stick stuck in your shoes, your only option is to catch these guys tomorrow night (20^th July) @ The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern. It just might be the most exceedingly good $15 dollars you’ve spent in a while.
