Ever since this hyper-kinetic quartet first landed among us, circa 2002, direct from semi-rural New Zealand, they have been one of rock’s great live attractions. At any given summer festival, thrill-seekers of every colour will flock together from new band tent, or metal stage, or their skate arena, or indeed their own private drunken chaos, to witness Dolf, Christian, Phil and Matt putting their collective boot to the jams, generating their own riff-mangling, speaker-stack-toppling electricity. The Datsuns’ appeal, like AC/DC, Ramones and Mudhoney before them, transcends tribe/genre boundaries. They’re just fuckin’ ace, and pretty much everyone knows it.
