Win A Copy Of The Datsuns Smokin' New Album!

The Datsuns released their brand new album “Smoke & Mirrors” on Saturday October 14 through EMI. The band’s third album, “Smoke & Mirrors” at last establishes the breadth of what The Datsuns are about musically on record.

Here is all the manic excitement of 2002’s debut “The Datsuns” with a bigger, bolder, more “classic” sound, but without losing touch with the trashy, poppy kicks of old. “Smoke & Mirrors” was written and produced by the band themselves with help from engineer Nick Abbott and mixer Cenzo Townshend.The Datsuns have spent the last year beavering a way, playing live and writing songs. For various reasons, including the fruitless search of a producer, the band had more time to write than they’d bargained for. By the end of 2005, they had amassed 40-odd songs and were itching to record them.

“Smoke & Mirrors“, however, features just 10 tracks. “Waiting For Your Time To Come” is described by guitarist, Christian, as “Led Zeppelin meets The Who musically” while “Stuck Here For Days” features slide guitar which was a first for the band. As is the inclusion of gospel singers on the awesome stomping blues of “All Aboard” and the eighth minute, mind-blowing closing track “Too Little Fire“.
A limited run of the CD will be packaged with a bonus DVD featuring a band documentary while the single “System Overload” - taken from the album – is currently at Australian radio and TV.
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. The band are touring Australia this November!
