Fire the retro blasters and re-enter the atmosphere…

After some drifting through the deep sonic universe we can finally reveal special guests for this Australian tour as it hurtles through the planet.

Joining The Datsuns in Hobart will be MESS O’REDS

In Melbourne, as this one heads towards an inevitable sell-out… THE PRETTY LITTLES

In Brisbane BEN ELY (from Regurgitator) with his new solo attack along with the fresh out from recording THE MERCY BEAT

In Sydney… joining them to make a powerhouse combo is downright combustible legends FRONT END LOADER along with openers LOS HOMBRES DEL DIABLO

In Adelaide it will be long term devotee’s GLASS SKIES

And then for the WA shows… THE VOLCANICS are exploding their way through the full WA run plus then additionals in Rockingham include LEGS ELECTRIC, in Bunbury THE DINGBATS, Perth comes added with THE CABALLERO’S, and finally the last night on the run has SCALPHUNTER

The Datsuns latest album Deep Sleep elaborates on their signature breakneck-paced rock’n’roll delving into more menacing terrain summoned from the bands collective proto-metal 70s influences; Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Blue Oyster Cult and Bloodrock, to name a few. Semi-tones are thrown in amongst blues scale riffs creating a darker, more evil sound that summons images of 1970s cult film super-villains.

“We are super excited to play the new record live, it’s gonna be loud!”

Bring on the gravity and get down for some planet scorching rock heat from the true afterburners!

BAD TASTE:

THE DATSUNS revel in 1970s cult film super-villains for new album, DEEP SLEEP…

Seizing the opportunity of being in the same city, Deep Sleep was written and recorded in a blistering fast ten days at Roundhead Studios in Auckland last summer. The result is a sonic explosion that arrives, lights the place on fire, then leaves, all within the space of 34 minutes.

Singer/bassist Dolf de Borst… “We’re not fucking around. We’re all conscious of the fact that we don’t live close to each other and we’re getting older and people have families, so if we’re together, we’re going to make records.”
