Revved Up To Hit The Road With THE DATSUNS

One of New Zealand’s fiercest rock exports, The Datsuns, will bring their all thrills and no frills brand of sleazy garage rock to their Australian fans next March.
The Datsuns blazed into global consciousness with their 2002 self-titled debut, a record that topped the NZ charts and hurled them onto stages with Metallica, The White Stripes, and Queens of the Stone Age. Over the past two decades, they’ve released seven albums, worked with Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones, and remain an absolutely potent live act. Their Aussie run promises to be filled with savage hooks, honed to perfection, delivering Stoogeoid evil, powerpop crunch and the classic proto rawk assault & battery they are world renowned for.
Scandinavian drummer Adam Lindmark will drive the beast forward locking in with Dolf de Borst on bass. While upfront lead string wrangler and vocalist, Christian Livingstone, and rhythmic meister Phil Somervell bring a stack of raw, unfiltered and oh so good riffage.
Expect the full sweep of The Datsuns’ catalogue, from the anthems that scorched their early path to the first sparks of their eighth studio album, set to arrive in 2026. HEAVY caught up with vocalist/guitarist Christian Livingstone to find out more.
"We've been around for a long time now," he began when we ask what fans can expect from the shows. "We've got quite a few albums, so we're going to try and do a kind of cover everything, as it were, nice retrospective, and also throw in a few new songs from a record that we're hoping to release kind of middle of this year."
Check out the full interview for the full discussion.
