That's right folks, a brand new version of the instrument fondly known as The Magic Pipe. We’re not talking about a rub, polish & tweak – we’re talking all new high grade aluminium and phosphor bronze, machined by the same machinist responsible for the Phoenix Mars Lander, Mr Danny Price.

The Datsuns
11 Dec 2008
Zoo, 711 Ann Street, Fortitude Valley

Shouting post-modernism, power-pop, and rock, The Datsuns are back with a collectively written, self-produced and simply quite stunning new album, Head Stunts. A twist of pop offers a taste of something new from this New Zealand four-piece, yet at the same time, Head Stunts remains sufficiently heavy, maintaining the band's signature rock nature that has been etched into their identity.
