THE DATSUNS Comment On Collaboration With Ex-LED ZEPPELIN Bassist

January 10, 2004

New Zealand-based quartet THE DATSUNS are currently recording their second album with producer John Paul Jones (ex-LED ZEPPELIN bassist) for a tentative late May release through Hellsquad/V2 Records.

According to The New Zealand Herald, the recordings are taking place at Jacob's Studio, a residential farm in Surrey, about 50 minutes from London's Waterloo Station, where STEVIE WONDER, RADIOHEAD, BLUR, ROBBIE WILLIAMS and THE MUSIC have recorded.

"It would be easy to be intimidated by someone like John Paul Jones but he's not an intimidating fellow at all," said THE DATSUNS bassist/vocalist Dolf de Datsun. You can be, 'Oh God, I just screwed up in front of this guy' but after a day with him we just felt at ease. He'd seen us in New Zealand on that short tour and the main strength was we felt he was another one of us and we were totally comfortable saying anything we wanted.

"To get all the drums done in three days, to have us playing at that level, was because we were comfortable. There was a lot of laughing in the studio."
