The Datsuns Appreciate Best Live Band NME Honor

Dolf Datsun of The Datsuns spoke with Australia's Beat magazine about winning the prestigious Best Live Band gong at the NME Awards, a reflection of the band's inate ability to let it all hang out on stage. "I have to say we were really surprised to win," the guitarist said. "It's one of those industry awards that is voted for by the kids who go the shows. It's one thing being recognized by other people in the industry because they have to, but it's a lot better being put up there by the people who come and see you. The ones who, no matter what language they speak, go and see you, know the words to all the songs – even if they don't know what they mean – and put everything into it. And we reciprocate."
