The Datsuns Chat To VF... on MSN!!

United Kingdom | by Andrew Future | 01 October 2002

Always on the ball and never off the field, Virtual Festivals conducts a quick late night interview with The Datsuns' Phil. Where else? Why on MSN Chat at one in the morning of course!

How the hell's this for an exclusive?!!! Just about to knock in after a hard evening's work sifting through a load of photos, and who should appear on my internet messenging service but Phil Datsun! Never off the field play, I asked him a couple of questions.

(The text is copied straight from the MSN box, so excuse any spellings, obscenities or colloquialisms.)

The Datsuns have recorded their fantastic self-titled debut for V2 Records, it trails the stunning single 'In Love' which is out now. Buy it alongside The Von Bondies 'It Came From Japan'.

Stay tuned tomorrow night for Noel Gallagher. Maybe.
