‘The narrative of Deep Sleep is this: we got together, we wrote some songs and we recorded them in the space of ten days,’ says de Borst, ‘It was basically an experiment to see if we could do it and this is what we got, for better or worse.

The Datsuns first debuted in the Radioscope NZ Music Airplay Top 10 on 27 October 2002 with the song In Love. There are eight entries by The Datsuns in the charts with two reaching Number One.
