Super Gyration

The Datsuns

Synopsis

 

Super Gyration was the first Datsuns release – at first a vinyl only 7” 45. Director Greg Page had to abandon his initial concept the night before the shoot when he lost his location. Instead, he prevailed on an Onehunga panel beater’s shop and shot the band rocking out and in their element. Cars were provided by the Ooga Boys hot rod club. They weren’t huge fans of Datsun automobiles and took some persuading but the band’s music won them over. In a clip full of cars the only Datsun is on the single’s picture sleeve on a dishwasher in the kitchen.
