Trinket

Trinket was the first incarnation of The Datsuns, formed in 1995 by Dolf de Borst, Phil Buscke and Matt Osment. Christian Livingstone joined in 1997.

The band entered the Contact 89FM Battle of the Bands on three occasions, placing third in 1997, and coming second place to Trucker in 1998 (for whom Dolf played bass also). The following year Trinket were victorious.

Recording and releasing material on cassette tapes, Trinket built up quite a following around Hamilton due to goofy yet irresistable songs like Girly Gumshoe and Chocolate Coated Mamas. They also released the track Moral Dilemma on the 1996 compilation In Love With This Town.

In 2000 they changed their name to The Datsuns.
