Bio
The legendary Australian hard rock and blues rock band Rose Tattoo delivers an aggressive, raw sound, characterized by slide guitar and frontman Angry Anderson's powerful vocals, making them uniquely recognizable.
Their 1978 debut album 'Rock n Roll Outlaw' is considered a classic that set the tone for their reputation as an iron-clad live band. Rose Tattoo’s early work radiated a near-dangerous intensity, inspiring countless bands including Guns N’ Roses. Hits such as 'Nice Boys' and 'Bad Boy for Love' capture their sleazy style, often evoking the vibe of dusty Australian pubs with an undercurrent of menace. Despite lineup changes and personal setbacks, the band retains a loyal fan base and continues to tour and release music, maintaining their status as a key influence in hard rock and sleaze rock.
