Rose Tattoo 1980-00-00 Bondi Lifesaver, Sydney, Australia

 


Rose Tattoo at the Bondi Lifesaver, Sydney, 1980. 

Live to air on JJJ FM, one of Australians greatest live bands playing the last live gig at one of Australia's greatest live venues. The Bondi Lifesaver was one of the most important venues in the country during the Aussie Pub Rock boom of the 70's and early 80's and Rose Tattoo were one of the most important bands on the pub rock circuit.  Formed in Sydney in 1977 by Pete Wells, the Tatts built up a loyal following in this country and later overseas with their slide guitar influenced hard rock sound. AC/DC frontman Bon Scott was apparently instrumental in getting Rose Tattoo signed to Alberts where AC/DC producers Harry Vanda and George Young produced their Self Titled debut album in 1978.  By the mid 80's, and after numerous lineup changes, Rose Tattoo called it a day, only to reform in 1993 after a request from Guns N'Roses to support their Use Your Illusion Australian Tour.  The band are still very poplular in Europe, especially Germany, and have toured there regularly since the late 90's.
