About

Rose Tattoo are an Australian hard rock band formed in Sydney in 1976, led since the beginning by vocalist Angry Anderson. Their first four albums - produced by Harry Vanda and George Young, the same duo behind AC/DC - built a raw, blues-driven sound that influenced acts from Guns N' Roses to Nashville Pussy. Inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2006, the band is widely regarded as one of the founding pillars of Australian hard rock.
