Among the band's fans were the members of AC/DC, who recommended them to Albert Productions the band's debut single " Bad Boy for Love" was written by Rilen, who left the lineup prior to the record's release.Īnderson's onetime Buster Brown bassist Geordie Leach was recruited for Rose Tattoo's self-titled debut LP after nearly three years of extensive touring, during which time Leach temporarily left the band to be replaced by Lobby Lloyde, they issued the follow-up, "Assault and Battery", in 1981. Rose Tattoo made their public debut on New Year's Eve at the rock club Chequers that several years earlier had launched the career of AC/DC.Ĭhiefly inspired by The Rolling Stones and the Faces, Rose Tattoo's hard-rocking sound quickly earned a devoted following in the Sydney area. Like Buffalo, Buster Brown had enjoyed a level of notoriety, playing at the Sunbury Festival in 1974 and at one point had featured AC/DC drummer Phil Rudd. Rhythm guitarist Mick Cocks, singer Tony Lake and drummer Michael Vandersluys completed the line-up howeverthe last two only remained for a few rehearsals and were soon replaced by former Buster Brown members Angry Anderson and Dallas "Digger" Royal.
Rilen had apparently taught himself to play bass while in prison and thus gave Wells' band the street-cred he was looking for. Ian Rilen from Band of Light joined on bass. Rose Tattoo was formed in Sydney in 1976 by slide guitarist Peter Wells, who had just departed the bassist role in Buffalo. Guns, and Nashville Pussy have all covered Rose Tattoo songs. Along with AC/DC and The Angels, Rose Tattoo helped establish an Australian rock sound in the 1970s that was copied around the world. Their first four albums were produced by Harry Vanda and George Young who also worked with AC/DC. Among their best known songs are "We Can't Be Beaten", "Scarred for Life", "Rock 'n' Roll Outlaw" and "Bad Boy for Love". Rose Tattoo is an Australian blues/ hard rock band, led by Angry Anderson.
