Recorded in 1982, mastered for 2017: ‘Tatts:’Live in Brunswick’ is a record for those that like their Rock N Roll with no airs and graces: it’s dirty, hard, fast and real.
To be honest although ‘Live in Brunswick’ dates from a time in Rose Tattoo’s career when they only had three albums under their belts, what a trio of albums they were! With a setlist bringing together the best of those records the band sounds as aggressive, confident and full-on as you might expect from a band riding high on the wave of a recent UK tour where they played the Reading Festival and generally made a sizeable splash.
Recorded at Melbourne’s Bombay Bicycle Club in Brunswick in 1982 and released via Golden Robot Records “it’s an album that takes you back thirty-five years ago; the Australian pub rock scene was at its peak, live music was everywhere, and so was Rose Tattoo, becoming one of Australia’s most revered rock bands of all time, known for their peerless, raw, heavy blues rock, hot mix of slide guitars, and the unmistakable voice of Angry Anderson”.
If you want to hear one of the best rock bands to ever come out of Australia at their peak then this is the record, and whilst there are some notable omissions in the setlist one being – ‘Nice Boys’ the song Guns N Roses covered on their first EP, (strangely Gunners have played that song live almost as any times at the Tatts) the set is suitably robust.
Stunning performances from top to tail there’s a real joy to spinning this one!
