With murmurs that Angry Anderson and crew may hang up their live-glove this year, Rosie Tattoo arrives — not your typical tribute. Born of Irish-convict roots, these pickers deliver hillbilly grit and grassroots drive, strings entwined with foot-stomping, spine-twisting rhythms. Angret (Cara Robinson) leads this acoustic apocalypse, joined by Hat Fitz (banjo, BVs), the Curran brothers (mandolin, dobro) and Hooksy (double bass). Together they strip Rock ’n’ Roll down to something raw, ripped, and disturbingly blissful, a tribute that honours the originals while reshaping songs into relentless, intimate, Appalachian-tinged fire. Expect honest sweat, wild harmonies and unforgettable late-night singalongs ahead
Rosie Tattoo aren’t your typical tribute act — they’re five musicians united by a genuine love for Australia’s classic rock and the raw soul of Rose Tattoo, not a political agenda. They blend that fire with hillbilly, bluegrass and roots-soul flavours, plus a healthy dose of mongrel mischief. The result is a loose, loud, and honest sound that celebrates the songs without being a carbon copy. Five players ripping it up and pulling everyone into the mess
