Thursday night the Tatts line up of Wells/Anderson/King (acca The Undertaker!!)/DeMarco & Riley hit the stage to a full house of 400 fans at their local pub, the Annadale Hotel. The set list for the 3 gigs was (going from a hazy memory, I did get a list from the gig but lost it somewhere)- Out Of This Place Bad Boy One Of The Boys Assault & Battery Tramp The Butcher Rock 'N' Roll Is King Remedy Astra Wally Scarred For Life Manzil Madness Outlaw We Can't Be Beaten Nice Boys Suicide City (played at Annandale only) The crowd loved it & went right off moshing in the front. The sound wasn't all that great (very loud though as you'd expect) but didn't impress Angry & Rob had a few technical problems. At the end Wellsy threw his t-shirt into the crowd walking off the stage to the sound of ear shattering feedback. The next night at Woy Woy was great, a lot better sound which thumped plus the band were noticably tighter having benefited from blowing the cobwebs out the previous night. The real disappointing thing was that there was no-one there, about 125 from what I heard. I was told that this gig wasn't advertised all that well which hopefully explains the lack of bodies. The Eastwood gig was packed and the band were great. Overall the band enjoyed themselves on stage and benefited from the warm up gigs before the UK/European tour. Overseas fans can expect to see a loud an agressive Rose Tattoo playing, as Pete Wells said "the same old shit", which we love and hope to hear more of!!!! All the best overseas!!Something else to look forward to is the Pete Wells Band touring in Australia with special guest Angry Anderson. Heres the latest dates:
