I remember seeing Rose Tattoo tattoos and painted jean jackets growing up in Fayetteville, NC. I never checked them out cause all the dudes who were into them seemed to be either GIs or bikers... I should have known that meant they're awesome.
Kinda like ACDC (from Australia as well and shared drummer Phil Rudd with ACDC for a minute) Rose Tattoo has a more bluesy/Stones vibe, I guess mainly because of the great slide guitar that is in most of their songs.
Check out this video for "Rock N Roll Outlaw". Super low budget, tough looking chicks and bad lip-syncing but I've never seen a band rock so hard in a room with just two potted plants. At 1:20 notice the nasty lip lick, yikes!
