 CB> then of course you got rose tattoo, ac/dc (durr), divinyls etc as well....

We had a raft of bands back then... Cold Chisel, The Angels, going back a
bit, Masters Apprentices, Skyhooks, The Sunnyboys... we had the massive pub
rock scene going on.  Unfortunately it all died when they bought out pokies
here.. over a 1-2 year period every venue turned into a House of Mammon,
gambling den.

Rose Tattoo even flew under the radar for a lot of locals too.  But they put
out some good stuff, Rock n' Roll Outlaw, Bad boy for love, and the immortal
"Stuck on you" who could pass up the lines.... "I had a fish named sam, he
lived in a bowl, I heated up the water so he wouldn't get cold, now he's gone
now he's gone".
