ANGRY Anderson says Rose Tattoo are writing new songs and reserve the right to release more recorded music.
The Tatts will wind up a 50-year career with their last-ever show in Sydney on New Years Eve – but frontman Anderson says that doesn’t mean the end of the entity from a creative or recording perspective.
“When I say the end of the band, it’s not gonna be completely the end of the band,” Anderson, , told the Laughing Monkey Music podcast.
“But that’s not something I really wanna talk about because I don’t know what shape that’s gonna take. But I said to Mick [Arnold, guitarist] the other day when we were… I went down to Mick‘s place, the slide player, and we were doing some songwriting.
“And I said something to him about some of his tunes, and I said, ‘We’ll save them for next year.’ And he looked at me and sort of smiled. And I knew the smile was one of, ‘Fab. Thanks. That’s great.’ ‘
“Cause I hadn’t sort of shared that kind of prophecy, if you like, or plan in my… But I said to him, I said, ‘We’ll keep writing songs,’ because I’m very much enjoying what we’re coming up with for the next Tatts album.
“And I said, ‘Well, so we’ll keep writing, and we’ll see what we produce.’ And I said, ‘If we produce a bunch of songs that really should be Rose Tattoo songs,’ I said, ‘Well, we’ll just go ahead and record them and just put them out.’
“When I say put them out, it’s upload or whatever happens these days. So we’ll make them available.”
