“Hitmen have been fighting the war against the jive alongside our Comrades Rose Tattoo since the late 70’s and have shared many a stage across the mighty beer barns of Australia,” says Johnny Kannis. “We’re now happy to be reuniting once again in an exciting period of our career where we’ve just released our new mini album “Six Pistols. We’re ready!”

Dallas Crane were former label-mates of Rose Tattoo. “Sharing the Alberts label with Rose Tattoo and AC/DC was on thing, but sharing the stage with the awesome power of the Tatts puts a pretty large tick on 2018 already for Dallas Crane,” they said.

Angry Anderson clocked up 40 years as Rose Tattoo lead singer in 2016. The 2018 line-up is a who’s who of Australian rock with Bob Spencer (The Angels, Skyhooks), Mark Evans (AC/DC) and John ‘Watto’ Watson (Australian Crawl) part of the new band. Dai Pritchard has been a part of the Tatts line-up for over a decade.

Now in their late sixties and still touring world-wide, featuring the original line up of Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies and Paul Gray, they are the ones having the last laugh and have left their old rivals for dead, in certain respects, quite literally!
