Australian rock n' roll outlaws ROSE TATTOO see the following update at their website:

"Check out the debut album of Aussie oi-street rockers T.H.U.G, featuring (Rose Tattoo frontman) Angry Anderson on guest vocals and few more well known comrades.

You could order your copy at Randale Records in Germany or have a listen to it on T.H.U.G's MySpace."

As previously reported, founding guitarist Mick Cocks of Rose Tattoo has been diagnosed with liver cancer and secondary tumours in the lungs.

A special benefit concert called One Of The Boys – A Concert For Mick Cocks was held at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney, Australia on Friday, July 24th.

A special report from the show has been written by Glenn Ware. An excerpt can be found below:

The show could have been called 'Live and Loud' because that's what it was! On Friday July 24th the Australian music community performed a benefit show called One Of The Boys for Rose Tattoo guitarist and founding member Mick Cocks at the Enmore Theatre. Mick has been diagnosed with liver cancer. Rose Tattoo has had a tragic past. Band members Pete Wells died from prostate cancer in March, 2006; Ian Rilen died from bladder cancer 6 months later & temporary member Lobby Loyde died from lung cancer in 2007...

All artists tonight gave their time. The Enmore Theatre donated the venue. All TV/Radio stations donated their air-time. Technicians and roadies all donated their craft. In the foyer was T-shirts, CDs, signed photos/plaques and other desirable memorabilia for sale or auction. And organiser Marty Clapp reminded us that the idea for this show started only three weeks ago! An incredible feat to organise, stage and promote all this, in such a short amount of time!!!
