Wed 2nd Aug, 2006 in Local News

In keeping within the tradition ARIA established at the 2005 Hall of Fame event, inductees, Rose Tattoo  will be honoured in song by one of Australia’s prime rock n’ roll exports Jet.

With a new album, Shine On, set for release in teh coming month, Jet will crank out a special tribute to Rose Tattoo, a band they claim still remains a strong influence on them.

“We’re going to do ‘We Can’t Be Beaten’ – I think it fits us more than their other sons. And it captures an attitude which is ingrained in every Australian”, said Jet’s Nic Cester.

Also slated to perform at the ceremony, Brooke Fraser, who will deliver her rendition of the Helen Reddy classic, ‘Delta Dawn’; Divinyls founding members Chrissy Amphlett and Mark McEntee, will take to the stage for the first time in almost 12 years to perform two of their biggest hits – ‘I Touch Myself’ and ‘Boys in Town’ while the original line-up of Daddy Cool will regroup to perform  their iconic hits – ‘Eagle Rock’ and ‘Come Back Again’.

Iva Davies and Icehouse will perform ‘We Can Get Together’ and a special rendition of their classic song ‘Great Southern Land’ and last but not least, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs will perform a very special musical tribute to Lobby Loyde.
