Mental As Anything At Play
Mental As Anything Mental As Anything At Play CD Once upon a time, a group of art students passed themselves off as a band in order to con the local publican into giving them a gig in exchange for free beer. The deception worked better than intended with the group receiving beer in return for music and came to be known as Mental as Anything. Four decades later, they are still irritating the public with their highly listenable, idiosyncratic brand of garage pop and to celebrate, the band convened late in 2018 to record a live album; Mental As Anything At Play. An eighty minute blitz through an unparalleled string of hits Too Many Times, Live It Up, Mr Natural, The Nips Are Getting Bigger, If You Leave Me Can I Come Too the list goes on all brilliantly crafted pop hits that evoke wonderful memories. Their 25 Top 40 charting songs were, for a long time, a record for an Australian band and are a wonderful illustration of the depth of their catalogue and their song-writing ability. They are captured here in this new live recording.
