Aussie icons Mental as Anything will be putting on a show at the Noosa Surf Club for one massive night out on Friday 10th May at 8.30pm. There will be free entry before 9pm and a $20 entry fee afterwards. Mental as Anything first started as a group of art students who 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 they intended as four decades later the group is still entertaining the public with their brand of garage pop. Mental as Anything is led by Greedy Smith, together with ex-Atlantics guitarist Martin Cilia, drummer Jacob Cook, guitarist/vocalist Craig Gordon and bassist/vocalist Peter Gray. Their 25 Top 40 charting songs were, for a long time, a record for an Australian band and are a great illustration of the depth of their catalogue and their song-writing ability. To watch the show, head to the Surf Club 69 Hastings St, Noosa.
