Once upon a time, a group of art students passed themselves off as a band 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 becoming known as Mental as Anything.

Four decades later, the band’s still captivating the public with its highly listenable, idiosyncratic brand of garage pop. To celebrate the anniversary of its first release, Mental as Anything Play at Your Party, the band has released the seven-track EP on vinyl and a brand new 40-minute, high-definition, multi-camera film to celebrate the milestone.

Make sure you check out Mental as Anything at Soundlounge on July 19 for a night of groovy tunes!
