Wikipedia: Mental As Anything
are an Australian new wave/pop-rock band formed at an art school in
Sydney in 1976. Its most popular line-up (which lasted from
1977-1999) was Martin Plaza (birth name Martin Murphy) on vocals and
guitar; Reg Mombassa (birth name Chris O'Doherty) on lead guitar and
vocals; his brother Peter "Yoga Dog" O'Doherty onbass
guitar and vocals; Wayne "Bird" Delisle (birth name David
Twohill) on drums; and Andrew "Greedy" Smith on vocals,
keyboards and harmonica. Their original hit songs were generated by
Mombassa, O'Doherty, Plaza and Smith, either individually or
collectively; they also hit the Australian charts with covers of
songs by Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry.
Their top ten Australian singles
are "If You Leave Me, Can I Come Too?" and "Too Many
Times" (both from 1981), "Live It Up" (1985) and "Rock
and Roll Music" (1988). Internationally, "Too Many Times"
made the Canadian top 40 in 1982, and "Live It Up" peaked
at No. 3 in UK, No. 4 in Norway, and No. 6 in Germany, after it
featured in the 1986 Australian film "Crocodile" Dundee...
...Mental As Anything's music is
characterised by poppy, accessible and well-crafted melodies and
lyrics, and their work showcases an ironic, satirical and
self-deprecating sense of humour. They are a typically "Australian"
rock group, with their music and their satirical, good-time image
deeply rooted in the milieu of Australian suburbia, despite the fact
that two key members (the O'Doherty brothers) were in fact immigrants
from New Zealand. The group's art school background and visual design
skills also made them pioneers of the music video form in Australia
in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and their videos rank as some of
the funniest and most imaginative produced in Australia at that time.
Mental
As Anything is arguably comparable with contemporaneous British acts
Madness, Squeeze, XTC and Nick Lowe in that their classic pop meets
new wave music is typically delivered with a quirky, ironic sense of
humour and a decidedly local flavour.
