last Friday night July the 8th I went to see the legendary Australian 80's pop group Mental As Anything at kedron Wavell which it was my 5th time seeing them as my first seeing them at the Hotel Carindale on Friday July 18th 2003. The show started @ 8.15pm which the group came on stage with temporary drummer as their current drummer Rob was not well and they put an FANTASTIC show as always doing all those famous hits as well as a few newer songs and 2 classic songs with Greedy doing the talking and having an great time as well as his funny sense of humor . Everyone was having an Great time singing along to those songs which still endures after 32 years when they had their first hit and the guys are just as great now as they have always been which every time I see them they just get better and better.
