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. The show last for an hour and half which finished at around 9.45pm and they had Cd's on sale after the show and also l saw my friend Michael from the gigs which we got talking about the upcoming shows as well as seeing Monica Walker (ex St Andrews staff member) whom i had not seen since leaving St Andrews on February 11th this which she is well and liking her new job and also my other friend from the gigs Leigh who i had not seen since the Vince Melouney show @ Twin Towns last year on Wednesday August 11th. greedy and Martin came out which i got autographs and photos with them and it was an FANTASTIC show which i look forward to seeing them again and if anyone wants to see them live go to mentals.com.au
