Formed on a whim by a group of bored art students in search of free drinks, Australia’s prankish Mental as Anything went on to forge a career spanning several decades, their tongues remaining planted firmly in cheek throughout the duration of their existence.

Debuting in 1978, the Sydney-based group included singer/guitarist Reg Mombasa (born Chris O’Doherty), his bassist brother Peter O’Doherty, lead guitarist Martin Plaza, keyboardist Andrew “Greedy” Smith, and drummer Wayne Delisle.

Their first gig was held at a nearby hotel, with a pool table serving as a makeshift stage.

Their early shows proved surprisingly successful, and soon Mental as Anything had earned enough of a cult following to record a single, 1979’s “The Nips Are Getting Bigger”; it was a Top 20 hit down under, and when their debut LP, Get Wet, achieved similar success, the group was off and running.

We stock some awesome Mental As Anything prints.

Available in different sizes and printed on high quality 210gsm paper, you’ll find no unsightly pin holes, stains or creases.

In fact, they look like they could have come straight off the press from the original print run.

Will look fantastic framed on your man cave, office, bar or living room wall.
