Underrated Aussie rock/new wave band originating in Sydney in the late 70's and peaking in the early 80's. Part of the legendary pub-band scene of the era.
Churned out many classic tracks including "The nips are getting bigger", "If you leave me, can I come to?", "Live it up" and "Too many times" to name just a few.
Known for incorporating wacky, self-deprecating humour and numerous drinking references into their songs. Comparable to American band Ween but with a vastly superior repertoire.
Also known as "The Mentals".
