Chocolate Starfish, one of Australia’s most successful bands of the 1990s is back and working on new material.
Widely regarded as the best live band of their era, Starfish arrived smack bang in the middle of grunge and refused to fit the mould. It was all about great music and putting on a killer show. No shoe gazing for these rockers. Entertainment, theatre and melodrama. Led by vocalist Adam Thompson, a Chocolate Starfish gig is like a crazed aerobic session. Tickets available on Ticketmaster soon!!Doors Open from 8pm
A popular urban myth concerns a group of art students who passed themselves off as a band in order to con the local publican into giving them a gig in exchange for free beer. The deception worked better than intended, and the group came to be known as Mental as Anything. Nearly three decades later, they are still irritating the public with their highly listenable, idiosyncratic brandof garage pop.
A self‐explanatory single to reflect their success, The Nips Are Getting Bigger, rose through the charts as did their fundamental understanding of the old adage that 'for every action there is a reaction'. Ahead lay a very lengthy pub crawl which only the accomplished could survive.Doors Open from 8pm
