Live It Up: The Mental As Anything Story

Brand new doco celebraing the iconic Aussie band!

In celebration of Mental As Anything’s headlining the upcoming 2026 Mullum Roots Festival, we’re thrilled to screen Live It Up: The Mental As Anything Story!

Live It Up is a feature documentary celebrating Mental as Anything, the art-school band whose irreverent humour, visual art and clever pop songs made them one of Australia’s most distinctive cultural forces. Following the release of Nips Are Getting Bigger in 1979, the Mentals rose quickly from inner-city Sydney pubs to national fame, becoming masters at capturing Australian suburban life with warmth, wit and playfulness. While success came fast, they never treated it with reverence.

Funny, warm and unexpectedly moving, Live It Up explores how Mental as Anything navigated fame, longevity and the pressures of the music industry while holding fast to their humour and creative spirit — revealing why their music continues to resonate today.

(With special filmed intro from Reg and Pete).
