In 1976 guitarist Chris O'Doherty, (AKA Reg Mombassa), formed rock band Mental As Anything with four other art students.
Reg left the band 25 years later but not before they had produced 11 albums and 27 singles( with 20 entering the top forty) and having toured Australia, New Zealand, Canada, England, Europe, the United States and Asia.
Reg's artwork is renowned worldwide and he has had a close association with Mambo Graphics since 1986. He is now a member of the band Dog Trumpet with his brother Peter (also ex-Mentals) performing and recording original music.
