DARYL BRAITHWAITE

When EDGE was released in November 1988 by Sony Music Australia, it made a beeline for the top of the ARIA Album Charts where it stayed for three weeks through early 1989. Almost two years to the day after RISE appeared, it went on to become the highest selling album in 1991, selling over 300,000 copies and garnering accolades. The title track Rise and Higher Than Hope were highlights, but it was his interpretation of Rickie Lee Jones’ The Horses that has gone on to become his signature song and one of Australia’s most loved anthems. These timeless gems added to Daryl’s cannon of uplifting classics including One Summer and As The Days Go By, as well as the countless tracks from his time as frontman ofSherbet including Summer Love, Howzat and Cassandra, just to name a few.
Now 68 years young, Daryl says he feels he’s had a blessed life and career and this latest chapter might just be the greatest blessing of all. Showing no signs of slowing down, Daft Punk recently sampled The Sherbs’ We Ride Tonight. November will see the release of The Definitive Greatest Hits Collection DAYS GO BY.

MENTAL AS ANYTHING

A popular urban myth conjures 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. A self-‐explanatory single to reflect their success, The Nips Are Getting Bigger, rose through the charts rooting their music and their satirical, good-‐time image deeply in the milieu of Australian suburbia.
It was in 2009 when Mental As Anything were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame.
40 years of recording and touring and the show goes on. A fresh 5 track EP release titled MENTAL AS ANYTHING -‐ 5 TRACK EP sees the iconic band in high demand, performing to fans old and new, nationally andinternationally with their unmistakable unique sound.
