Mental as Anything will headline Zoo Grooves this October long weekend, Saturday 2 October 2010 at Taronga Western Plains Zoo.  Besides the Mentals, Zoo Grooves promises to be a fun-filled day out with something for every member of the family including activities for children such as face painting, craft and a reptile show.  Mental as Anything has been together for nearly two decades and are still delighting audiences with their popular, idiosyncratic brand of garage pop.  Zoo Grooves, now in its third year, has broad appeal with lots of entertainment, food and drink. The Grooves Bar will be open for the adults while there will be plenty of free activities to keep the kids entertained.   The event will kick off at 2pm with gates open for event-goers from 1pm.  Last entry into Zoo Grooves is 4pm.  Proceeds from this year’s event will support the Zoo’s Sumatran Tiger conservation program.  Stay tuned for more information soon.
