The Monkeys work takes to ABC
The Monkeys has teamed up with Bombora Film & Music Co to release documentary: Mambo: Art Irritates Life. The one-hour ABC documentary special tells the story of how a group of comical and contrarian troublemakers and misfits became Australia’s most popular art collective of the 80s and 90s. Back in the days when artwork could get you into trouble, Mambo began in a garage in inner Sydney, and 15 years later their brand of piss-taking and irreverent humour made it the obvious choice to represent Australia on the world stage at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Mambo: Art Irritates Life is set to air on the ABC, Tuesday 8 November at 9.30pm.

The ACMA’s revised approach has been developed in response to a request by the minister for communications to prioritise planning for AM to FM conversions in certain smaller regional radio markets where reasons to hold back do not apply.
