"...All girls but there is no cliché 'girl band' thing about them!
It's their technical strength, great songs and a fantastic stage
presence that makes them potentially strong competitors for the Brits
'Best Newcomers Awards'

The band, Kim E Leon, M'Alice, Emma, and Linza are influenced by bands such as MGMT, Jimi Hendrix Experience, Flaming Lips, and The Beatles.

They merge psychedelic pop synths and blues guitars with sparkling vocals, and glorious Beachboys (or Beachgirls!) harmonies. Along with their catchy beats and magnetic melodies, they spread lovin, dancin and the word of MENTALISM wherever they go!

Having built up an army of hangover TV fans by finishing in the top 5 of Channel 4's mobileAct, the girls have gone on to play the summer festivals around Europe including Glastonbury 2008, Briancon Alps festival, La Nuit Blanche, and to support acts including
The Mystery Jets, Babyshambles, The Automatic, Ebony Bones and Kate Nash.

The Mentalists! have released one single independently,
"Don't Know What To Do (With You)."

The single is available on i-tunes here.
Limited edition pink vinyl has sold out.

A 4-track EP is due for release in February 2009.
