• Several blasts from our musical past. A young H.G. Nelson presenting the "Mambo Battle of the Surf Bands" shield in the early 90s, the legendary Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters rock up to Studio Mambo for lunch and a few freebies and Johnny Rotten from the Pistols in a custom Mambo Loud Suit. #foofighters #johnnyrotten #royandhg #music #instagood #photooftheday #instadaily #mambo
  • Mambo's twin truck ambassador, @bradmcdermott has ditched his tee to battle the heat (clearly this was not taken today) but obviously hasn't given thought to the dreaded gravel rash. Either that or he doesn't plan on falling off. #skate #gravelrash #skating #mambo #instadaily #instagood #photooftheday #bradmcdermott
  • While some of us are staring at a computer screen all day, patching up broken sewerage pipes, or doing whatever it is you do to put food on the table, Mambo pro surfer and everywhere man, @blake_thornton is globetrotting the world's best surf breaks, living out all our day dreams. This one is from a secluded spot in Mexico, a few months ago. Photo: @juzzigrznar #mambo #mexico #surf #secret #instagood #instadaily #photooftheday
  • We thought it was time to celebrate another one of our wildly talented Mambo artists, Mr Blair Sayer. He likes to turn up on Fridays for the free beer and doesn't leave until we sweep him out on Monday. One of our very fave Aussie Kiwis. #art #mambo #artist #casualfriday #blairsayer #aussie #kiwi #instagood #instadaily
  • An Example was made of the stunning Erin @McNaughty, over the weekend when one of our elite Mambo Goddesses got hitched to Elliot Gleave (aka Example), the English rapper. We wish Mr and Mrs Gleave a brilliant life and look forward to what they call their offspring. Etc and ie. are apparently at the top of the list. @mambogoddess #example #married #erinmcnaught #rap #english #mambo
  • Swell is on it's way to the East Coast of Oz, the sun will be shining and the Billabong Pro Rio will kick back into action in a few hours. We have a great weekend ahead. Crack a beer (or beverage of choice), kick the feet up and suck the juice of life Melon Heads.

  • Mambo pro surfer, @blake_thornton is pretty comfortable falling into water. To test that notion, we pushed him in. To get the gear, check out our range for Big W Australia or The Warehouse New Zealand #mambo #water #ocean #falling #photooftheday #instadaily #instagood #blakethornton
  • @mambogoddess campaign teaser. We look forward to showing you more when the bloody photographer gets his head out of the way @jasonleeparry @realbarbarapalvin @ashleyjhart #mambogoddess #ashhart #barbarapalvin #jasonleeparry #venicebeach #goddess
  • Today, we thought we'd give props to a Mambo artist who has been absolutely killing it of late, @mistaprice. Piece after piece he continually blows our minds and we thought it was about time we gave him some online recognition. Travis, we love your work mate, keep up the epicness! #art #travisprice #mambo #instagood #instadaily #photooftheday #artist #epic
  • On the weekend, Mambo's newly signed grom, Ben Penny smashed the Volcom VQS Champs over in Gisborne, NZ. Ben finished 2nd with his best mate, Jamie Krupps taking it out for a 1-2 finish for Oz. The non-alcholic champagne never tasted so good! Shot by Harry Sweeney #winning #surf #volcom #mambo #vqs #instagood #instadaily #shotoftheday
  • Here at Mambo we are nothing if not contentious. We thought we’d wrap the week with a handful of graphic favourites that have also landed us in deep brown porridge over the years. A little something here for everyone, including that constantly circling shark, the copyright lawyer #mambo #redneck #paulinehanson #paperscissorsrock #forgivethemfather #art #copyright #instagood #instadaily #photooftheday #funny
  • Today, Team Mambo had a task on their hands. We were up early, coffees in hand and overly prepared to shoot our @kidmambo summer campaign. The problem with shooting a bunch of kids is that when you tell them to go bananaz, they do just that. It might seem like a great concept in theory but you try shooting a 6'1 gorilla and a bunch of groms hopped up on sugar. Complete bedlam! #bedlam #bananaz #goinbananaz #mambo #kidmambo #campaign #photography #instagood
  • Due to our marketing piggy bank running out of coins, we couldn't afford to fly Mambo artist, @leemcconnell to Broome to help @savethekimberley. Instead, we shot him with a broom and shipped a big pack of tees up to the crew in the Western Australia to sell and help raise funds for the fight. Get your "No Gas!" tee now from this link: http://stores.ebay.com.au/Save-The-Kimberley-STK?_trksid=p2047675.l2563 #savethekimberley #broome #gas #nogas #mambo #artist
  • The design team @mamboaustralia have just returned to Aus after a month long (bender) inspiration trip to the USA. Check out our Facebook page for the full gallery #inspiration #design #tripping #california #newyork #art #bender #mambo #mambogoddess
  • Regram from the gorgeous and ridiculously talented singer of @vanhoornmusic, @cheyennet in our Summer 11' @mambogoddess campaign shot in a snowing, and bone chilling NYC.
  • Congrats goes out to Mambo wonder boy, @leemcconnell who just took out the @tigerbeer #tigertranslate art battle. Now he's off to Vietnam to compete against the worlds best! #vietnam #artbattle #art #tigerbeer
  • In 1992 British art & culture magazine, @id_magazine asked Mambo to contribute a piece of art for an upcoming anti-fascist edition. Having a very low opinion of fascists ourselves we said, OK and then invited Reg Mombassa to dive into his pencil box and vent our spleen. The image proved so popular it was still selling a year later. #mambo #regmombassa #art #fascist #i-dmagazine #music #housemusic #poster
  • If you live on the east coast of Australia and you haven't checked your local surf forecast site, don't bother, it's gonna be flat. Instead, fill an esky with your essentials (beer, sandwiches, black market kidneys, what ever floats your boat), grab a few mates and head down to your local spot for a weekend of "pavement surfing". Get the Betadine ready though, because Skating isn't as forgiving as it's water based cousin. @bradmcdermott shot by Andrew Fawcett #skate #skater #park #mambo
  • #regram from @hairbarrels @blake_thornton in an epic #hairbarrel #mattsmith #doctorwho #humpday
  • Following on from our rich history of youth exploitation, Mambo is proud to announce an extra edition to our bulging surf team of 3, North Steyne Boardriders grom, @benpenny. Cheads, Blake and Quinny now have a permanent board de-waxer on all future surf trips. Photo by @blaisebell

THE MOST FUN YOU CAN HAVE WITH YOUR PANTS ON…..

Published December 5, 2011

 

Anyone can up-end half a flagon of Asti Spumante, whip off their tracksuit and run naked around the salad bar at their local leagues club bistro but the real challenge is to have fun while you’re still wearing a pair of pants, at least.

ART IRRITATES LIFE

Published June 17, 2011

Mambo Artists mess about

It’s a slow news day here at Mambo so we thought we’d pull out the family album. Here’s a shot of the crew doing what your parents warn you’ll be doing if you don’t do your homework, and stop taking drugs…
