30 ODD FOOT OF GRUNTS

In the 1980s, Russell Crowe and friend Billy Dean Cochran formed a band, Roman Antix, which later evolved into the Australian rock band 30 Odd Foot of Grunts (abbreviated to TOFOG). Crowe performed lead vocals and guitar for the band, which formed in 1992. The band released 'The Photograph Kills' EP in 1995, as well as three full-length records, 'Gaslight' (1998), 'Bastard Life or Clarity' (2001) and 'Other Ways of Speaking' (2003). In 2000, TOFOG performed shows in London, Los Angeles and the now famous run of shows at Stubbs in Austin, Texas which became a live DVD that was released in 2001, called Texas. In 2001, the band came to the US for major press, radio and TV appearances for the 'Bastard Life or Clarity' release and returned to Stubbs in Austin, Texas to kick off a sold-out US tour with dates in Austin, Boulder, Chicago, Portland, San Francisco, Hollywood, Philadelphia, New York City and the last show at the famous Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey. In early 2005, 30 Odd Foot of Grunts as a group had dissolved with Crowe feeling his future music would take a new direction.
