About Me

40 Footsteps
this music is *different*

Together for 5 years, 40 footsteps, a true garage band, have been writing, recording and practicing in a garage which they have now come to regard as family.

Their sound is an reprehensible amalgamation of the velvety smooth grooves of bassman Mitch Crum, the mathematical precision drumming of Fletcher Charlton, the mincing solos of guitarist Anthony Ursino, the painful melodies and excruitating solos of pianist and guitarist Isaac Hayward and finally, declared as musical insanity thanks to the prowess and ocassional nudity of frontman Matt Leslie. This band is not afraid to cross boundaries and is prepared to play anything in order to win you over.

Whilst this bio may make out that this band plays nothing but hideous hisses of hispanic horsecrap, they somehow manage to pull it all together to form music that is interesting, whilst still being musically tasty...

So before you undoubtedly go to heaven, come to musical hell. Trust me, they do good lobster and the music is even better.

For bookings call Rick Powell on 43 894422 or 0414 435848.
