Stepping on Mars

About Me

A fusion of Rock, Blues & Funk is the usual result when these guys crank up the amps. Their name is derived from the idea of looking at the world's big picture and taking the next logical step to Mars.... or at least hanging out there for a while. That and the notion of spacing out during their jams. Black Crowes meets Zeppelin by way of Sloan with a dash of the Chili Peppers could be one way of describing their sound.Solid Grooves, Tasty Riffs and fun times are what they set out to provide with their music.They hope to see you step out to a show soon....
