30 Odd Foot of GruntsIt's Russel Crowe's self-described Australian/lyrical/folk/blues-based/country/rock band! Most of you know Russel Crowe from such blockbusters as Virtuosity and...well thats about it, really. According to his profile, he is but 9 and a half years old, but don't be fooled! He's actually quite older!!!!!!!!1

Virtuosity? Don't forget that he won the Best Actor Oscar for Gladiator, which won Best Picture this year.

Russell sez "westy" means west auckland. But I live in Tauranga, and I know what it means.

Sawks: hehehe. I remember when that story was new. Unfortunately, I have it on good authority that it's entirely true.

Yeeks.

Coincidentally, friends of mine heard an impromptu rendition of a new song by the band; it featured Russ singing, drunkenly, a tune that had the phrase "I am the greatest actor in the world" in the chorus. I shit you not.

What "good authority" could you have? I must know.
