30 Od Foot of Grunts was actor Russell Crowe's musical band before he began a solo career in 2005. The name of the band comes from a phrase heard by Russell Crowe during post-production on the movie Virtuosity. Apparently, some Dubbing was required for a fight scene; since time is sometimes measured by length of film in the movie industry, Crowe was asked to provide the eponymous "30-odd foot of grunt". Another published story (Melbourne Herald Sun) of the name's origin, is that the combined height of the band members (literally 30 odd feet) and grunt referring to the 'grunt' in the band's music.
