One Step Behind tribute band are Europe's biggest tribute to Madness. The band have been established since 1993. They've performed on the BBC's Proms in the Park and Ant & Dec's Saturday Morning Show. Members of Madness have joined the boys on stage - sax player Lee Thompson describing them as being 'tight as a duck's arse'. Suggs at a gig at G-Mex even said at the microphone 'by the way, we're Madness not One Step Behind'.
Like Madness, One Step Behind are well known for their on-stage antics with which they build up an authentic 'Nutty' atmosphere. This is One Step Behind's philosophy - to carry forward the Mad mantle into the noughties and beyond.
