Biography
2000–2005: Formation and early releases
The Bamboos were formed in 2000[1] in Melbourne, Australia by New Zealand-born producer/guitarist/songwriter, Lance Ferguson. The initial line-up consisted of Ferguson, Ben Grayson on Hammond organ, Stuart Speed on bass and Scott Lambie on drums. The band's first live performances were at The Night Cat in Fitzroy, Victoria, where over an evening they would play three sets of instrumental material drawn from artists such as The Meters, James Brown, Grant Green, Ivan 'Boogaloo Joe' Jones and Reuben Wilson.[citation needed]
In 2001 The Bamboos released their debut 7" single containing the original songs "Eel Oil" and "Blackfoot", earning them international acclaim from UK Deep Funk DJs Keb Darge, Snowboy, Mr Scruff, Patrick Forge and Russ Dewbury.[citation needed]
The Bamboos second release was a remix for a side project of UK artist, Quantic called "The Limp Twins". It was released as a 7" B-side on the Brighton-based UK label Tru Thoughts in 2003. By this point, Scott Lambie and Stuart Speed had left the band to be replaced by drummer Jamie Jones and current bassist Yuri Pavlinov. A horn section consisting of Ross Irwin (The Cat Empire) on Trumpet and Bruce Sandell on Tenor Sax & Flute expanded the line up to a six-piece.
In 2004, the Bamboos released the single, "Tighten Up"/"Voodoo Doll". Both Jamie Jones and Bruce Sandell left the band in 2004 to be replaced by Daniel Farrugia and Tenor Saxophonist Anton Delecca.[citation needed]
In November 2004 the band toured Australia and New Zealand with U.K artists Quantic and Alice Russell, performing as a substitute backing band for Will Holland's regular The Quantic Soul Orchestra line up.
A chance meeting between Lance Ferguson and label A&R Rob Luis in a Brighton club (where Ferguson was able to hand Luis a demo of new material) led to The Bamboos being signed to his Tru Thoughts label full-time in 2005.[citation needed]
In late 2005 the band embarked on a second tour of Aus/NZ with (now label mates) The Quantic Soul Orchestra, Alice Russell. Russell would record two vocal tunes during this time for the bands upcoming full-length debut album.
2006–2009: Step It Up, Rawville and Side-Stepper
The Bamboos debut studio album, Step It Up, was released by Tru Thoughts in 2006. The 11-track album included 9 instrumentals and two vocal tracks featuring Alice Russell. Step it Up received positive reviews within the Funk/Soul scene and enabled the band to embark upon their first headline Australian, U.K and European tour that year.[citation needed]
The Bamboos live show had evolved by this time into a non-stop "live mix"-style set where each song segued into the next. It was a format influenced by artists such as James Brown and Breakestra.[citation needed] The album title track "Step It Up" gained visibility with its use in high-rating U.S TV shows Greys Anatomy and Ugly Betty.[citation needed] Melbourne vocalist Kylie Auldist officially joined the band full-time in 2006 debuting on stage at Meredith Music Festival.[citation needed]
In 2007, The Bamboos released their second studio album Rawville, which marked a stylistic move towards more vocal-based material and featured vocalists Kylie Auldist, Tyra Hammond, Fallon Williams and Ohmega Watts. Rawville was described by UK-based IDJ Magazine as "arguably the best funk album of the modern era".[citation needed] The band embarked on another tour that encompassed Australia and Europe.
In 2008, The Bamboos released their third studio album, Side-Stepper. The album included contributions from guest vocalists Megan Washington, Paul Macinnes and TY. Side-Stepper featured the singles "King of the Rodeo" and "I Can't Help Myself", which was nominated in the "Blues & Roots Work of the Year "category in the APRA Music Awards of 2010. Original band member keyboardist Ben Grayson left the band at this point and was replaced by Dustin Mclean.
Later in 2008, The Bamboos released a live album, Listen! Hear! The Bamboos Live!, compiled from shows during a week-long residency supporting The Cat Empire at The Metro Theatre in Sydney.[citation needed]
2010–2014: 4, Medicine Man and Fever in the Road
In 2010, The Bamboos released their fourth studio album, 4. Kano Hollamby produced the album cover artwork which depicts the band looking out of framed boxes, and two video clips were produced for the album's opening singles. UK's Blues & Soul Magazine called it "Simply Stunning" and "an Instant Classic".[citation needed] Once again, the band supported the album with an Australian and European tour. The song "On the Sly" was later used in a scene of the hit U.S movie Crazy, Stupid, Love. "You Ain't No Good" featured on the U.S TV show Hellcats.[citation needed]
In 2012, The Bamboos released their fifth studio album, Medicine Man. The album consisted of 12 vocal tracks, featuring Kylie Auldist and guests including Aloe Blacc, Daniel Merriweather, Tim Rogers, Megan Washington, Bobby Flynn and Ella Thompson (the latter who would join the band as a full-time member in the same year). Current drummer Graeme Pogson replaced Daniel Farrugia in 2011. Medicine Man peaked at number 28 on the ARIA Charts. The album's lead single "I Got Burned" was the band's most commercially successful single to date, gaining crossover success with airplay on commercial stations such as Triple M and Nova and featured in the opening scene of successful Australian TV show House Husbands. The song would later rank at No. 54 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2012. Medicine Man would go on to receive three ARIA Music Awards nominations at the ARIA Music Awards of 2012. They recorded a cover version of the Rolling Stones' "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" for Mojo Magazine (U.K) and released the free four-track EP Live at the Metro through their Facebook page in November 2012.[2]
In late 2012, Ferguson rented a studio in the inner Western Melbourne suburb of Yarraville, where he co-wrote a new record with Thompson and Auldist. The album was co-produced with longtime Bamboos studio and live engineer John Castle, and had a dense, layered and 'darker' sound. Ferguson cited influences including the music of Stereolab, Beck and Tame Impala. Keyboardist Simon Mavin performed on the album, but would leave the band shortly after due to the burgeoning success of his group Hiatus Kaiyote.[3] Luke Saunders joined on keyboards in mid-2013.[citation needed]
In November 2013, The Bamboos released their sixth studio album, Fever in the Road on Lance Ferguson's own label Pacific Theatre. The album peaked at number 41 on the ARIA Charts. Upon released, Ferguson stated in the press "The last record was so guest heavy that I felt compelled to make a record like this...I'm certainly not ruling out collaborating with other people in the future, but I just felt that the right thing to do now was to make the musical statement that this is the sound of The Bamboos."[citation needed][1]
Between recording Fever in the Road and its release, the band embarked upon a national Australian tour with vocalist Tim Rogers called The Rock 'n Soul Medicine Show. The tour capitalised upon the success of the "I Got Burned" single and also included re-arrangements of some You Am I (Rogers' band) songs alongside several new originals penned by Ferguson and Rogers. The two would continue their musical partnership in 2013 working on the Foxtel Studio Channel TV show Studio at the Memo, a music-oriented variety show with Rogers hosting and Ferguson acting as Musical Director.[citation needed]
In mid-2014, Ella Thompson left the band to pursue her solo career and other projects. "Avenger" was nominated at the APRA Music Awards of 2014 in the Blues & Roots Work of the Year category. Fever in the Road was nominated for Best Blues & Roots Album at the ARIA Music Awards of 2014.
2015–2016: The Rules of Attraction and The Best of the Tru Thoughts Years
A full collaborative album with Tim Rogers entitled The Rules of Attraction was released on Atlantic Records on 22 May 2015. Recorded at both at The Shed Studios and Lance Ferguson's home studio, the album featured twelve songs co-written by Rogers and Ferguson.[citation needed] The album peaked at number 26 on the ARIA Charts. The album received 4-star reviews from Rolling Stone Magazine, The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald.[citation needed]
The Bamboos followed on from an Australian national tour in June with performances as house band on the ABC TV 'Saturday Night Crack Up TV Special hosted by Eddie Perfect, and the AFL Grand Final Eve Special Broadcast for Triple M.[citation needed] Celebrating the 15th Anniversary of the band, an official birthday show happened on 18 September 2015 to coincide with The Northcote Social Club's 10th anniversary. Guests on stage on the night included Remi, Bobby Flynn and previous Bamboos drummer Daniel Farrugia.[citation needed]
In November 2015, a compilation album The Best of the Tru Thoughts Years was released to coincide with the 15th anniversary of the band. "Easy" was nominated for Blues & Roots Work of the Year category at the APRA Music Awards of 2016.
2017–2019: Night Time People and By Special Arrangement
In 2017, Lance Ferguson released his debut solo album Raw Material, while several band line-up changes occurred, with tenor saxophonist Damon Grant joining after Anton Delecca moved to New York. Keyboardist Luke Saunders also left and was replaced by Daniel Mougerman. Percussionist Phil Binotto joined in 2017 to expand the group to a 9-piece lineup.[citation needed]
In November 2017, the band released a cover version of The Easybeats hit "I'll Make You Happy", featuring vocalist Montaigne, as part of various artists' Easybeats tribute Rebeat.[4]
On 20 February 2018, The Bamboos released their first new original music in nearly three years with the single "Lit Up", which was accompanied by a video clip directed by Chris Nelius. The song was mixed by the legendary recording engineer Bob Clearmountain. The band secured the opening support slot for Robbie Williams' Heavy Entertainment Show Australian Tour, performing to their largest audiences ever in arena concerts in the countries capital cities.[citation needed] On 6 July 2018, The Bamboos released their eighth studio album Night Time People, which received a 5-star reviews from U.K's Daily Mirror and Blues & Soul Magazine. The Age called it "instantly addictive" and Rolling Stone proclaimed its "undeniable Soul charms".[citation needed]
The Bamboos spent the beginning of 2019 in the studio recording their 9th studio album. The first single from the new album was an orchestral ballad take on the song "I Never" featuring Dan Sultan on vocals (originally performed by Daniel Merriweather on the Medicine Man album). It was premiered on Double J. The next singles "Stop" and "I Got Burned" were accompanied by live performance video clips filmed in a church hall in Carlton. By Special Arrangement was released on 2 August 2019. It featured eight newly recorded orchestral re-works of previously released songs, along with two new cover versions. Long-time band member Ross Irwin (trumpet) arranged the material. It was launched with a live performance at Melbourne Recital Centre with the band accompanied by a 10-piece string section. Beat Magazine in their review of the show proclaimed that "The Bamboos are quickly becoming national treasures of the Australian music industry".
2020–present: Hard Up
In October 2019 the band had set up recording equipment in a country house in the Victorian town of Lancefield, spending seven days recording the bulk of the material that would become their tenth studio album Hard Up. The album was slated for release in mid-2020 to coincide with The Bamboos' 20th Anniversary, but the COVID-19 pandemic halted all touring opportunities throughout the year and the album release was subsequently pushed back to 2021. Between the ensuing two extended Melbourne lockdowns the group recorded additional material for the record. The band released three singles during 2020, including the album's title track "Hard Up", which featured a video clip shot during lockdown at each separate band members home.
To celebrate their 20th Anniversary a special 2x7" gatefold vinyl single featuring four back catalogue songs was released on 29 August as an official Record Store Day 2020 release.
11 March 2021 marked a return to the stage with two performances alongside The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra at Hamer Hall in Melbourne. The group played songs from across their two decade-long career, arranged by band member trumpeter/arranger Ross Irwin and featuring the full 50-piece orchestra. Tim Rogers performed "I Got Burned" on the second night. A live-streamed show from The Corner Hotel followed in mid-April.
The 'Hard Up' album was released on 7 May 2021 on Pacific Theatre/BMG. Its eleven tracks marked a stylistic shift back to the Bamboos's earlier Deep Funk and Soul influences. Kylie Auldist performed vocals on seven songs and guest vocalists Durand Jones, Joey Dosik and Ev Jones performed on the remaining three tracks. Blues & Soul U.K gave it a 4-star review and Echoes called it "One of their best". It was feature album on PBS 106.7FM and went to #1 on the Australian iTunes Soul/R&B chart upon release. The album debuted at the #13 position on the official ARIA Charts Vinyl Albums Chart during its first week of release.
In August 2021 an official Deluxe Edition of the 'Hard Up' album was announced, which will include 6 previously-unreleased songs recorded during the 2019 "Lancefield Sessions".
