Niche Productions is proud to present The Bamboos, celebrating a decade of musical mayhem at The Prince Bandroom on Friday 14 January 2011, with special guests Electric Empire and DJs Pierre Baroni, Kano, Ennio Styles + Chris Gill.
The Bamboos are generally acknowledged as Australia’s greatest modern Funk & Soul band. Emerging from the ‘Deep Funk’ scene of the early-2000’s, The Bamboos have since forged a unique sound of their own, combining elements of Old-School Funk, Hip Hop, Mod Rock, Psychedelic & Northern Soul.
In the decade since their inception, The Bamboos have released 4 studio albums, a live album & 14 singles on esteemed U.K label Tru Thoughts. They have toured Europe three times and have appeared at some of the country’s biggest festivals including Falls Festival, Bluesfest, The St Kilda Festival, Parklife, Meredith, Golden Plains and Days Like This!
The 8-piece line-up led by guitarist Lance Ferguson (aka Lanu) and featuring the power-house vocals of Kylie Auldist are renowned for their blistering, high energy, live ‘mix-tape’-style sets which have kept people dancing all the way from Byron Bay to Bratislava.
Their most recent album ‘4’ debuted at number 1 on the Australian iTunes R&B/Soul charts as well as featuring on Triple J, ABC Radio National, NPR The World, BBC Radio 2 and BBC6.
For their 10th anniversary celebration, The Bamboos are putting on an extra special show featuring an assortment of guests from The Bamboos past and a set list that covers the full spectrum of their rich musical catalogue. Join us for a special night of Australian music history as one of the country’s most charismatic bands celebrates this momentous occasion.
