Led by Guitarist Lance Ferguson (Equatorial Records/Lanu/No Comply), other members include Ben Grayson (Hammond Organ), Danny Farrugia (Drums), Yuri Pavlinov (Bass), Anton Delecca (Sax/Flute) and Ross Irwin (Trumpet). The Bamboos formed in 2001 and released the 7” single ‘Eel Oil/Blackfoot’, earning them international acclaim from the likes of Snowboy, Mr Scruff, Jazzanova, Patrick Forge and Russ Dewbury. Their next release ‘Tighten Up/Voodoo Doll’ was picked up by Kenny Dope (Masters At Work) and Keb Darge (Legendary Deep Funk) for their U.S-based imprint Kay-Dee Records. Making their home at Tru Thoughts records (home to Quantic and Alice Russell) in 2005, The Bamboos debut album ‘Step it Up’ looks set to bolster their reputation as heavy players in the global Funk scene. In 2004 and 2005 The Bamboos toured Australia and New Zealand alongside Quantic and Alice Russell to universal acclaim. The Bamboos live shows have evolved into non-stop mixtape-style throwdowns that draw the links between Hip Hop, Funk and old-school Breaks. The Bamboos have supported international artists including: Keb Darge (UK) Moloko (UK) Mathew Herbert (UK) Dynamo productions (UK) Derrick Carter (USA) Patrick Forge (UK) Snowboy (UK) Jazzanova (GERM) Chris Lum (UK) Alice Russell (UK) Quantic (UK) Nextmen (UK) Russ Dewbury (UK) Steinski (USA) Guru (USA)
2. The Bamboos consisted of members Russel Hopkinson, Mark Gelmi, Craig Hallsworth, Greg Hitchcock. The band is chiefly remembered today for the number of ex-members who have gone to feature prominently in high profile Australian acts.

We gotta straight and after deal
It’s time to give me something real
You’d better put your toys away
You know that I’m not here to play
Something strange is in your eye
I don’t know what you’re seeing
In your mind
Today I’ve got to know
Why you’ve been stolen (stolen)
All the time
It’s me or do you lie?
I don’t know who you’re seeing
On the sly
Today I’ve got to know
Who you’ve been calling (calling)
Did you Sly?
You gotta put it on the line
Not just a nickel or a dime
You’d better hear the words I say
You know that I’m not here to play
Something strange is in your eye
I don’t know what you’re seeing
In your mind
Today I’ve got to know
Why you’ve been stolen (stolen)
All the time
It’s me or do you lie?
I don’t know who you’re seeing
On the sly
Today I’ve got to know
Who you’ve been calling (calling)
Did you Sly?
Something strange is in your eye
I don’t know what you’re seeing
In your mind
Today I’ve got to know
Why you’ve been stolen (stolen)
All the time
It’s me or do you lie?
I don’t know who you’re seeing
On the sly
Today I’ve got to know
Who you’ve been calling (calling)
Did you Sly?
