Kylie moved to Melbourne to pursue her musical ambitions, where she joined and performed with a variety of funk bands over the next seven years, playing stacks of gigs, festivals and also TV appearances on Good Morning Australia (with Aussie icon Bert Newton, who we Brits may not know, but lots of old ladies in Oz do!).
While in Melbourne, Kylie hooked up with kings of funk The Bamboos and provided stunning guest vocals on their acclaimed album, “Rawville” for Tru Thoughts. The Bamboos and Kylie Auldist toured Australia and beyond, landing on the fair shores of Brighton, UK, in 2007, where Tru Thoughts snapped Kylie up after being bowled over by her spectacular and charismatic performance.
Kylie signed to Tru Thoughts for multiple albums, and her debut single “Community Service Announcement” was released on 28th April 2008, followed by the album, “Just Say”, on 26th May. A heady mix of Kylie’s distinctive and soulful vocals and the flawless, funk-fuelled production of Bamboos’ main-man Lance Ferguson, “Just Say” created a buzz immediately and was dubbed “the sound of the summer” by many. In the UK Mark Lamarr (BBC Radio 2) declared it “one of the best albums of the year”. Further afield, tracks from the album have gained national radio playlisting in France and Kylie’s native Australia.
Kylie Auldist and The Bamboos will be embarking on a UK and European tour in October-November 2008 (dates tbc).

No Use
Kylie Auldist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why don't you wait in the queue?
The bounces always know your name
I heard those girls you've been seeing,
and all the clubs were you've been,
and everybody knows your game
Why don't you answer your phone?
I don't like to bitch and moan
You're going on about her,
and from what i've heard,
you're having trouble acting your age
I've got no use for you
You've only got yourself to blame
I've got no use for you
And now i know you feel the same
I'm tired of thinking 'bout you
I'll never wait in the queue
now everybody knows my name
Don't look me in the eyes
you missed out on the prize
all of your excuses were lame
Next time you're flowing around
when i'm out on the town
you can look but
don't you touch
I'll be wearing that dress
revenge is sweet success
I guess you never cared that much
I never figured in your long term plan ,
that i'd find
you were nothing but a wrong term and I
wasted my time
I've got no use for you
You've only got yourself to blame
I've got no use for you
Now i know you feel the same
Got no use, no use for you…
Only got yourself, only got yourself to blame…
I got no use for you…
The lyrics of Kylie Auldist's song No Use depict a situation where the singer is fed up with a lover who has been unfaithful and dishonest. The singer points out that the lover has been seeing other people while they were together, going to clubs, and everyone knows about their promiscuity. The singer is annoyed that the lover doesn't answer their phone, and they were seen together with another woman backstage. The singer is tired of thinking of the lover and decides to move on from the relationship. They threaten the lover not to touch them at any time, and they will be wearing a dress when they meet again for revenge. The chorus repeats the line that the singer has no use for the lover, and they are to blame for their actions.
The song has been included in various albums such as Just Say by Different Records, Still Life by Tru Thoughts, and Family Ranks by Freestyle Records. No Use has also been popularly covered by The Bamboo's and The Heavy. The song's popularity earned it a place in the soundtrack of movies, including The Heat and the series, Suits.

I see her smiling at you
Why don’t you wait in the queue?
