1. A Deep Funk outfit active from 2001 onwards.
2. An Alternative Rock outfit active from 1984 to 1987.

1. The Bamboos are masters of super-heavy, raw and upfront drum-break driven grooves. 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.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Bamboos's song The Wilhelm Scream express confusion and doubt about the singer's dreams and love life. The repeated phrase "I don't know about my dreams" and "I don't know about my lovin" suggest a feeling of uncertainty and lack of direction. However, the singer seems to accept their situation and embraces the fall, turn, and love they experience. It is almost as if the singer feels powerless and has no other choice but to accept what is happening to them.

The song's lyrics convey a sense of surrender to fate, as if the singer has given up trying to control their life and is willing to let go and see where they land. This is emphasized by the repetition of "fallin," "lovin," and "turnin," along with the line "might as well" that appears throughout the song. The singer's reluctance to fully commit to their feelings is also reflected in the line "I don't know about my lovin anymore," suggesting a sense of confusion and uncertainty about their emotions.

Heard this in a coffee shop. It's sticking with me... not sure why, not really my type of music usually, but I cannot stop coming back to it. Well done Bamboos. Well done.
