The Bamboos are one of the highest profile soul / funk acts in Australia, and have been recognised worldwide as masters of reinventing the genre with modern songwriting within classic arrangements & production over the past 10 years. Theyve clocked up some impressive Spotify hits numbers on along the way: Wilhelm Scream (3.5 M), On The Sly (2.8 M), Helpless Blues (1.8 M)

Mainstay members Lance Ferguson and vocalist Kylie Auldist are also the creative forces behind one of 2016s biggest singles, This Girl by Kungs Vs Cookin On 3 Burners. Ferguson played on and co-wrote the song (incl that infectious guitar riff and lyrics) which along with Auldists powerhouse vocals. The remix went on to hit #1 in France, Germany, #2 in the UK, top 20 in Australia and the US and top 30 in 35 countries. Its edging close to half a billion Spotify plays and 300 million Youtube hits.
