'4' IS HERE!!!!
It's the long-awaited next installment in the ongoing evolution of Australia's finest Funk & Soul band. The brand-new Bamboos album '4' is out now!
Here's what the tastemakers are already saying:
"No doubt in my mind this is the best thing they've done! There's a big challenge facing a lot of Funk bands this year, and that is having explored most avenues of the late 60's sound where do they go from there? This album in a lot of ways shows them the way to go" - CRAIG CHARLES 'THE FUNK & SOUL SHOW' BBC6 (U.K)
"They are the tightest Funk act in the world...I would have stopped giving them the album of the week spot if they didn't keep pushing the bar higher than anyone on the scene." - TIM RITCHIE ABC RADIO NATIONAL (AUST) Album Of The Week 6th April 2010
"Love the new Bamboos..." - HARRY SHEARER (KCRW, NPR Worldwide, The Simpsons, Spinal Tap)
"The eleven dancefloor gems easily compete with James Brown - The Godfather of Funk and turn every club into a Finnish sauna within minutes" - PLAYBOY MAGAZINE (GERMANY)
"They are about as good as it gets.. " - MARK LAMARR BBC RADIO 2 (U.K)
"A first class gem...A classic is born!" - BLUES & SOUL MAGAZINE (U.K)
"The new Bamboos is Huge!" - LAURENT GARNIER (FRANCE)
"Beautiful examples of killer modern Funk!" - ASHLEY BEEDLE (U.K)
"The Bamboos greatest attribute is the way they combine the deepest, truest love for the full range of old school funk & soul styles...yet still sound themselves very much of the here & now. You can't really overstate the value of doing the first wave innovators proudly while moving so comfortably in the post millennium." - DUSTYGROOVE (U.S)
Pick '4' up now from ETCHSHOP , iTUNES or at your favourite record store!
