The Bamboos - On The Sly, 12" Vinyl

Australia's finest, The Bamboos, are widely regarded as one of the best deep funk bands on the planet.  Having been championed from the outset by the likes of GarthTrinidad, Kenny Dope, Monk One, Bobbito Garcia, Mark Lamarr, Jeremy Sole, Kevin Cole and many other tastemakers, The Bamboos' albums consistently sell in the tens of thousands, and each one brings them to the attention of a new crowd. With regular guest vocalist Kylie Auldist (plus a first revelatory, falsettoed, Mayer Hawthorne-esque foray into singing by Ferguson himself on one number), The Bamboos delight in infusing the tight, instrumental dancefloor style they have nailed so perfectly with potent dashes of anything from Motown, Mod and boogie soul to straight-up, ballsy, vocal funk sass.
