The Bamboos are a renowned Australian funk and soul band that have been captivating audiences since the early 2000s. Founded by Lance Ferguson, the group quickly established themselves as one of the leading forces in the global revival of funk, soul, and R&B, drawing comparisons to the instrumental sharpness of The Meters and the soulful vibes of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings. Over the years, The Bamboos have evolved their sound, seamlessly incorporating elements of modern pop and indie, which has led to a broadening of their audience and an enhancement of their signature sound.

Noteworthy in their expansive discography are releases like "This Is How You Do It" and "Power Without Greed," showcasing their ability to blend infectious grooves with poignant lyrics. Their work often features collaborations with a variety of vocalists, such as the soulful offerings in "Safe From Harm" featuring Reginald AK, and "Midlife Glow" featuring Ozay Moore, which exemplify their knack for dynamic partnerships. Albums like "Hard Up (Deluxe Version)" and the electrifying live performance "Live At Hamer Hall" highlight The Bamboos' tight musicianship and ability to captivate listeners, whether through recorded media or on stage. With each new release, The Bamboos reaffirm their status as pillars of modern soul and funk, continually pushing the boundaries of genre to create timeless music.
