After many requests we’ve pressed up our first single of 2020 on dinked DJ friendly 7” in a custom designed sleeve.
On the B-side is a cover of the 1989 Black Box Italo House classic “Ride On Time”. Yes, you read that right. And as a special treat for the heads this track is coming out first on vinyl! These are already selling fast, so be quick!
It’s hard to think of a better way to mark our 20th anniversary than playing some of our best loved songs with the world renowned Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. There will be two COVID safe performances on March 12 and 13.
“Having the opportunity to perform our music on stage with the full Melbourne Symphony Orchestra at Hamer hall is really the stuff that dreams are made of. After such a challenging 2020 in Melbourne I feel like these hometown shows are going to be extra cathartic for all involved and so rest assured we’ll be pulling out ALL the stops.” Lance
These times we’re all living through are without precedent - and the challenges big and small sometimes seem like they just keep stacking up.
Right now all we can offer you is our goodwill and our music - but we hope that in some small way it might help smooth the road a little, and we can’t wait to be together with you again when the time is right x
We’re excited to release our second Bamboos single of 2020. We plan to keep the new music flowing for you this year. Hope you’re digging it!
“I’ve been a long-time fan of Ev Jones’s soulful voice and the way he approaches making music in general. He’s full of life, energy, positive intensity and good humour - and we had nothing but fun working on this song together.” Lance
"The first time I met the Bamboos was in a tiny little bar in Shibuya in Tokyo. Little did I know one day I’d be back in Melbourne writing and recording a killer song with them. As a self taught (and semi late to the whole singing game) musician this is an absolute honour and dream come true to be featured on this joint.” Ev
The new Bamboos single “Hard Up” is out today! When Kylie and I wrote the song we had no idea of the upheaval the world would soon be going through, but it feels even more timely having it released now.
We managed to pull together a video shoot while still following the strict lockdown measures we went through here in Melbourne, thanks to the very creative Nick Rieve at Studio Kilogram. We hope you like it. There’s more in store for our 20th year, but releasing new music is the best way to kick it off!
To celebrate the release of the vinyl edition of ‘Runner’ by Lance Ferguson’s Machines Always Win project a new video for “LEM” has been released. The animated clip was made made by Ewen Farr. You can order the limited edition turquoise double LP now from here.
