2025 marks 25 years of Naarm/Melbourne funk and soul trailblazers The Bamboos. To celebrate, they’re releasing a deluxe compilation -The Bamboos Best - and hit
ting the road for some of their biggest Australian shows yet - joined by an expanded on-stage lineup.
For the Naarm/Melbourne show, The Bamboos take over Northcote Theatre on Saturday September 20 with special guest Kurt Rainbow, bringing late ‘70s jazz-fusion-meets-funk energy in a retro-futuristic wonderland. DJs Chris Gill (3RRR Get Down) and Miss Goldie (PBS Boss Action) will set the vibe, with the party continuing upstairs at the free afterparty featuring DJs Kano and Lance Ferguson. Tickets on sale now here.
From their raw deep funk beginnings to their genre-defying evolution, The Bamboos have reimagined a classic sound with fresh, contemporary fire - balancing groove, soul and powerful vocals for diehards and new fans alike.
The Bamboos Best is out now on Impressed Recordings - gatefold gold marble 2LP + CD featuring 20 tracks from across 12 albums, including rarities.
Tickets and info here.
Proudly supported by PBS.
