The last two of the six unreleased tracks are out today, completing the Deluxe Edition of The Bamboos 10th studio album, Hard Up.
Instrumentals “Wishbone” and “The Raft” featuring the amazing Kumar Shome on sitar complete the set of tracks from The Lancefield Sessions, recorded during the Hard Up sessions.
Honoured to be asked by Fender to take over their Instagram stories today for 24 hours!
And big thanks for hooking me up with the brand new Player Plus Stratocaster in Tequila Sunrise finish! Features like Player Plus Noiseless pickups, locking tuners, rolled neck edges and push-pull tone controls make this a players dream!
Today we’ve released two more tracks from the Hard Up recording sessions in Lancefield, Victoria. “Bad Line” is a Soul number where Kylie sings of being left hanging on the telephone and “The Red Door” is a strident horn lead instrumental.
Full Deluxe digital album our Dec 2 with six new tracks!
Third time must be the trick!
We are looking forward to joining the ever growing stellar and all Australian line up at the next East Coast Blues & Roots Festival in April 2022.
During the Hard Up recording sessions in Lancefield, Victoria we recorded way more music than ended up on the final album - from fully finished vocal tracks to instrumental interludes and spur of the moment late-night jams.
We decided that it wouldn’t be fair to leave these songs sitting on the shelf, so we’re going to share them with you two at a time over the coming weeks. It’s the ‘Hard Up’ Deluxe Edition…Enjoy!
“Piece Of Me” & “Reef Shark” are out now.
In March this year we had the supreme honour to perform our music with the 50-strong Melbourne Symphony Orchestra at the legendary Hamer Hall. After the unprecedented events of 2020, and the complete absence of live music during the time, the fact that we and the audience were all safely together in that room charged the air with high emotion - it was cathartic, euphoric and tearful. It really was something we’ll all never forget.
We’re so happy to announce that today we can share this performance with you in full courtesy of the MSO Live streaming platform, available worldwide. https://watch.mso.live
