Coming off the high of being the touring band for ALICE RUSSELL and QUANTIC these past 2 Australian tours, plus national airplay on TRIPLE J for their cover of "TIGHTEN UP" selling numerous copies of the "Stay On The Groove" compilation. Melbourne band THE BAMBOOS have gained the love and support of many fans here and overseas, including the good folk at TRU THOUGHTS label who have signed them. TRU THOUGHTS is one of the hottest labels around and on the strength of previous releases from ALICE RUSSELL, QUANTIC, QSO and NOSTALGIA 77, the fact that THE BAMBOOS are on this hot label automatically gives you an another reason to support this release. Included are exclusive tracks featuring Tru Thoughts vocalist Alice Russell and a cover version of UK Broken Beat anthem "Transcend Me" (originally by Afronaught). The sound is heavyweight funk influenced by The Meters, James Brown, Eddie Bo, Grant Green, Melvin Sparks, Jimmy Smith, Reuben Wilson, Boogaloo Joe Jones, Idris Mohummad and other funk originators from the late 1960s through the early 1970s.
