'This Is How You Do It' album out now on 2LP / CD / DIG


Bandleader Lance Ferguson and his nine piece Melbourne outfit The Bamboos have come a long way since forming in 2001. Initially inspired by the instrumental raw funk of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, they made waves internationally and were quickly labelled as one of the greatest funk and soul bands of our time. But while many would be happy to simply soak up the praise and keep on keeping on, The Bamboos have proven that they are more than meets the eye; over five acclaimed albums, their evolution in sound and style has consistently confounded and exceeded expectations, pulling the rug from under the feet of those who like to pigeonhole. 

The band signed to respected Brighton (UK) indie label Tru Thoughts in 2005, where they remain a cornerstone of the roster. Across their five studio albums to date - ‘Step It Up’ (2006), ‘Rawville’ (2007), ‘Side-Stepper’ (2008), ‘4’ (2010) and 'Medicine Man' (2012) – the metamorphosis of The Bamboos has been full of twists and turns, and it continues apace. A seasoned DJ, solo producer (aka Lanu) and all-round insatiable music obsessive, Ferguson's myriad influences and passion for pushing things forward ensure that each new release is a discovery for devout fans and newcomers alike.

Their fifth long-player ‘Medicine Man’, released in June 2012 was a watershed - a forward-looking record brimming with fresh ideas, stellar turns, classic songwriting and a brand of multi–layered pop they can truly call their own. Guest vocalists Aloe Blacc, Tim Rogers (You Am I), Megan Washington, Daniel Merriweather, Bobby Flynn, alongside resident singers Kylie Auldist and then newcomer Ella Thompson helped make the album their biggest at home to date. Lead single "I Got Burned" feat. Rogers was a sizeable radio hit, made it to #54 on radio station Triple J's Hottest 100 listeners poll (the biggest publicly voted song poll in the world) of the top songs of that year.

Like its predecessor, the band's sixth album 'Fever In The Road' was co-produced by ARIA- nominated, multi-instrumentalist studio wizard John Castle – whose work with the likes of Washington, Josh Pyke, Gossling, Pez and Kate Miller-Heidke has ranked him amongst the first-call producers in Australia. The new record (the first on Ferguson's own Pacific Theatre label) sees Castle and Ferguson venturing into sonic landscapes The Bamboos have previously touched on but never fully inhabited. There is a sense that the music is leaner and more muscular, yet upon closer inspection the tracks reveal themselves to be densely multi-layered in a 'Wall Of Sound' style. And it's this aural complexity and depth that allows darker moods to roam through the album, taking their sound to a new place. The songs career from the wondrously anthemic ('Avenger', The Truth', 'Rats', 'Jump My Train'), to the dreamy and psychedelic ('Looking West', 'Harbinger') and the darkly fragile ('Killing Jar', 'Before I Go'). Choosing this album to reflect the band as it is on stage, the vocals are split between Kylie Auldist and Ella Thompson. And each bring contrasting styles that complement each other magically, but show The Bamboos to be utterly unique.

Their songs have been regularly on playlists of national radio stations in Australia, the UK, France, the US, Japan and beyond. The unshakable charm of their songs has also seen them licensed to hit movies including Crazy Stupid Love, the soon to be released  Adore - Naomi Watts & Robin Wright. and TV shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, CSI New York, One Tree Hill, Ugly Betty and Australian shows such as Underbelly, House Husbands, Offspring, Packed To The Rafters.

Tai Verdes creates his own inimitable sound by combining high-spirited hip-hop, vibrant R&B, blissful soul, and much more. Growing up predominantly in Chicago, he instinctually gravitated towards music as a kid and found favorites in local icons such as Chance The Rapper and Kanye West, as well as Childish Gambino, Frank Ocean, and 50 Cent. After first recording, producing, and releasing music under the moniker of “tylersemicolon,” he formally established himself as Tai Verdes in 2020. He broke through on an international scale with the gold-certified “Stuck In The Middle,” which achieved a life of its own on TikTok and became one of The New York Times’ “Best Songs of 2020.” It paved the way for his 2021 full-length debut, TV, which yielded the gold-certified “Drugs” and sensational smash “AOK.” The latter notably picked-up 2x Platinum Certification in the U.S. and Canada, as well as a Platinum Certification in Australia. Later in the year, he performed to a crowd of over 35,000 at his first live show on the Lollapalooza Mainstage and sold out his first headline tour in just minutes. 2022 saw him capture another snapshot of his life with HDTV, highlighted by “last day on earth,” “Let’s go to Hell,” and “how deep?” Speaking to his evolution, Rolling Stone praised, “Needless to say, he’s an artist on the rise, and with some of the smoothest tracks going around, his appeal is understandable.” Meanwhile, his prolific virality was highlighted in a study done by The Pudding and Vox. His profile expanded on the road with the “HDTV Tour,” in addition to performances at iconic venues including none other than Madison Square Garden. 


In 2024, Tai enters a new musical era and holds nothing back on his third full-length LP, 4K 


“4K is an X-Ray of who I am right now,” he reveals. “Artistry is my tool for understanding myself, and each album is a period piece. I’m trying to stick close to real emotions and authenticity because that’s what my whole project is based on.” 


Ultimately, Tai’s vision is clearer than ever in 4K. 


“I just want everything to be bleeding edge,” he leaves off. “If I’m getting superpowers from listening, then I know for a fact that someone else will too.”
