+ Special Guest Rita Satch

Funk / Soul powerhouse The Bamboos are taking it to the stage for a series of special shows every Thursday in October at The Night Cat.

Each night will be a different set list and theme - they’ll be diving into deep cuts from our ten albums, plus they’ll be debuting their all-new 11-piece line up, with a brand new backing vocal section in the mix.

Oct 5 is all about “The Breaks”…Hip Hop just celebrated its 50th Birthday, so in honour of this milestone they’ll kick off the residency with some uptempo beat-heavy business aimed squarely at the Night Cat dancefloor. They’ll announce each week’s theme the Friday before, so hold tight.

The Night Cat holds a special place in The Bamboos history, as they played their first ever shows there back in 2000. Guitarist and founder Lance Ferguson recalls: “I had the idea to put a band together that was inspired by a more stripped-back, raw approach to Funk. At the same time (Melbourne Music legend) Henry Maas approached me for a season of gigs at his venue The Night Cat, and so The Bamboos were born...I always call it our spiritual home”.

The Bamboos recently released the track “Ex-Files” ahead of their 11th studio album ‘This Is How You Do It’
