The Bamboos never disappoint, and “Happy” is another example of the innovative and Funky sound they bring to the cipher:
Formed just in time for the 21st Century, The Bamboos took the Australian Funk/Soul sound and blasted it, and now they’re dropping all kinds of funky stuff, working with a range of musicians including Tim Rogers, Bobby Flynn, and Daniel Merriweather.
Of course, Australia has sourced some wicked Funk and Soul, such as Randa & the Soul Kingdom, who we love to feature.
A little background on The Bamboos from their website:
The Bamboos were included in the Melbourne Age’s prestigious ‘Top 100’ list of influential people in Melbourne city for 2008, and also voted Australia’s fourth best band in a poll by the same paper, just after AC/DC and ahead of well-known acts like Jet and Empire Of The Sun. While rising through the playlists on mainstream national radio stations in Australia, the UK, France, the US, Japan and beyond, The Bamboos have always held their appeal with the underground, gaining props from the likes of John Kennedy (XFM), Gilles Peterson (BBC R1) and Don Letts (BBC 6Music). The unshakable charm of their songs has seen them licensed to hit movies including Crazy Stupid Love, and TV shows such as Grey’s Anatomy (US), One Tree Hill (US), Ugly Betty (US) and Underbelly (AUS).
