    i heard their album when it came out and it didn't do much for me but they seem like a band that needs to be seen live to be fully appreciated.

    I love the Bamboos. Reminds me I need to cop their live album.

    They are fantastic live, but I also really enjoy their records. I've played out heaps of their material and it always gets a good response.

    All I've got from them right now is their version of Tighten Up, but after watching that first video I want to cop the album. Would love to see them live.

    Their second record really did it for me with a few more guest appearances and a slightly more dirtier deep funk sound rather than their first effort which was quite a polished sound. i reckon anyway...

    b,121b,121That's all I have too, but what a great 45 that is. Looks like I need to seek out the rest of their stuff.

    liked their first two albums plus the 45s but the last one sounds a bit like pop to me sometimes.b,121b,121but the cover art is dope indeed:b,121b,121
