Medicine Man

Medicine Man

Medicine Man is The Bamboos fifth album on Tru Thoughts. A revelatory, forward-looking
record, with guests including Aloe Blacc, Daniel
Merriweather and Megan Washington alongside the
powerhouse stylings of regular singer Kylie Auldist,
this stunning LP marks another twist in the tale for
Australias kings of the groove. Masterfully blending
blues, pop, soul and psychedelia influences with fresh
ideas and stellar performances, they have forged a
multi-layered pop sound they can truly call their own.
Bandleader Lance Ferguson and his Melbourne ninepiece
have come a long way since forming in 2001.
Initially inspired by the raw funk of the late 60s and
early 70s they were labelled one of the greatest funk
bands of our time. But while many would be happy to
just keep soaking up the praise, The Bamboos delight
in confounding and exceeding expectations. A
seasoned DJ and solo producer (aka BBC 6Music
Rebel Playlist winner Lanu), Ferguson's myriad
influences and passion for artistic progression ensure
each new release is a discovery for devout fans and
newcomers alike; and the wide ranging media
support over the last decade, from MOJO to Rolling
Stone and BBC Radio 2 to NPR, proves that The
Bamboos are much more than a great funk band
they are a great band. With the last LP, 4 (2010),
Ferguson hinted that The Bamboos had cut loose
from the retro labels; Medicine Man cements that,
and then some.
