The Bamboos - This Is How You Do It

This Is How You Do It is the eleventh studio album by Australian funk and soul band The Bamboos, released in November 2023 via Pacific Theatre and BMG.

The Bamboos are an Australian funk and soul band from Melbourne, formed in 2000 by New Zealand born producer, guitarist and songwriter Lance Ferguson.

This Is How You Do It shows that the nine piece Melbourne funk & soul trailblazers continue to evolve even after 23 years together as a band.

The album contains some surprise turns, such as the boogie / disco tinged first single “Ex-Files” featuring the band’s longtime vocalist Kylie Auldist, and features guest MCs from the US (Ozay Moore and Ohmega Watts) and New Zealand (KINGS). Also guesting on two tracks is Melbourne vocalist Reginald AK, who just happens to be the Kylie’s son.

What might sound on paper to be a new direction for the band makes total sense once you recognise the trademark combination of Lance Ferguson's soul powered production style, their effortless groove and Kylie Auldist's incredible voice.

This album is on compact disc housed in a digipak cardboard gatefold sleeve, pressed in Australia via Pacific Theatre and BMG.
