+ Special Guest Emma Volard Show 2 will be an all Covers set.We&rsquo;ve made a habit of reinventing some of our favourite songs from the likes of Kings Of Leon, Frank Ocean, James Blake and even Black Box.Many of them have become crowd favourites so we know you&rsquo;re going to love this special one-off show! 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&rsquo;ll be diving into deep cuts from our ten albums, plus they&rsquo;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 &ldquo;The Breaks&rdquo;&hellip;Hip Hop just celebrated its 50th Birthday, so in honour of this milestone they&rsquo;ll kick off the residency with some uptempo beat-heavy business aimed squarely at the Night Cat dancefloor. They&rsquo;ll announce each week&rsquo;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: &ldquo;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&rdquo;. The Bamboos recently released the track &ldquo;Ex-Files&rdquo; ahead of their 11th studio album &lsquo;This Is How You Do It&rsquo; VINYL GIVEAWAYPurchase pre-sale tickets to any of the four The Bamboos residency shows and automatically go into the running to win a Vinyl Lovers Bundle, including their albums &#39;Hard Up&#39;, &#39;By Special Arrangement&#39; and &#39;Night Time People&#39;!Winner will be notified by email after the last show of the residency. <hr style="text-align: center;">We acknowledge that this event will be held on Wurundjeri land of the Kulin Nation and recognise that sovereignty was never ceded.
