“I’m a big fan of The Bamboos so straight up I was stoked to be asked to work on a song with them. Most importantly the theme they floated was something I consider to be really important to talk about. I grew up in Australian sport culture, and more broadly male culture, so I feel like I’ve had a lifetime of experience in the mess of expectations we put on young men. 

The consequences of unchecked male bravado and the toxic masculinity that results has terrible effects on the families they’re part of, and the community at large. I’ve navigated those expectations and tried to find my identity amongst them, awkwardly at times! I don’t think there are simple answers to these questions but as artists, we have to amplify the conversation and disseminate it in our own way.” – Urthboy

The Bamboos eighth studio album NIGHT TIME PEOPLE is shaping to be the record brings their infectious and modern take on a timeless sound to a whole new world of listeners. Over the years, The Bamboos have featured a stellar cast of guest vocalists but band leader Lance Ferguson made the decision to have Auldist as the sole vocalist on NIGHT TIME PEOPLE.

Millions of listeners globally are already familiar with the winning combination of Ferguson’s guitar playing and songwriting with Auldist’s unmistakable vocals, thanks to “This Girl” by Kungs Vs. Cookin’ On 3 Burners. One of 2016’s biggest chart hits, “This Girl” was a remix of a 2009 track co-written by Ferguson that showed that the world was craving pop music with genuine soul.

After being invited to support Robbie Williams on his ‘Heavy Entertainment Show’ tour this past February and March, the band will head out in August to support the album on their first headline tour since 2015.
