Awesome... these guys rocked back in the day and I still love this song as much as I did 20+ years ago! Rock on Bamboos!

This brings back so many memories... Do you guys know where I could get a copy of this and/or With which to love? "With which to love" and "Virginia" awesome stuff. Was it ever put on to CD?

[Lobotomy1967]

Excellent band. Used to go and see these guys at the Shents & Leederville Hotels in the 80's. I even have a signed copy of their independant split cassette they released with Mutants of Desire another great Perth Band, DJ was a real unit.

The Bamboos were a GLORIOUS BAND! Curtin Uni refectory Friday gigs will always be remembered with great fondness.

The Healers almost filled the gap.

Hey Craig where RU these days?

Running like a dog through the everglades no doubt!

@cl0udtop I have the album on vinyl and got it through GEMM Records on the internet.

I was lucky enough to support The Bamboos when they did a reunion tour a while ago in Bunbury. They were great!!!!

Outstation is another great band to track down along the same lines with Hallsworth singing.
