It’s almost that time again – International Record Store Day. To celebrate, and entice you away from your laptop and illegal downloads for a day, Northside Records is proud to present THE BAMBOOS, appearing live instore at 3pm on Saturday April 17. We’re not sure where we are going to put them all, or how anyone else will be able to actually get into the store once the band is setup, but that’s a minor detail. The important thing is live music from one of Australia’s hottest soul/funk outfits. In past years we’ve been lucky enough to host Cookin’ on 3 Burners, but this is gonna be some next level shit! The Bamboos are set to tear up Gertrude St. with a frantic 30 minute set of smoking soul and funk tunes. It’s gonna be a riot!

Entry will be free, and aside from the band, Northside will be offering some other special deals to celebrate Record Store Day, like Chris’ famous 6 reissues for $100, give-aways and dance demonstrations from the funky man himself. If you want to see the Bamboos up close, we suggest you get in early because it’s gonna get damn steamy with so much funk in one place. 3pm sharp. Don’t sleep.

More information about Record Store Day can be found on the official website, along with a comprehensive list of all the record stores who will be participating around the world. Keep vinyl alive and dip into your deep pockets for one very special day of train-spotting and nerding-out. ‘Nuff said.
