This Is How You Do It is The Bamboos 11th studio album and 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.

lyrics

Guess who’s sleeping over
Alright
look who’s going out
All night
I’m up for another
It’s your round
Gonna line ‘em up
Tonight
Check your inhibition
Leave it at the door
Jealousy’s a bitch and
Leaves you on the floor

We are everything you need and more
Way more
There ain’t nothing else we wanna share

Climb in
Where ya been?
Climb in
We’re the main event
Climb in
Pour the gin
I’m in
We’re the main event

Let’s go find a lover
Alright
Let’s go find a few
All night
If they’re undercover
It’s alright
I don’t mind, do you?
Tonight
We all got a secret
Ain’t not need to tell
Better just to keep it
Save it for yourself

We are everything you need and more
Way more
There ain’t nothing else we wanna share

Climb in
Where ya been?
Climb in
We’re the main event
Climb in
Pour the gin
I’m in
We’re the main event
