We profiled the band “Bamboo Shoots” earlier in our blog, but we thought we’d update you with some awesome pics and their recent tour across India in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengal. If there was a stock market for rock bands, we’d be loading up on these guys, they are destined for great things and chart-toppers. Also, be sure to check out their blog at: http://bambooshootsband.blogspot.com/  Also, check out the video below of their single, “Wrong All Along” below:

New York City’s Bamboo Shoots is a five-piece outfit founded by Avir Mitra and Karl Sukhia in 2004. It represents the latest step in a long journey for these two South Asian musicians originally from Southern New Jersey who have been songwriting partners since the age of 16. As Avir puts it, “South Asian sounds and influences are all over the place, but the voices of Indian Americans themselves have been mostly absent.” Bamboo Shoots is changing that in the United States. “Just by being ourselves on stage we are challenging stereotypes.”

Joined by drummers Shiv Puri, Ankur Patel and guitarist Ahmed Mahmoud, the band’s grass roots efforts have garnered them a huge following as they draw crowds to major venues on the East Coast including New York City’s Knitting Factory and Galapagos and Philadelphia’s Khyber. Bamboo Shoots receive great reception from the college radio market, receiving airplay on over 200 college radio stations nationwide and charting consistently in several markets. In May 2007, Bamboo Shoots won mtvU’s “Best Music on Campus Artist of the Year” contest, receiving a multi-record recording deal with Epic Records and performing on the Late Show with Conan O’Brien.

Their profile is growing rapidly as they currently work with producer Jerry Harrison (guitarist/keyboardist of Talking Heads and producer of No Doubt, Live, Foo Fighters) on their debut full-length album for Epic Records.

Their unique sound can be described as: Daft Punk meets Alice in Chains. Graceland in Space. The Police produced by Timbaland. LeVar Burton.

Any guy who can put on make-up, color his hair yellow, and dance around like Scott Weiland does during performances such as this one, and actually make it look fuckin cool, is the man. period.

Concrete Jungle fans:

Thanks again for all your support and enthusiasm for the brand over the past couple years. Welcome to our new blog, where we plan to post random things that intrigue us and that we think will intrigue you – we plan to let you know what’s going on with the brand, or even post a good performance like we did with this performance on SNL that features Lil’ Wanye and Mack Maine to kick off the blog – do the video justice, max the screen, pump the bass, and up the speakers. We also have some custom videos in the works that are collaborations between our brand and artists, athletes, and fans out there. We aspire to tell the story of the Concrete Jungles of the world, every major city in the world – it is a story about every type of person, because every type of person is an inhabitant of the Concrete Jungle – doesn’t matter whether you are a Lawyer or a street cart vendor – we all come together to form it.

We also listened to you and have changed our shopping cart software to provide a more reliable, stable, and quicker checkout process than we had before. FYI, the first page of the store just shows a couple of products, you must click “ALL CONCRETE JUNGLE TEES” on the right side in the gray box – lots of you have been asking about that.

enjoy
