Beth & Blue - About
Born out of a serendipitous meeting on a dating app in 2021, Beth and Blue is the creative partnership of Imogen Grist (Babitha) and Marcus Index (Spookyland).
What started as a bonding over shared influences and an innocent desire to sing duets together, quickly evolved into an expansive three-year project, experimenting with the love song as a form of meditation.
Beth and Blue’s take on the love song is panoramic, addressing themes of desire, euphoria, fragility and despair with equal doses of melodrama and surrealism. The music has echoes of folk rock, alt-country and dream pop, but dominated by the reverberated harmonies of Grist and Index, Beth andBlue’s sound is marked by a hymnal quality that is defiantly ethereal and hard to place.
Impressed are thrilled to be presenting The Bamboos Best, a compilation in celebration of twenty five year anniversary of the formation of The Bamboos.
The definitive collection of one of Australia’s most celebrated, influential and enduring Soul & Funk acts - tracing the history of the band that laid the foundation for the now internationally recognised Australian Soul scene.
Twenty songs taken from across their extensive catalogue, including many that have been unavailable on vinyl since their original release, and one track appearing in the format for the very first time.
From their raw Deep Funk origins through their own genre defying musical path, The Bamboos have reinvigorated a classic sound whilst seamlessly incorporating contemporary influences to create something altogether brand new.
Managing to appeal to both Soul/Funk purists as well as casual music fans along the way, the band have always focused on what’s important: songwriting, groove and powerful vocals.
