In other Megan Washington related news, next Monday we release the 10th Anniversary Bamboos 7” which features Washington on one side on a cover of James Blake’s epic ‘The Wilhelm Scream’ which has already received airplay on XFM and BBC 6Music. On the flip is their first ever single ‘Eel Oil’. Here’s what some kind people said about the James Blake cover…

“That’s The Bamboos right there doing James Blake’s The Wilhelm Scream – and very well, I must say.” – HUEY MORGAN (BBC 6MUSIC)

“I really like this! It’s in tonight’s show and also in my Top 5 this week” – JOHN KENNEDY (XFM)

Must admit, I was a little wary as it didn’t fit in with my style at all.

But…

As soon as he said Pusha T from Clipse was featured, I was on the next bus to the studio. This is the result of that long night!” Benji Boko

The new Zed Bias album, Biasonic Hotsauce – Birth of the Nanocloud, is out now. You can pick it up at Etch Shop, iTunes, Juno, Amazon and all other good record stores.
