The band embarked on another tour that encompassed Australia, U.K and Europe, performing at venues including The Jazz Café in London and countries including Germany, Spain, Ireland, Italy and Belgium. U.K music promoter/DJ and label owner Adrian Gibson named The Bamboos 'the best new Deep Funk band in the world today'. Upon release Rawville was described by UK-based IDJ Magazine as 'arguably the best funk album of the modern era'. Of the five instrumentals (which included the popular live staple 'The Witch'), one was recorded at Quantic's Brighton studio in 2006 ('Tongan Steel') live to analogue tape. The Bamboos 2007 second album Rawville, marked a stylistic move towards more vocal-based material and featured vocalists Kylie Auldist (Aust), Tyra Hammond (NZ), Fallon Williams (US/Aust) and hip hop artist Ohmega Watts (US). Melbourne vocalist Kylie Auldist officially joined the band full-time in 2006 debuting on stage at Meredith Music Festival for the late night 4 am set. 2006 also saw The Bamboos record 'The Witch' remix for Tru Thoughts artist The Broken Keys and an Aus/NZ tour as backing/support band for label mates Quantic and Alice Russell. The album title track 'Step It Up' gained visibility with its use in high-rating U.S TV shows Greys Anatomy and Ugly Betty. It was a format influenced by artists such as James Brown and Breakestra and also Lance Ferguson's experience as a DJ. The Bamboos live show had evolved by this time into a non-stop 'Live Mix'-style set where each song segued into the next. Upon release 'Step it Up' received positive reviews within the Funk/Soul scene and enabled the band to embark upon their first Australian, U.K and European tour that year. Part of the album was made up of songs already released on the band's early 7' releases (though the songs 'Tighten Up' and 'Voodoo Doll' were re-recorded as new versions for the album).
