Sometime in the summer of 2008, a young Doug Wright (recently returned from a year in far-off Switzerland) found the perfect synth on eBay. Biding his time, he planned to pounce at the right moment… Simultaneously, at a secret location, deep in the picturesque Blue Mountains, brothers Peter and Russell Fitzgibbon were watching the same synth on their computer screen, mouse-clicking fingers getting ready to spring… After losing the bidding war, Doug heard on the grapevine that the brothers had scored a sweet new Roland Alpha Juno 2 on eBay. He immediately fronted up to the Fitzgibbon house, demanding they form a band together so he could play it. “I lost a synth but won some friends,” says Doug nostalgically. United by a mutual love of sun-drenched harmonies and shimmering melodies, with a secret guilty serve of smooth grooves on the side, the trio put their minds together to bring We Say Bamboulée into being.
