The Bamboos Announce September 2025 25th Anniversary Shows
'It's been a wild ride, and we're not letting up,' said the band in a statement shared to their social media accounts. 'Playing live for you has always been at the beating heart of this band, and what we love to do most.

The Bamboos were initially formed in Melbourne at the turn of the century by guitarist and bandleader Lance Ferguson. After playing around the city as an instrumental band, often doing covers, they began to take proper formation in 2006 with the addition of Kylie Auldist as lead vocalist and the release of their debut studio album, Step It Up. The band have released ten studio albums in total, including 2015's The Rules Of Attraction with You Am I frontman Tim Rogers.
Across their 25-year career, The Bamboos have been nominated for six ARIA Awards and been shortlisted twice in the Song Of The Year category at the APRA Awards. In addition to Rogers (who launched The Ferguson Rogers Process with Ferguson last year), the group's extensive list of collaborators include Meg Washington, Dan Sultan, Daniel Merriweather, Urthboy and Aloe Blacc.

Op shop find worth $1,000 Aussies are 'snapping up like investment properties'
A classic Australian item that can be "easily" found at charity shops around the country is being snapped up by collectors willing to pay as much as $1,000 for a complete set. Mat Carpenter, an avid thrifter, told Yahoo News those looking to supplement their income with items found at the charity shop "need to know what they're looking for" and there is one particular aisle that usually offers him a "home run". "One of the easiest starting points for Aussies wanting to make money is kids media, particularly DVDs and VHS tapes," he said. Despite the fact that "no one under 25 owns a DVD or VHS player", he argues that older generations are "snapping them up like they're investment properties". Aussies snap up The Wiggles DVDs for $1,000 A complete set of season one, two and three of the original Wiggles TV show can "easily" be listed on reseller websites like eBay for $1,000. Mat explained that The Wiggles have made Mat – who runs who runs Flip Weekly, a newsletter and podcast teaching Aussies how to flip undervalued products found in op shops – "a lot of money". "Earlier this month I bought a huge box of old VHS tapes that contained 12 copies of The Wiggles," he explained. "The resell value of those 12 was over $700 and just 1 tape alone sold for $200." The second-hand flipper thinks the reason behind this stems from "nostalgia", but also the fact that in modern times, media catalogues are often divided across different streaming platforms as well as the "older generation relying on technology they're familiar with," he said. 🛍️ Mum's sad op shop theory highlights surging Gen Z trend 😢 Local unleashes over 'disgraceful' act on Aussie street 💎 Woman's 'rare' $2 find at Vinnies op-shop worth $1,000 For those looking to supplement their incomes by sifting through charity stores in search of treasure, he said finding shows like The Wiggles are a good place to start. "They're easy enough to come by in charity shops," he said. "They're also rife at garage sales and on Facebook Marketplace." He's had similar success with other nostalgic children's shows, including seasons 1-3 of The Amanda Show on DVD selling for over $1,000. He's found Barney & Friends complete series selling for $500, and individual seasons of Teletubbies for $50 each. "When I posted my Wiggles video we had a lot of comments from people who owned the valuable DVDs but just didn't know about it. I suspect that's the case for a lot of these shows too," he said.

Little League World Series player calls out Shohei Ohtani as 'not really humble' after encounter
Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani might be a global baseball icon, but not in the eyes of one Little League World Series player. Australia's Monica Arcuri revealed an interaction with Ohtani that led her to believe he is "not really humble." Arcuri was featured on ESPN's "Sunday Night Baseball" KidsCast during the New York Mets-Seattle Mariners game Sunday in Williamsport, Pa., the host city of the Little League World Series. During her interview, the Brisbane native described attending a Los Angeles Angels game in Anaheim in 2023. During that game, Ohtani — then still a member of the Angels — homered off Toronto Blue Jays starter Yusei Kikuchi. "He hit a home run into an area where the fans couldn't go, and then this guy got the ball and gave it to my brother," Arcuri explained on the broadcast. "So, the next day we went to the VIP box at the front, and I asked for [Ohtani's] signature, but all he gave me was a side-eye and not a nice glance. "So, after that, I've never liked him ever since. He's not really humble. Not my style." That season was Ohtani's last in an Angels uniform before the Dodgers swooped in with a then-record 10-year, $700 million contract, though $680 million of it was deferred. Ohtani's first season with the Dodgers ended with an NL MVP Award and a World Series ring after defeating the New York Yankees in five games in the "Fall Classic." However, Ohtani has faced off-the-field controversies since last season. First, his former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, was imprisoned for stealing nearly $17 million from the Japanese star to pay off gambling debts. Ohtani publicly addressed the scandal in late March before the start of his inaugural Dodgers season, saying he had never placed a sports bet and that Mizuhara's story about paying off his $4.5 million gambling debt was fabricated. More recently, Ohtani and his agent, Nez Balelo, made headlines after being sued by a Hawaii real estate investor and broker for allegedly causing their firing from a $240 million luxury housing development. Meanwhile, it appears Arcuri enjoyed her time in Williamsport despite Australia being eliminated from the international bracket after a 12-0 loss to Canada on Sunday. Australia opened with a 7-2 loss to Panama before bouncing back with a 5-3 win over Europe-Africa on Saturday to avoid early elimination. Arucir became the 24th girl to play in the Little League Baseball World Series, and the 11th to record a hit.

Keith Urban Helps the Next Generation of Country Stars in a Special Way
Keith Urban Helps the Next Generation of Country Stars in a Special Way originally appeared on Parade. Keith Urban's undeniable talent has made him one of the most successful names in the country music industry—and he wants to help the next stars. In a partnership with the Tamworth Country Music Festival, the Australian native, 57, has launched the Keith Urban Rising Star Scholarship. The program will bring an artist from the Land Down Under to Nashville, Tennessee, as part of an all-expenses-paid trip, Billboard reported. The lucky musician will have "unprecedented access" to the city's music scene, including the chance to perform and write, per the outlet. The artist will also be introduced to personnel from the music business and have two days of recording time at Urban's studio, The Sound, which he purchased in June 2024, according to Mixonline. "Sometimes all a musician needs is an opportunity to be heard or someone to help nurture their talent. Having the opportunity to do that not only inspires me, I'm hoping that in some way this scholarship will serve to inspire others," Urban said, per Billboard. The four-time Grammy Award-winner has a long history with the Tamworth Country Music Festival. In 1989, he won the Star Maker competition at the Australia-based event, which helped lead him to worldwide stardom. The "Blue Ain't Your Color' singer was just 22 at the time. The 2026 Tamworth Country Music Festival will take place from January 16-25. "Held in Australia's Country Music Capital, Tamworth, the Toyota Country Music Festival is recognised as Australia's largest and longest country music festival in the southern hemisphere!" the festival's website states. Artists interested in the Rising Scar Scholarship can apply at beggining in January 2026. Country music is highly popular in the Land Down Under. According to a July 2023 report from The Music Network, data from Luminate placed Australia as the world's No. 3 market for country music, right behind the U.S. and Canada. Urban is currently on his 2025 High and Alive World Tour, which began on May 22 in Orange Beach, Alabama. The tour headed to Australia on August 13 and will also travel to Canada before returning to the U.S. The "Somebody Like You" singer will wrap up the tour on October 17 in Nashville. Keith Urban Helps the Next Generation of Country Stars in a Special Way first appeared on Parade on Aug 19, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 19, 2025, where it first appeared.
