Slam Bamboo

Slam Bamboo (sometimes as Slam Bam Boo) was a 1980s synthpop band from Cleveland that formed in 1984 following the dissolution of new wave group Boy Wonder. Their first single, "House on Fire", was released in early 1987.[1] Trent Reznor played keyboards for the band, first as a guest performer in March 1987 (while still with Exotic Birds) [2], and then on a permanent basis, replacing Steve Harte on keyboards, after the dissolution of Exotic Birds.

The band appeared on AM Cleveland, a local morning show hosted by Scott Newell, sometime in 1987. In April 1988, Slam Bamboo released their third single, "White Lies". [3] Reznor left Slam Bamboo in early 1988 to join Lucky Pierre [4], but also to focus on writing for his new music project, Nine Inch Nails [5], Reznor recruited Slam Bamboo dummer Ron Musarra for the live version of NIN in October 1988. Slam Bamboo broke up in 1989 as a result of Reznor and Musarra's departures. [6]
