Slam Bamboo was a 1980s synthpop band from Cleveland that formed in 1983 following the dissolution of new wave group Boy Wonder. Trent Reznor played keyboards in the Slam Bamboo for six months to a year in the late 1980s. Reznor joined the band after the release of Slam Bamboo's first single "House on Fire", replacing Steve Harte on keyboards. The band appeared on AM Cleveland, a local morning show hosted by Scott Newell, sometime in 1987. Slam Bamboo would break up in 1989 after releasing only two singles. Original Nine Inch Nails drummer Ron Musarra was also a member. Reznor's time in the band was preceded by a stint in Exotic Birds and followed by a stint in Lucky Pierre.
