Bambi Slam

The Bambi Slam were a UK based Canadian-British quartet with an unusual instrumental lineup of guitar, cello, bass, drums, led by singer/guitarist Roy Feldon and featuring cellist Linda Miller and drummer Nick Maynard. By the time of the release of the first full-length album, The Bambi Slam, in 1988, the group had splintered, leaving the Bambi Slam as a Feldon solo project. (The album credit reads, "Written, produced, arranged and performed by Roy," though former group members also contributed.)
==Links to Peel==
Peel discovered the group in February 1987, where he played their debut single, 'Bamp Bamp', although on his 20 February 1987 (BFBS) show, he wasn't entirely convinced of it. Further material from the group were played on his radio programmes until 1988, including a session they recorded for his show in March 1987. In an interview with The Dumbing Of America website in 2009, Roy Feldon, was asked any recollections he had doing the Peel session:
"BBC sessions.  Amazing to go into the very sterile old BBC studios where the Beatles, Stones, Who, Hendrix, etc. had recorded their BBC sessions.  Unfortunately we got banned from doing any further John Peel sessions as they are supposed to be done really quickly in one day and as it took us two because I had to play a lot of the instruments and samples, etc..  They told the label we would not be asked back."
