bio
In 1998, Nicky Bomba formed a jazz band called Banana Oil, with Andy Baylor on guitar, Tim Neal on keyboards and David Williamson on saxophone. They released an album, Guavo Lampo. At the APRA Music Awards of 1998, won for their composition, "My Family".
The group were also nominated in the same category for "Baylorology" by Baylor and "Neal Shuffle" by Neal.
The single ‘My Family' was used on two television ads and was included in a Liz Hurley film, 'Bedazzled'
“It was one of those dream runs that you read about” remarks Nicky “the band still exists …we’re just taking a long break!”
This band came about when a Wednesday night residency became available at one of Melbourne’s inner city venues. The group soon settled on a sweet synergy that prompted Nicky to set up some studio time and capture the feeling they had. A couple of amazing sessions later the band had the essence of an album, so Nicky took it down to the label boss at Mushroom records who loved it and offered them a little deal.
The band proceeded to make a clip, release a single, receive instant radio airplay, get played on all the live TV shows at the time, won some awards!
