Changes

'''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.[https://cplorg.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p16014coll5/id/36707/rec/5] Trent Reznor played keyboards for the band, first as a guest performer in March 1987 (while still with Exotic Birds) [https://cplorg.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p16014coll5/id/36761/rec/17], 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".

Slam Bamboo broke up in 1989 as a result of Reznor and Musarra's departures. [https://cplorg.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/p16014coll5/id/39112/rec/5] Reznor's time in the band was preceded by a stint in [[Exotic Birds]] and followed by a stint in [[Lucky Pierre]].
