Babe Rainbow

Sun-soaked Australian psych rockers The Babe Rainbow play Surf + Sound!

For Angus Dowling, Jack ‘Cool-Breeze’ Crowther and Dr Elliot ‘Love Wisdom’ O’Reilly, the dreamlike, joyful, psychedelic sound of Babe Rainbow is shaped by their deep connection to coastal culture.

The trio grew up in Rainbow Bay, later relocating to Byron Bay, an area of breathtaking natural beauty, where the waves are always strong, the magic mushrooms grow freely, and farm buildings abound. The trio jammed tirelessly in abandoned shacks, and as their sound began to develop and they established a loyal following.

Their most “homegrown” project yet, ‘Slipper imp and shakaerator’ is a celebration of all the colours of the Babe Rainbow. It’s a suite of maverick, zephyr-light acid-pop following its own north star and chasing subtle, slippery, subterranean grooves to delirious destinations.

Catch them on stage at Felons Barrel Room this October during Surf + Sound Festival!
