Babe Rainbow at Fox Theatre:

May 7, 2023

Doors 8:30/Show 9; All Ages. Babe Rainbow are a stoner pop band from Australia noted for their boogie psychedelia and throwback surf cult imagery. Formed 2015 in Rainbow Bay by kiosk lurkers Jack Crowther aka Cool Breeze Angus Dowling and Elliot O’Reilly. At a time the three worked for local grower John Cutts in Duranbah NSW near tropical fruit world. John and the guys were cranking out the kale way before it was cool. “We’ve seen plenty of vegetables go in and out of fashion” says Angus. Initially rooted in 60’s psych and 70’s French surf pop the Babe’s musical style has evolved through their career exploring elements of woodland bop and disco, dub and more recently dance and international groove, yet has maintained an Aquarian quality built of Dowling’s spacemen singing style and Cool Breeze’s chiming effects-based guitar sounds.
