Bellingen Turtle Festival Focus: Pineapple Lazer

Answered by: Andy Bowles

When did you find out about the plight of George and his fellow Bellingen River snapping turtles and what made you want to help out by playing? I was scrolling web for new festivals and found Turtle Fest and became aware that our turtle friends are in danger. I've been a fan of turtles since they made that Ninja Turtles movie, we gotta save our turtle buddies before the evil Shredder attacks!

How important is it to support the current shift towards eco conscious events like Bellingen Turtle Festival? Turtley important!

Have you ever loved turtles to the extent of having a pet turtle? No way, our turtle bros belong in the nature, or sewers depending on their eco preferences and ninja skill levels.

Is music a good medium to get out a message, such as with the Bellingen Turtle Festival? Absolutely! It's all about vibes, raise the vibration and we shift our conscious potential to the next level together. Inspiring change through a catalyst of sonic waves and physical and spiritual freedom of expression.

Turtles have a famous design flaw in their inability to flip themselves over. Do you have any secret weaknesses? Their inability to flip back over is possibly nature's showcase of a creation of absolute vulnerability. Teaching us to be open to help. Plus they can also breathe through their butts, so rad.

When can we catch your set at the Turtle Festival? 1 Oct, Live Stage, 11am; 2 Oct, Live Stage, 2pm.
