Rainbow Bay's psychedelic outfit The Babe Rainbow chats to us about their latest single and more ahead of their east coast tour.

"I guess the first record’s a bit more juvenile and outsider."

"There are certainly drawbacks to having a complicated process of making music."

"I can’t actually remember why we decided to turn it into a collective."

"We’re not really a bluegrass band at all though, because I think a traditional bluegrass band would probably laugh at us."

"Nothing annoys me more than someone just tapping away and I can’t understand what they’re actually playing."

"I don’t think I’ve ever been so tired in my entire life."

"I definitely appreciate the people who listen to us and I suppose I just hope that they appreciate the music that we want to make."

"This is going to be a hell of a lot different."

"These young guys have made me fall in love with Australia again."

"The Vines on Letterman – that was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen."

"If you love triple j, HOTTMESS will be right up your alley."
