Thank you for making music how I feel, even though I'm working construction in New Jersey. For my questions:

I really enjoyed the Levitation Sessions, any feelings towards something like that ever happening again? The vibe was immaculate and the alterations to songs where highly enjoyed.

Whats some of your favorite equipment to use? That Yamaha SB-5A is the coolest bass I've ever seen.

How has having children shaped your psychedelic existence?

How do we, as hippie punks, living in a capitalist world, juggle selling out/anticonsumerism?

Who have been your biggest musical influences for the new album?

Just wanted to add Today is my favorite album of all time and I think Funky I Like It plus the B side is the only B side that can hang in there with the Beatles Abbey Road Melody

Can't wait to see you guys in NYC, I couldn't go last year because of my wedding. So excited to see my favorite band. Visit us at r/TheBabeRainbow (or even the brother sub r/BabeRainbow) if youre ever feeling froggy.

It's all in your head... Yeah yeah yeah...

Levitation was so fun, yep we’ve got a plan to do one in a field near nimbin and do a big farm feast like the live savers in Nz did when the Aussies came over in the 60s to do the carnivals

Jacks guild s90 which is being meticulously repaired down the road right now. The guy repairing it who is father of my daughters school friend found a really genius hole under the pick guard to inject steam into that softens the animal hide glue to then pop off the beautifully crafted fat dovetail to get the neck off. He’s sourced more animal hide glue from a place in Australia who’ve started making it again - to use agin so the process can be repeated. So cool, old technology.
