Babe Rainbow is an Australian psychedelic rock band from Byron Bay, New South Wales. The band has been characterised by their "throw-back" style of 1960s psychedelic rock along with their surf culture imagery. The band were conceived in 2014 in Rainbow Bay by Angus Dowling and Jack Crowther, who met during high school. Finding an interest in psychedelic music, they formed officially in 2015 along with Elliot O’Reilly, whom they met working as farmers in Duranbah, along with Venezuelan-born bass player Lu-Lu Felix Domingo.
The band collaborated with King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard on their debut album, The Babe Rainbow, being later signed to the Flightless and 30th Century Records labels. In 2018, Babe Rainbow's second studio album, Double Rainbow, debuted at no. 18 on the ARIA Albums Chart. Miles Myjavec joined as a drummer around this time. The band has also collaborated with American artist Jaden Smith. As of 2024, the band has released five full-length albums, along with three EPs. The band has also ventured more into soft rock with influences from Latin music.
