“I’m in a sweet place with rock and roll” – Babyshakes Dillon calls out the car window, pulling away from band rehearsals.
If you ask the oracle about Full Flower Moon Band, it’s the story of 28-year-old rock prodigy/outcast/loner/Babyshakes Dillon. The underground Brisbane-come-Melbourne producer and multi-instrumentalist has an impressive catalog.
Since 2016 audiences have seen her exist between America and Australia, doing extensive international tours with internationally acclaimed touring band Gabriella Cohen, and living as a recluse in DIY studios.

channels and Instagram accounts, Babyshakes’ biggest accolade to date has been the

“There’s a lot to love about the record alone, with its Velvet Underground opiate haze” -Kate Hennesy, The Guardian.
“Put on the new Arctic Monkeys album today and thought of this band immediately. Kate’s been making spaced out, Bowie-esque psych experiments for the last couple of years” – Dave Ruby Howe – JJJ unearthed
“If the Black Lodge in Twin Peaks had a house band they’d probably sound like this…” – Dom Alesio.
The band features a rotating roster of live members, creating an electric, almost performance art atmosphere for the audience.
