sunshine-cover asked: Can you give advice on hearing protection? Like what are good earplugs and any tips. Thanks :)

I don’t wear earplugs… whoops. I probably should but every time I’ve tried it made me feel like I was underwater and I was less able to get into the music I was playing. :/

greengrayrain asked: Cassie, please answer me. Is it possible to move to Brooklyn and survive on a shitty job, like, working on a cafe or something? I'd love to move to Brooklyn and start a band.

It’s totally possible but you have to be very motivated in order to make it work for yourself. 

yourenotamovement asked: Will I ever be able to buy a The Babies shirt without going to a show? I wanna spread the love.

Not sure. We might set up an online merch store at some point but it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Sorry!

epicwes asked: did you know lil b is a huge vivian girls fan

Yes! It makes me really happy.

milk-tastic asked: hey do you have any advice for someone new to new york/brooklyn who wants to start a band but doesn't know anyone yet?

Go to as many shows as you can and meet people! After you meet a ton of people you will find at least one or two who would be down to start a band.

rusted-teeth asked: Hi Cassie! Some websites in the UK are showing the babies playing brighton in june, is this legit and when will the rest of the dates be announced?

Yes, we are planning a UK/EU tour at the moment! I’m not sure when the dates will be announced but we will be there in June for sure!

pulk-pull asked: Hi Cassie! Love the new LP cover and can't wait until it comes out! I was telling my boyfriend how cute the artwork is and he agrees, too. Anyway, even though this is way down the line (but I'm actually really considering it), I'd like to have that on my wedding cake someday (or at least something similar). Think I can contact you once I'm engaged? Haha! It might even be in a few years since I'm reaching my 30's pretty soon. Yikes! Love, from LA.

Of course, I would be honored!! Thank you so much. xoxo
