Ask any musician—touring sucks. You don’t get enough sleep, you eat terribly, and occupational injuries threaten body and mind.

Musicians often self-medicate with herb gifted from fans. But thanks to legalization — precise topicals and tinctures augment this mystery grass.

Over the course of a decade and ten full-length albums, the Bay Area trio Beats Antique have honed their blend of pop, electro funk and wide-ranging global influences into a singular stew of party-starting exuberance. Traveling the world over and over again—David Satori and “Sidecar Tommy” Cappel have learned a few things.

Backstage before their tour-closing show at Portland’s Crystal Ballroom, the band sat down with The Hash to talk herbs that heal—including Fairwinds’ Deep Sleep Tincture and Green Earth Medicinals’ Muscle Spray.
