As if channeling another dimension where genres simply don’t exist, Rainbow Kitten Surprise find harmony in unpredictability - weaving together lyrical poetry, hummable melodies, and a rush of instrumental eccentricities. The genre-defying band first began building their devoted fanbase with independent albums “SEVEN + MARY” (2013) and “RKS” (2015). Arriving in 2018, their full-length debut for Elektra, “HOW TO: FRIEND, LOVE, FREEFALL” - produced by GRAMMY Award-winner Jay Joyce (Cage The Elephant, Sleeper Agent) featuring RIAA-certified Gold single “It’s Called: Freefall” - earned widespread praise from Billboard, TIME, Vice, and NPR who described their sound as “…a mix of jam and indie and whatever else you can throw into the soup…very earnest, beautiful, political, loving rock n’ roll,” and several national television appearances, including performances on “CBS This Morning Saturday,” “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” and PBS’s “Austin City Limits.” After gracing the bills of Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Osheaga, to name a few, RKS moved 80,000 tickets of their own on their sold-out Friend, Love Freefall Tour earmarked by a packed night at Red Rocks and three consecutive gigs in Athens, GA-as chronicled on their first official live album, “LIVE FROM ATHENS GEORGIA,” released in 2021.
