As if channeling another dimension where genres simply don’t exist, Rainbow Kitten Surprise finds harmony in unpredictability – weaving together lyrical poetry, hummable melodies, and a rush of instrumental eccentricities. Now boasting over 2 billion global streams across platforms, the band first began building their devoted fanbase with independent albums SEVEN + MARY(2013) and RKS (2015). On September 26, 2025, the band released their most collaborative and quintessentially Rainbow Kitten Surprise album yet, bones. Produced by GRAMMY® Award-winner Jay Joyce (Cage The Elephant, Orville Peck, Lainey Wilson), the record is both an incredible return to form and a distinct elevation from their previous releases, earning praise from the Los Angeles Times, PAPER, Billboard, and more. This came on the heels of Rainbow Kitten Surprise’s first album in six years, LOVE HATE MUSIC BOX, released in May 2024. Produced by Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves) along with Konrad Snyder (Noah Kahan) and lead singer Ela Melo, the record was met with critical praise from Billboard, Consequence, Paste, and more. LOVE HATE MUSIC BOX followed the band’s breakout full-length debut for Elektra, HOW TO: FRIEND, LOVE, FREEFALL, which arrived in April 2018. Also produced by Jay Joyce, the album featured RIAA-certified Platinum single “It’s Called: Freefall,” earned widespread praise from Billboard, TIME, Vice, and NPR, and saw the band make several national television appearances, including performances on “CBS Saturday Morning,” “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” and PBS’s “Austin City Limits.” The band just wrapped their massive bones World Tour, which included amphitheatre and arena dates across Australia, North America, and the United Kingdom, along with festival appearances at Bonnaroo, All Things Go, and Zootown. This followed after last year’s Thanks For Coming Tour, which saw them headline amphitheatres across North America, including their fourth sold-out show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Rainbow Kitten Surprise is: Ela Melo (she/her; lead vocals), Darrick “Bozzy” Keller (he/him; guitar, vocals), Ethan Goodpaster (he/him; lead guitar, vocals), Jess Haney (he/him; drums), Maddie Bouton (she/her; bass, vocals), and Drew Long (he/him; keys)

A show that must be experienced by all ages. I could make comparisons however...go check them out for yourself. I can’t wait to see them in 5..10 years. They will be a band you will remember till your rocking chair days.
Revention Music Center Houston, TXGreat show despite the rain. Venue was wonderful with great amenities. RKS put on a great show (as usual)! It was my daughter’s second RKS show, but first time in front row. She says Ela looked so beautiful! I agree! 🥰
Woodlands Nature Reserve Charleston, SCi had so much fun!! the crowd was extremely energetic and fun, i even made a few friends in the crowd!! everyone was so full of life, even for the opening band, and continued with high energy throughout the night!!
Holland Performing Arts Center Omaha, NEMost amazing concert I’ve ever been to. The love they share, not only with each other but with their crew is unbelievable and something to be witnessed. This takes them from being a favorite performance to favorite musicians.
Municipal Auditorium Nashville, TNFun evening rocking in Asheville,NC with this young band. My daughter was a student at Appalachian State when they started up and played at Legends. Lots of great energy and loved the sound! Great voice lead singer!
