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. Preceded by tracks "LOL" and "Superstar," the North Carolina-bred quartet's forthcoming album LOVE HATE MUSIC BOX—the creative vision of singer/songwriter Ela Melo, guitarists Bozzy Keller and Ethan Goodpaster, and drummer Jess Haney as well as former bassist Charlie Holt—represents a brand-new awakening. After years of struggling with her own mental health that resulted in writer’s block, on-stage episodes, and tour cancellations, Melo was properly diagnosed and treated in 2023, vastly improving her quality of life. Suddenly struck by creative intervention, songs once again poured out of her, writing at least one a day for an entire year and forming the backbone of their 22-track opus. Produced by Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves) along with Konrad Snyder (Noah Kahan) and Melo, the album ponders life’s ups and downs, and traces the turbulent trajectory of relationships, painted out loud in hues of pop, electronic, rock, and hip-hop. Now boasting over 2 billion global streams, Rainbow Kitten Surprise first began building their devoted fanbase with independent albums SEVEN + MARY (2013) and RKS (2015), and in 2018, released their full-length debut for Elektra, HOW TO: FRIEND, LOVE, FREEFALL featuring the RIAA-certified Platinum single “It’s Called: Freefall.”

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.

Rabbit Rabbit Asheville, NCWhat an amazing experience! They really kept the same energy throughout their entire performance. Sad they didn't sing my favourite... (All That and More-Sailboat). The venue was also perfectly picked, the soft green grass was so refreshing.
