About

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). The band's breakout full-length debut for Elektra, HOW TO: FRIEND, LOVE, FREEFALL, arrived in April 2018. Produced by GRAMMY Award-winner Jay Joyce (Cage The Elephant, Lainey Wilson), the album featured RIAA-certified Platinum 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 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." After gracing the bills of Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Osheaga, to name a few, RKS moved 80,000 tickets of their own on the sold-out 2018/2019 Friend, Love, Freefall Tour. That tour was earmarked by a sold-out debut at Red Rocks Amphitheatre and three consecutive gigs in Athens, GA (the latter of which were chronicled on their first official live album, LIVE FROM ATHENS GEORGIA, released in 2021).

The band released a two-track single Mary (B-Sides) in May 2019 - consisting of "Heart" and "No Vacancy." The following year brought the release of standalone single "Our Song" - already a fan favorite in their live rotation prior to release - as well as a livestream concert in July, held for thousands of fans on what would've been the date of another sold-out Red Rocks performance (cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic). In March 2022, the band released the emotionally charged track "Work Out," marking their first new music in nearly two years.

2022 also saw the band set out on their first full headline trek in nearly 3 years, a run that included their long-awaited, sold-out, two-night return to Red Rocks. And in 2022 alone, with the help of partners PLUS1 and Propeller, Rainbow Kitten Surprise raised over $170k for food banks in local tour markets, LGBTQ+ causes, and mental health initiatives.

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)

  • A Must

    by Dani on 2025-10-15Rating: 5 out of 5

    Holy smoly!!! This show was wonderful. They have amazing, talented members. You could feel their emotions in every lyric. The entire crowd felt it, too. Please go see this band!! <3

  • The third time's the charm

    by AHeidrich on 2025-06-02MTELUS - MontrealRating: 5 out of 5

    I honestly didn't know what to expect from this concert. I had previously bought tickets for two of their concerts, but they were cancelled. As the saying goes, the third time's the charm; this was one of the best concerts of my life. I've loved this band for so long, and I was afraid since they had cancelled previously, and the band structure had changed. However, I'm pleased to say I was wrong to be scared. The stage was beautiful, their energy was exhilarating, and the songs felt better than the recorded version. I lived every second of the concert, and I'm still so happy that I went. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE, and I hope everyone who enjoys the band can experience them live <3

  • Superstar performance

    by Erika on 2025-05-25MTELUS - MontrealRating: 5 out of 5

    Absolutely amazing experience all around. I travelled about 6 hours to see the show in Montreal and I was so impressed by both the venue and the show itself. The venue was clean and well organized and the staff was super polite. The band was also incredible! Truly, such a fun, dynamic performance and they sounded fantastic! My only comment would be that the lead guitarist was not very visible from where we were sitting so we barely saw him but it was still very fun. The only issue we had was the the merch was relatively low in stock (especially for larger sizes) when we went so we ended up not getting anything. But that is the risk of going to the last show of a leg of a tour so really no complaints over all. I'd love to get the chance to see them again.

  • Incredible show

    by Sloane on 2025-05-23MTELUS - MontrealRating: 5 out of 5

    RKS was excellent live. They are amazing performers and their sound is just as good if not even better live as in the studio!

  • AMAZING

    by Arichooo on 2025-05-15Grey Eagle Event Centre - CalgaryRating: 5 out of 5

    Soooooo good!! First time seeing them live & it was even better than I could have imagined! Especially loved how many of their old hits they played, mixed with some new stuff! Was a tonne of fun!! Would definitely go and see them again!

  • Fantastic

    by CM on 2025-05-15Grey Eagle Event Centre - CalgaryRating: 4 out of 5

    Rainbow Kitten Surprise was amazing! The lights, their sound, their energy... superb!! The venue staff were fantastic too. Parking was a bit of a nightmare, but it was suggested to park elsewhere and shuttle in, so I'd suggest listening to that!! Also not a huge fan of having to stand the whole time, but again, it was known bedore hand, so can't really complain.

  • Amazing band

    by Live music rules on 2025-05-15Grey Eagle Event Centre - CalgaryRating: 5 out of 5

    Music was tight, they embraced the receptive crowd and brought us together for a memorable evening. Everyone left glowing, see them if you have the chance!
