Genre-defying, Nashville-based quintet and live sensations Rainbow Kitten Surprise have unveiled the official music video for their emotionally charged track “Work Out”- WATCH HERE.  The stunning visual – directed by Joey Brodnax – is the companion piece to the band’s first new music in nearly two years. Released in April, the song’s beautiful melody-line and effervescent vibe stands as a stark juxtaposition to its poignant lyrics about the difficult relationships – of all sorts – that people struggle with.

Rainbow Kitten Surprise is currently in the midst of their North American headline tour with nearly all of the remaining summer dates sold out, including a triumphant, two-night return to Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO, which sold-out in a matter of minutes of being announced. The band’s Fall/Winter tour – which includes a second North American leg as well as a European run – is set to kick off on September 2^nd in Toronto, ON, and is on sale now.  Full tour itinerary listed below.

For all upcoming headline shows, Rainbow Kitten Surprise has again teamed up with PLUS1, ensuring $1 of every ticket sold will go to local food banks working to fight hunger and food insecurity in their communities. As of April, the band had already donated $25,000 to the organization and is on track to donate $75,000 on this upcoming summer run alone.

The band – who has worked with PLUS1 since 2019 – is also a founding partner of their LGBTQ+ Equality Fund. The fund will support grassroots organizations including Appalachian Outreach and Tennessee Equality, both of which help support LGBTQ+ youth in the South. To kick off the fund, the band launched a special wardrobe auction of their on-stage outfits previously worn on tour.  The auction closes today at 3pm ET, with all proceeds going to the Equality Fund.

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. Now boasting over 1 billion global streams across platforms, the band first began building their devoted fanbase with independent albums “SEVEN + MARY” (2013) and “RKS” (2015).  Arriving in 2018, the band’s breakout full-length debut for Elektra, “HOW TO: FRIEND, LOVE, FREEFALL.” Produced by Grammy Award-winner Jay Joyce (Cage The Elephant, Sleeper Agent), the album featured 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 saw the band make 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 Amphitheatre and three consecutive gigs in Athens, GA—as chronicled on their first official live album, “LIVE FROM ATHENS GEORGIA,” released in 2021. Most recently, two longtime fan-favorite tracks began to take off organically on TikTok, with “It’s Called: Freefall” and “Cocaine Jesus” experiencing massive upticks after user-created content on the platform went viral – resulting in over 11 million *weekly* streams for the band. The songs now boast 108 and 94 million streams, respectively.

Rainbow Kitten Surprise is: Ela Melo (she/her; lead vocals), Darrick “Bozzy” Keller (he/him; guitar, vocals), Ethan Goodpaster (he/him; lead guitar, vocals), Charlie Holt (they/them; bass, vocals), Jess Haney (he/him; drums)
