The tour hits Memphis’ Beale Street Festival (May 4th) this weekend before a west coast headlining run of historic venues that includes sold out shows at Seattle’s Paramount Theater (May 31st), Portland’s Roseland Theatre (June 1st-2nd), and Oakland’s Fox Theater (June 4th-5th), with second nights added in Oakland and at Los Angeles’ Wiltern Theater (June 7th-8th), due to overwhelming demand.The band will perform their biggest headline show to date with a sold out night at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, on June 11th.With an ever-growing fanbase, the band has sold out nearly all of their North American tour dates since last year’s release of their Elektra debut, “How To:Friend, Love, Freefall,” including the most recent winter leg highlighted by stops in Washington DC, Philadelphia, NYC, Chicago, Nashville, and more, with many markets adding second nights due to overwhelming demand.
Rainbow Kitten Surprise will be making their debut appearance on the iconic PBS music series Austin City Limits. The band will tape a full-set performance on May 6th at ACL's studio home in Austin, Texas to air later this year as part of the award-winning program's upcoming milestone Season 45.The longest-running music program in television history, Austin City Limits was recognized by Time magazine as one of 10 most influential music programs of all time.Past seasons have featured performances by musical legends, global superstars, and other acclaimed artists, including Willie Nelson, Robert Plant, Ed Sheeran, Foo Fighters, Brandi Carlile, Janelle Monáe, and more.
The band recently unveiled the companion visual to their album track “It’s Called:Freefall.”The mind-bending, animated video made its world premiere on Adult Swim‘s “Toonami” and can now be viewed HERE on the band’s YouTube channel.Directed by renowned animator Anthony Francisco Schepperd, the video is just the latest offering from “How To:Friend, Love, Freefall,” available now for streaming/download HERE.

With chilling harmonies, dynamic instrumentation, and introspective lyrics, North Carolina’s Rainbow Kitten Surprise has developed a genre-defying sound – as original and eclectic as the band’s name - that takes influence from artists like Modest Mouse and Kings of Leon as much as Frank Ocean and Schoolboy Q. Released in 2018, the band’s Elektra debut full length “HOW TO: FRIEND, LOVE, FREEFALL” – produced by GRAMMY award winner Jay Joyce (Cage The Elephant, Sleeper Agent) - amassed nearly 3 million streams in its first week alone and has been met with critical acclaim 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.”
Rainbow Kitten Surprise were recently profiled on “CBS This Morning Saturday” where they also delivered electrifying performances of singles “Hide” and “Fever Pitch.” The appearance followed the band’s release-week, late night television debut on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” Their engaging and distinct live performances have led to stand out sets at festivals such as Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits among others, building a rapidly growing, devoted fanbase that has resulted in selling out nearly every North American headline show they’ve played.
Rainbow Kitten Surprise is:Sam Melo (lead vocals), Darrick “Bozzy” Keller (guitar, vocals), Ethan Goodpaster (lead guitar, vocals), Charlie Holt (bass, vocals), Jess Haney (drums)
