Rainbow Kitten Surprise (RKS) was formed in 2013, but it wasn’t until last year when they really started to gain momentum. Originally from Boone, North Carolina, this upcoming alternative indie band is a growing fan favorite that has two albums already out, with a third coming this April.
RKS’s sound overall has pounding beats you can groove to, supplemented by the awesome harmonies of co-vocalists Sam Melo and Darrick Keller. The lead guitarist, Ethan Goodpaster, elevates the already-excellent songs with intense improv guitar solos and riffs that only add to the groove of the music.
RKS is also well-known for their crowd involvement during their concerts. If you go, expect to see lots of crowd surfing. They are currently touring, and their tickets aren’t terribly expensive, so check out their nearby concert locations below if you want to be a part of the next big thing in the alt-indie genre.
