“[Raw] yet tuneful, with scratchy electric guitars and whomping live drums.” – The Los Angeles Times
On their new record, Rainbow Kitten Surprise prove that they don’t just have a knack for making incredible music – it’s in their bones. The genre-bending group unveiled the 10-track album today via Atlantic Records. Along with the album, the band shared a stunning performance of new track “Tropics” from their sold-out show at Morrison, CO’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre earlier this month. Listen HERE.

From the powerful, emotive opening of “Friendly Fire” to the triumphant exhale of “Tropics,” bones is the product of a band in perfect harmony with one another. Produced by GRAMMY® Award-winner Jay Joyce (Cage The Elephant, Orville Peck, Lainey Wilson), who worked with RKS on 2018’s HOW TO: FRIEND, LOVE, FREEFALL, the record pays homage to the band’s indie-rock roots while adding new layers that elevate it to an entirely new level. On the new music, frontwoman Ela Melo shares, “With ‘bones’ we were trying to reconnect with our fans and our roots as a rock n roll band in a new way. This record is representative of the 13 years that we’ve spent touring and making music together, and it’s one of our most cohesive to date. Here’s ‘bones.’”
Next year, the band will also be headed to Australia for the first time. Kicking off in Melbourne on Friday 23 January, they will then head to Brisbane and Melbourne with headline shows in each city, as well as support slots for Ocean Alley.

The new album follows last year’s LOVE HATE MUSIC BOX, which was released to widespread critical acclaim from Consequence, Paste, SPIN, Billboard, and more. The record was also the band’s first album in 6 years, following How to: Friend, Love, Freefall, which has seen massive growth over the last few months, with hit track “It’s Called: Freefall” even being played in the latest season of Ginny & Georgia and reaching #1 on the Billboard TV Songs Chart.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
