Genre-defying, Nashville-based quintet, Rainbow Kitten Surprise have released their emotionally charged new track “Work Out” today. “Work Out” marks the band’s first new music in nearly two years. Its melody and effervescent vibe is a stark juxtaposition to its poignant lyrics about the difficult relationships – of all sorts – that people struggle with.
The song is accompanied by a lyric video, handwritten by RKS frontperson Ela Melo. Watch the video now below.
Tomorrow, Rainbow Kitten Surprise kicks off their highly anticipated North American headline tour at the Township Auditorium in Columbia, SC. Most dates for the cross-country trek are already sold out, including back-to-back nights at The Caverns in Pelham, TN and a triumphant, two-night return to Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO, which sold-out in a matter of minutes of being announced. Always a festival favorite, Rainbow Kitten Surprise top the lineups at Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta, GA and Bottle Rock Festival in Napa, CA. Full tour itinerary is 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. The band – who has worked with PLUS1 since 2019 – is expected to direct over $25,000 towards these organizations on this upcoming run alone.
