Though each Rainbow Kitten Surprise show has a compelling narrative, we were lucky enough to catch a performance that had a particularly relevant message. On June 9, the North Carolina-based band played an intimate show at The Troubadour in West Hollywood, CA, and Ones to Watch was lucky enough to stop by and see what stories the band had to tell. Frontman Sam Melo’s dexterous lyrics delivered over the band’s uniquely narrative playstyle condenses a vast expanse of emotions and experiences into a cohesive, consumable performance. However, there is one feature that is present throughout each of the group’s songs – a captivating story. With an eclectic sound that draws elements from classic folk, hip-hop, and rock, the band is a veritable chameleon in the world of popular music.
Rainbow Kitten Surprise is a band that defies all definition.
