Over the next year the group widely expanded in size and sound by adding three more members: Ethan Goodpaster (Electric Guitar), Jess Haney (Drums), and Charlie Holt (Bass). What started out as just two college students with acoustic guitars would soon turn into a full band with a unique sound and style.Īfter recording RKS’s first EP “Mary” in an old dorm room on the campus of Appalachian State University, the duo decided to take it up a notch by adding more members and instruments to the band. RKS was formed in early 2013 when the first two members, Sam Melo and Darrick “Bozzy” Keller, decided to begin writing and composing music together. The members asked him to name the band as he was leaving the hospital, and, still under the influence of morphine, he named the band Rainbow Kitten Surprise. Their highly unusual band name is credited to a roommate of RKS. The band takes influence from great artists like Modest Mouse and Kings of Leon, as much as Frank Ocean and Schoolboy Q. With chilling harmonies, dynamic instrumentation, and introspective lyrics, their genre-defying sound will keep you humming their tunes all day long. Rainbow Kitten Surprise and all five of its members hail from the mountains of Boone, North Carolina.
