Nashville-based quintet and live sensations Rainbow Kitten Surprise have shared a new single entitled “Drop Stop Roll,” now available via Elektra Entertainment and DSPs The track notably marks the band’s first new music since 2022.

“Drop Stop Roll” – a fan favorite that the band has been playing live for the past year – glides along on a glassy clean guitar melody and steady beat on the way towards an instantly chantable chorus. It unfurls with a hypnotic harmony uplifted by psychedelic flourishes and ponderous lyrical poetry, creating a mesmerizing sonic experience.

Rainbow Kitten Surprise will embark on a seven-week North American headline tour this fall. Support comes from Indigo De Souza and flipturn on select dates. Rainbow Kitten Surprise has once more partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from every ticket sold will go to local food banks working to fight hunger and food insecurity. Rainbow Kitten Surprise has already raised over $170k for food banks in local tour markets, LGBTQ+ causes, and mental health initiatives.

These dates will be part of ‘Live in Colorado,’ a four-night run set around this summer’s July 4th holiday with the two nights at Red Rocks and two nights at Dillon, CO’s Dillon Amphitheater (July 2nd & 3rd). Fellow Nashville-based outfit The Brook & the Bluff will support all four dates.

The band have also just earmarked the fifth anniversary of their 2018 LP How to: Friend, Love, Freefall, with the launch of their Propeller Artist Hub. It notably features exclusive colorways of three albums, signed copies of How to: Friend, Love, Freefall, and a commemorative limited-run How to: Friend, Love, Freefall t-shirt available for purchase. All proceeds benefit organizations the musicians believe in and support, including official partners ACT – Abortion Care Tennessee, REFORM, PLUS1, Nashville Launch Pad Street Free Sleep, and Music Health Alliance. They also continue to give back to MAPS, Sandy Hook Promise, and Bloom.
