Watching this after the announcement that Charlie Holt has been asked to leave the band. Super sad that it came to this, what an incredibly special group.
RKS is one of those bands that is so good but their experience live in concert is just so superb. If they come to your town, do NOT hesitate to go. One of the best shows of my life
I’m so glad I saw your comment. They were coming to my city and I was hesitating on if I should go because I only knew one song from them that I really liked. Well, I went and had the best time! They are a blast live!
This is like finding that hidden gem. I'll be honest it was the vocals that were like hey come inside check out the vocals, then you hear this intoxicating licks on the guitars and I'm like you have guitars to? Then that smooth bass lines kick in and my head shakes and I'm like am I in a dream? That bass drum and slick work on the fills come on and my head explodes.
YOOOOO i'm legit dancing around my room to this set, the amount of talent in this band is incredible. ALSO that bass player stole my heart but it's whatever
Thank you guys for this session. My boyfriend killed himself a month ago and he loved you guys more than you know. It's how I stay connected and celebrate him. Thank you for giving me this connection to him.
God I’m sorry I’ve know rks for a long time but I attempted to kms last year or almost two years ago now and I was listening to them around that time and it’s sad but this band I love so much I feel like their music helped me a lot
@@aubreyanthonyit’s unfortunate. Charlie is part of the OG RKS sound that cannot be replaced. I hope Ela can find it within herself to make the band whole again. Literally everyone else in the band got along with Charlie.
this band is proof that you dont been a million drum hits and crazy fills the drummer does an amazing job filling the space and complementing the rest of the bands sound
As someone who listens to their studio music obsessively, this was awesome to watch. It's cool to see them change up their songs a little bit. I also think the harmonies were beautiful. Definitely expanded since the albums, and I'm sure they will only get better. I think the bassist's voice adds in a new layer that hasn't been felt before on the studio version of all of these songs, and it's a really nice addition. Solid as always.
So many comments but no one has pointed out the fact that this band is so driven by their music and how it effects people that they're willing to carry all their own cargo to concert just to give a badass concert. Prop RKS. You guys are dope af.
I clicked this video thinking this band was going to be a joke (I mean come on who thought of the name Rainbow Kitten Surprise?). Although 10 seconds into their first song and I was blown away!
Me too. My English teacher turned me on to RKS during my sophomore year of high school and I thought they were gonna be in the same vein as Tenacious D. I’m now I’m a die hard fan.
had the pleasure of catching these guys at Pandora house during SXSW and holy shit, blew me away. They put on a hell of a show. That was 3/16 on my birthday and haven't stopped jammn them everyday. The vocals, the band, the chemistry between the members, everything on point.
Saw them at Electric Forest this year and they were one of my favorite and most moving sets of the festival. Never heard of them before this summer but now I honestly listen to them almost every day
You can just tell that they are having so much fun performing their creation. Hope it stays that way. Great to see such genuine joy in people's eyes while they are doing what they love.
I love the commentary between the songs. Really good moderation - perfect questions and hes genuinely interested, and most of all he knows when to shut up and let the music roll! Gotta appreciate these people too!
RBS is my favorite band. I discovered them on spotify in 2017 and it's the first time of my life I don't hesitate to answer the question what is your favorite band.
Best band I've ever seen in concert and sound so much better in concert than on CD and just their stage presence and performance is just bar none better than most performers
its interesting because "devil like me" is my favorite song by them. I don't know the motivation behind it, and i don't know that i ever will, but it hits me deep every time. hits me on a deep level
The casino that I work at starting playing Devil like Me... I mention to my coworker Jerry, hey, this Bands called "Rainbow kitten surprise".. and that's how the entire cashier department at my job learned about "rainbow kitty surprise" 😂😂
Not every Audiotree Live session has a good indie band but every good indie band has an Audiotree Live session
Reminds me of that quote where not all racist support trump but .. lol
It sounds like one of those question from online IQ test lol
Trumpy this trumpy that trumpy trump trump
True. Those who cant see it.. never will
@@matrixsurvivor3216 I’ve never in my life seen someone try so hard to be funny and absolutely botch the quote as bad as I just saw you do
Watching this after the announcement that Charlie Holt has been asked to leave the band. Super sad that it came to this, what an incredibly special group.
:(
And talent-wise it's like they jumped off a cliff on this last album
I love how the drummer just looks hyped to be there.
RKS is one of those bands that is so good but their experience live in concert is just so superb. If they come to your town, do NOT hesitate to go. One of the best shows of my life
Rks is amazing so talented never heard them live but such an amazing band
Lady lie love it
I’m so glad I saw your comment. They were coming to my city and I was hesitating on if I should go because I only knew one song from them that I really liked. Well, I went and had the best time! They are a blast live!
I second that, I'm seeing them 3 times this year❤
I had tickets for nov that passed but they cancelled their tour I was so excited 😩
I like how audio tree announces the date so specifically as if there is a time traveler amongst us viewers
You never know.
Nice to meet you.
Always someone pointing out the Obvious

So sorry❤️
I just love how involved they all get in Lady Lie, it's amazing to see them all have fun and enjoy their song, I love this band to death.
Ela and Charlie's voices work so well together! Charlie is perfect for backup vocals
Yesss!! i think exacly about this... Charlie as backup vocal is angelical. I'm in love
Why doesn’t ela want to work with Charlie anymore?
@@utubegirl00 I wish I knew :( reddit has lots of theories right now but I’m honestly just so sad about this whole situation

Every time he hit the drums he looked at the other guys like "SURPRISE, I HIT THE DRUMS!"
This is how it feels to listen to him drum though :D
Maybe it’s just cocaine
I think it helps him to keep the rythm to move jumpy like that. I‘m not sure, if I also do that.
hes just having a good time bro
Seems like he’s just having a good time with his friends
all these songs hold such an emotional weight for me, but these versions genuinely made me teary eyed. in like a good way.
Same, the RKS album got me through some shit
dang. me too.
❤yes me too
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the drummer's facial expressions
Perfect!
Dude he’s always amped lol.. he stupid good! His face carry’s that “just happy to be here” look 😂

yeah, i like this live session way better than what they have recorded.
This is the first time I've heard them. I'm lovin' their sound!
I agree. They always seem to put a special twist on their songs during their studio sessions, and I adore it.
This is my intro to them. I love it!!!
So many comments but no one has pointed out the fact that this band is so driven by their music and how it effects people that they're willing to carry all their own cargo to concert just to give a badass concert. Prop RKS. You guys are dope af.
Perhaps the only band that can bring me to tears.
Just found this band yesterday....can't stop listening...First Class blows me away
according to Spotify out of my 111,000 minutes listening to spotify in 2021 4,500 minutes was “first class”. im still addicted to that song lol
@@josephgallicchio3952 Know other bands good like them too? I recently found too
@@lucasdesouza9674 flip turn, lewis del mar, the unlikely candidates, still woozy, briston maroney, and sticky fingers:)
@@josephgallicchio3952 nooooot sticky fingers like i love their music but they are such awful people
@@bigguy5667 they are??? i had no idea
Showing up to the party late. This is music gold.

Same. YT recommended Freefall. Name seemed like a joke, the artwork didn't, and I'm glad I clicked.
Apparently the person who thought of the name was their friend who was in the hospital and on morphine, so, there ya go.
Three years later I'm still loving the cadence change in these live versions. Particularly 'American Shoes'
I wish I could like this multiple times
tattsncurls babbwjv. Mm a
Create multiple accounts
haven't seen more than 10 seconds, but I just... I love this band name.
the drummer has a constant look of “let me at em”
can we address how bomb the guitarist on the right is?
You can tell how much they love what they're doing, it warms my heart i love them :')
The bass player is a massive g

I'm so happy I found this. I've listened to this like a thousand times till now.
Like a thousand times or an actual thousand times?
i fall in love with this band the more i listen to them 💕
I can’t believe I found them just this 2020 :/ ... great music great band.. “pura vida” from Costa Rica
I only found this guys in the end of 2022 hahahahaha
Saw them at Electric Forest this year and they were one of my favorite and most moving sets of the festival. Never heard of them before this summer but now I honestly listen to them almost every day
Awesome to see bands I've been seeing live for years in my hometown getting the recognition they deserve. 💚
Boone is where? Not being facetious I’m genuinely curious about these guys I love their sound
the fact that sheetz is their go-to place makes me love them that much more!
This is my fav band sitting here having a stressful day and I'm laughing and singing. This band has saved me.
I feel in my heart of hearts that this is the absolute best representation of what this album is… even more so than the actual album.
If Shakey Graves and Kings of Leon had a baby
The singer sounds like good times and the band sounds like comfort
These gentlemen will change the world of music.
MY FUCKING GOD THE END OF LADY LIE IS JUST MESMERIZING!!!
hands down my favorite
You can just tell that they are having so much fun performing their creation. Hope it stays that way. Great to see such genuine joy in people's eyes while they are doing what they love.
This is the happiest band I ever seen. Good performance. But incredible live.
I love the commentary between the songs. Really good moderation - perfect questions and hes genuinely interested, and most of all he knows when to shut up and let the music roll! Gotta appreciate these people too!
Being able to open for you guys was a dream. I am so glad to see you guys doing great things. Keep it up.
cool harmonies, cool drums, cool band
RBS is my favorite band. I discovered them on spotify in 2017 and it's the first time of my life I don't hesitate to answer the question what is your favorite band.
rainbow BITTEN surprise.
RKS IS THE BEST THING THAT I'VE EVER PUT IN ME EARS.
Best band I've ever seen in concert and sound so much better in concert than on CD and just their stage presence and performance is just bar none better than most performers
drummer boy's smile is contagious
Holy shit the intro guitar part is from polite company
So good, wish they actually performed it in this setlist though
Yeah I was freaking out the album wasn’t released, so cool
How did I find an old wildfly comment on a random RUclips recommendation. I love it.
Just found this band, first song haunting, lyrics are 🔥🔥
Great seeing these guys blowing up online!! Seen their songs pop up a bunch this week!!
I just found this band yesterday and how the tables have turned. These guys are freakin amazing. I am so confidant right now from these sweet jams!
Glad to see you guys continue growing. Definitely one of my favorite bands.
I just found RKS in the bath from a spottify recommended song and I'm obsessed 🥲🫠🥺🥵🥰
props to the rythm for the harmonics and the bassist for the high harmonics especially in cocaine jesus
OMG These guys...The best!! .Cannot wait to see them live. My daughter and I will be first in line for tickets when they go on tour again.
sounds great!
feels good to finally listen to a good rock band again
Seven is so much better live
lady lie too, its so good.
You two are so correct
when you said Bonnaroo my heart fkn melted it's such a special place!! can't wait to see you on the farm guys!!!
I absolutely love Rainbow Kitten Surprise... This session is probably one of the best I've ever seen, aside from letlive. That was an amazing session.
I can't believe this moved me to tears
in love with the bassist
Boy do I have bad news for you
@@captainbooney what
Does anyone else feel the need to sit around and drink and ruin their life when they listen to the first song? Hahaha..
its interesting because "devil like me" is my favorite song by them. I don't know the motivation behind it, and i don't know that i ever will, but it hits me deep every time. hits me on a deep level
Always drinking and smoking listening to them. 👌🏼
yes but hard drugs instead of drinkin lmao thought i was the only one
audio tree is not a misnomer ... what a mix!!!! brilliant. I want my life to be this clear.. every sound every thought.
Favorite song right off the bat! 🌈😻
I freaking love you guys! Pretty sure I am responsible for half of the view count.
I JUST NOTICED THE INTRO SONG WHEN THEY WERE UNLOADING THE TRUCK WAS THE TUNE OF POLITE COMPANY AJSKDKAJ
YEAH RIGHT I WAS HOPING FOR SOMEONE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT
but wasn't this recorded before the release of that album?
Gives me chills every time I hear it. These guys are my fave!
I've never heard of this band before but They've definitely made a spot on my favs. They remind me of modest mouse which is one of my favs.
Modest mouse meets cage the elephant
Still need that intro as an actual song!!! And still love this. Thank you!!
I love RKS but when I tell someone about them, the name of the band's quite unfortunate
I always say "Come for the name, stay for the music!"
@@ThePiratey Exactly! but the name is cool IMO
it's the insane name that made me check them out. Stupid band names are the best. And in this case, I'm glad I did.
I just call them rainbow lol I’ve been listening since early 2017 and I love all there songs
The casino that I work at starting playing Devil like Me... I mention to my coworker Jerry, hey, this Bands called "Rainbow kitten surprise".. and that's how the entire cashier department at my job learned about "rainbow kitty surprise" 😂😂
First audiotree video I've seen and I'm beyond impressed with everything but especially the interviewer. good ass questions.
So glad they played wasted on me , my favorite!
You guys rule so much, how am I only just discovering you. Rad jams, groovy lyrics. When are you coming to Texas? Lol.
I listen to this recording just about every day.
Intro instrumentals is from the last track called polite company on the new album
Happiest drummer in the world ✅✅✅
God, I adore this band ❤
That bassist is the definition of swag
RKSFANFORLIFE..........loved this. Love all your lyrics.They touch my soul and completely consume me.
I can never get too much Rainbow Kitten Surprise.
I can't wait to see what Ela has to offer! This band has always been a favorite of mine!
The drummers happiness is contagious! Love it!
Hard to belive this is liiiiive. Beautiful

This band gives my heart hope
Talented song writers and performers… what else is there? These guys nail it!
