I've literally been listening to these guys since 2013 when it was two dudes doing a set at the coffee shop inside the Appalachian State student union. Not trying to pull the "I liked them before they were popular" card, just saying it's been cool as hell to watch them get this far.
I love this. Sam sounded a little nervous at the beginning, but the band fed him some energy, followed by the energy from audience applause. Ended amazingly! It was such a relatable performance. 🖤 you guys, so happy for y'all!
Right?!! Once he hit his groove, it was awesome! Thats one of the best things about rks, imo, how much emotion bleeds into their music! This is honestly just s tease, lol
Its so crazy to see Jess ( the drummer) living the dream. He was a good friend back in middle and high school. We played bass drums for the high school marching band. If you see this, I'm so happy for you bro. To see you doing what you love really makes me happy. I'd love to see him again man
I encourage people to check out more of their stuff because i dont really think that this is a good representation of their talent. So do others in the comments it seems. My personal favorite is first class
MY SONS. I can tell they might have been a lil nervous (understandable) but I wish he could've done his crazy rolling on the ground shit n Charlie did his lil dance more still so proUD OF MY SONS
A mutual friend of the founders had a kid diagnosed with cancer. When they joked around as to what the band name should be if they were to become one the kid said "Rainbow Kitten Surprise!". Something fun, something sweet. They honored her by making this the band name

I think she needed to clear her throat but once she was singing more it got better.

I love rainbow kitten surprise. But I can't bring myself to tell my friends their name so I tell them RKS.
Truth be told I clicked because of the name

bassist reminds me of Jaco Pastorius
this guy definitely drinks his daily recommended dose of beard oil
I'm at the Pizza hut, I'm at the taco Bell, I'm at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell🎵
neilcheeseburger underrated comment
Kyran Gillman Lol no shade meant, just an observation
I’m so proud
It's like the Spin Doctors, but good.
Can’t wait to see RKS in Austin | TX next month😎
WooHoo!
GOOD point
SUCCESS ALL PERFECT
Cat Stevens rides again?
the band is good but it's safe to say it's their worst performance so far ://
Outstanding lie performance!!!
I have never seen Evangelicals dress like this.
Happy you are becoming Huge, sad because I wanted you for myself😻
the bass guitarist is Eddie from Empire Records
"The alternative/ameriana group" ??
That was really not good, pitchy and the mix was very poor
false
DonC drummers not that great either
5 different styles...like 3...
I can only hope this parody of contemporary hipsterism was intensional...
The sound was okay, but the lyrics..."I'm buying eggs and toast"?
That was terrible.
i reccomend checking out their spotify
Some parts are really nice, but overall way too hipster for me
Wow, that sucked. Was the drummer drunk, or what?
TERRIBLE PERFORMANCE
wrong
he is not even singing in key....come on.
not off key. a little cracky and it sounded like he might be sick or overcoming something, but, not off key
ok,maybe,I dont know the reason behind this,but this is not a very good performance.
This was a really bad performance...
The only thing surprising is that, with that name none of the members are female.
