RKS was formed in early 2013 when the first two members, Ela Melo and Darrick "Bozzy" Keller, decided to begin writing and composing music together. What started out as just two college students with acoustic guitars, would soon turn into a full band with a uniquely controversial name.
After 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. 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). In that year, RKS independently released their first album "Seven" (Which was later re-released in combination with the band's first EP as a joint album titled "Seven + Mary"). The title song, "Seven" has been featured in many places on the web including in the very popular podcast by IGN, Podcast Beyond! The song "Devil Like Me" and its music video earned the band a spot in VH1's "Make A Band Famous" contest where they made it to the final 24 out of thousands of artists from across the US.
The group's main interest is producing a quality, unique, and fresh sound for all music lovers to listen to and enjoy. Their new album "RKS! Live from Athens, Georgia" is now available on iTunes & Spotify

Rainbow Kitten Surprise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With that face you make, when I come down, around here lately
Baby I just wanna ride, with the cool kids kicking it
Watching all the other sixs, fools on the interstate
Sugar shaking making it, lit like Christmas Tress
Light it up, let it go, let it go, let it go up and dry, up and dry
All the sons, all this no, easy come, easy go, go up and dry, up and dry
Don't you ever feel like you ever wanted anything more, than everybody, anybody else
Seventeen and bad, was the best you never had, and you want, since you never said for yourself
Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
Everybody got a name, everybody got a number
Seven sins, six frames, five for the two of us
Three's too much, if there's only one loving
Here he come, let him know, leave him more
Let him go up to dry, up to dry
Light it up, let it go, let it go, let it go up to dry, up to dry
I don't believe that anybody's got, ever felt this way, cause if they had, they never would of made me
They say "hell no!", wake me up at ten, tommrow, for my sake, keep the volume down please
Doesn't everybody try to do their best, at what they do best, and do less, of the bad to begin with
In "Seven," Rainbow Kitten Surprise brings us an introspective tale of wanting to belong, and feeling left out. The lyrics suggest that the singer's partner is not being entirely truthful with him or herself, which is causing him to feel isolated and dissatisfied. He craves the feeling of being accepted into a particular group or social scene, perhaps one that is effortlessly cool and carefree. The line "with that face you make, when I come down, around here lately" suggests that his partner is giving him the cold shoulder or not showing the same level of interest in him.
The chorus touches on the idea of letting go and moving on. The lyrics, "Light it up, let it go, let it go, let it go up and dry, up and dry / All the sons, all this no, easy come, easy go, go up and dry, up and dry," highlight the importance of letting go of negative experiences or people, and not dwelling on the past. The seven-count repetition of "Seven sins, six frames, five for the two of us / Three's too much if there's only one loving" refers to the different aspects that make up a relationship, and how balancing them is essential.
Overall, "Seven" examines the feeling of being on the outside looking in and calls for letting go of negativity and hurt. It is a reminder to stay true to oneself and not to compromise to feel accepted by others.

Full lyrics:
I'm not satisfied
With that look up in your eyes
With that face you make
When I come down, around here lately
Baby I just wanna ride
With the cool kids kicking it
Watching all the other sixs,
Fools on the interstate
Sugar shaking making it,
Lit like Christmas trees
Light it up, let it glow, let it pull, let it blow
Up and dry,
You're up and dry
A hundred suns, hundred notes, easy come, easy go
Up and dry
You're up and dry
Don't you ever feel like you ever wanted anything more
Than everybody, anybody else
Seventeen and bad, was the best you never had, and you want,
Since you never said for yourself
Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
Everybody got a name, everybody got a number
Seven sins, six frames, five for the two of us
Three's too much, if there's only one loving
Here he come, let him know, leave him hung, let him go
Up to dry
You're up to dry
Light it up, let it glow, let it pull, let it blow
Up to dry
You're up to dry
I don't believe that anybody's got, ever felt this way,
'Cause if they had, they never would of made me
They say "hell no!", wake me up at ten,
Tommrow, for my sake, keep the volume down please"
Doesn't everybody try to do their best, at what they do best,
And do less, of the bad to begin with
Doesn't leaving me mean a little less if you left my life
But never loved to begin with?
You never loved to begin with
You never loved me
You never loved to begin with
You never loved me
Don't you ever feel like you ever wanted anything more, than everybody, anybody else
Seventeen and bad, was the best you never had
And you want, sins you never said for yourself
Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
Everybody got a name
Everybody got a number
Seven sins in six frames
Five for the two of us
Three is too much when there's only one love
Here he come, let him know, leave him hung, let him go
Up to dry
You're up to dry
Light it up, let it glow, let it pull, let it blow
Up and dry
You're up and dry
For the six months you gave
The seventh month you keep
You stay
For six days and the seventh day you'll leave
And every day you're here
I count until you're gone
Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
