Soon after, they released their debut album <em>Seven<\/em> independently, with the quasi-eponymous <em>RKS<\/em> following in 2015. The aforementioned <em>How To: Friend, Love, Freefall<\/em> was released in 2018, with the band undertaking a hiatus in 2023 \u2013 which meant pulling out of what would have been their first Australian tour, performing at that year\u2019s Splendour In The Grass. They returned a year later as a four-piece, with longtime bassist Charlie Holt exiting the fold last May. Maddie Bouton has taken over as both a touring and session musician, playing bass for the recording of the <em>Bones<\/em> album.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Rainbow Kitten Surprise 2026 Australian Tour<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"mb-4\">\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Friday, January 23rd \u2013 Forum Theatre, Melbourne VIC<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Saturday, January 24th \u2013 Catani Gardens, Melbourne VIC*<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Wednesday, January 28th \u2013 The Tivoli, Brisbane QLD<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Friday, January 30th \u2013 RNA Showgrounds, Brisbane QLD*<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Saturday, January 31st \u2013 The Domain, Sydney NSW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sunday, February 1st \u2013 Enmore Theatre, Sydney NSW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>* \u2013 Supporting Ocean Alley.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em><strong>A pre-sale for the headlining shows will go on sale from Monday, August 11th at 11am AEST.
