On November 22, Rainbow Kitten Surprise brought their Love Hate Music Box Tour to the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre in Vancouver, BC.

American singer-songwriter and musician Madi Diaz opened the night, sharing songs from her latest album Weird Faith.

Taking the stage just after 9 PM, Rainbow Kitten Surprise lead singer Ela Melo immediately captivated the crowd, radiating confidence. They kicked off the evening with “All That And More (Sailboat)” from Seven + Mary, seamlessly transitioning into “LOL.” The energy was electric from the start, with the audience belting out every word alongside Melo.

Melo’s stage presence was nothing short of mesmerizing. Her expressive movements and powerful vocals anchored the show, while her connection with the crowd created an intimate and emotionally charged atmosphere. She dazzled during songs such as fan-favourite “Cocaine Jesus.”

The visuals were as captivating as the music itself. The minimalist stage design with the band’s illuminated logo was elevated by dynamic lighting that perfectly complemented the mood of each song. Warm, soft hues created an intimate ambiance during emotional tracks, while vibrant, pulsating lights amplified the energy of upbeat moments like “Run.” The overall aesthetic was immersive yet unpretentious, keeping the focus on the band’s magnetic performance.

The setlist struck a perfect balance between nostalgic hits and fresh tracks from their newest album, Love Hate Music Box. Highlights included the always poignant SVO.”

Closing with “It’s Called: Freefall,” Rainbow Kitten Surprise left the crowd in awe, wrapping up a night full of passion, and connection. Fans, both new and old, left feeling exhilarated and inspired.
