After months of teasing a new song during their live shows, Rainbow Kitten Surprise released their new track “Sixteen”. It is the band's first release of this year, following their album “Bones” released in September 2025.
On the song, the band shares, “This track is slightly different from a lot of what ‘bones’ carries, so we didn’t actually include it on the record but we’re happy that people are going to hear it. Topically it’s a dual thing. One, it’s sort of a fantasy life that’s getting displayed, especially the idea of being the ‘prom queen at sixteen,’ your first prom ever. Two, I think on a more universal level, the song is about triumph over death and the idea that we all still live on past our prime, even past our lifetime. We live on in the memories of people.”

Rainbow Kitten Surprise are currently on their sold out world tour in support of “Bones” with the support of Common People and Spacey Jane. The North American leg of the tour began in March in Okeechobee and will conclude in Pittsburgh in September, also includes festival appearances at Bonnaroo and Zootown,
Once again, the band has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 per ticket from this tour goes to the Rainbow Kitten Surprise Fund, dedicated to building a more just and compassionate world by uplifting marginalized communities, expanding access to vital resources, and delivering critical support in times of need.
