WILMINGTON — Though Tropical Storm Colin rolled in last week to cancel many July 4th happenings in the Cape Fear region, it didn’t halt Rainbow Kitten Surprise’s Saturday night concert.
“The rain didn’t seem to impact the band or the crowd,” photographer Tom Dorgan of MoonFrog Media said. “It was a fun show and the crowd was pretty pumped.”

Originally from Boone, N.C., RKS has gained popularity over the last few years upon their move to Nashville. Consisting of Ela Melo (lead vocals), Darrick “Bozzy” Keller (guitar, vocals), Ethan Goodpaster (lead guitar, vocals), Charlie Holt (bass, vocals), and Jess Haney (drums), the band performed through 20 tracks from their three albums.
But before they electrified the venue with their indie-rock energy, Knoxville musician Briston Maroney, a former semi-finalist on “American Idol,” opened the show.
Below is the setlist of RKS and Dorgan’s photos of both bands from July 2.
