They played a number of tracks from her newly released album Loner like ‘More of The Same’ and ‘Soul No. Opening the night was Caroline Rose and her band, who brought a bizarre and ridiculously fun energy to the Strand. Their sound is rooted in folk and country, floats within alternative and indie rock, and is influenced by hip-hop and R&B. Since they began writing music in college in 2013, RKS has never been able to fit into a genre, and for good reason. This was RKS’s first time in Providence, and fans ranging from middle schoolers to folks in their 60’s all crowded in the Strand (formally known as Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel) to welcome the band. Hailing from Boone, North Carolina, Rainbow Kitten Surprise blessed Providence with an energetic show on their second leg of the How To: Friend, Love, Freefall tour on October 6. Say their name without smiling, I dare you. Featuring Caroline Rose Octoat The Strand
