Nothing But Thieves at Coca-Cola Roxy Theatre

Nothing But Thieves

In 2012, alt rock quintet Nothing But Thieves burst out of the sleepy climes of Southend, England with a bold new pop-tinged indie sound that quickly won over critics and fans alike. After a series of attention-grabbing EP's, the band released their self-titled debut in 2015 to much anticipation, garnering over 174 million streams to date. Just a year after the release of their sophomore effort Broken Machine, the band is back and hitting the road with fresh new material and fan favorites!

Rainbow Kitten Surprise at Gas South Arena

Rainbow Kitten Surprise

Rainbow Kitten Surprise may sound like the title of a Japanese game show, but the band's mature, genre-defying sound is as surprising as their choice of moniker. Drawing upon facets of grunge, alt-rock, blues and unapologetic pop, the North Carolina natives craft upbeat anthems that underlie lead singer Sam Melo's poetic, howling lyrics and vocals.
