Kings Kaleidoscope is an American alternative rock band based in Seattle, led by producer, singer, and songwriter Chad Gardner. Their music features an eclectic range of electronic, woodwind, string, and brass instruments, with a musical style described as indie rock, meets hip hop production with a sprinkle of Disney.

The marriage of electronic and analog soundscapes is a love letter to Motown and math rock, with illustrative lyricism that runs the gamut of haunting, uplifting, and resolved. Singer/songwriter Chad Gardner carries these lyrics with a soulful treatment that compliments calculated drum work to create a balance between groove and mathematics.

Often described as designed chaos, Kings Kaleidoscope's high energy live performances bring a collective spirit of improvisation and audience interaction that creates memorable moments night after night.
