To celebrate, the EP from the Mars Hill Church alumni will be available for free download for one week via the BadChristian website at: http://badchristian.com/campaign/liveincolor/.

"This EP is the best thing I've heard from Kings Kaleidoscope," said Matt Carter, Emery guitarist and BadChristian co-founder. "They are a band you have to experience live, and this EP and video are the next best thing.
"In Emery, we have always fought in the battle between Christian and secular audiences, trying to authentically be who we are and challenge people's cultural norms. Kings Kaleidoscope is going to do the same thing. That is why they belong on BadChristian, and we are stoked about it."
Added Toby Morrell, Emery guitarist/vocalist and BadChristian co-founder, "Kings Kaleidoscope is going to usher in a new era for worship music that goes beyond the congregational Sunday morning setting, yet evokes even more participation and engagement."
"We love Mars Hill and we're thankful for the time we got to be a part of the church," said Kings Kaleidoscope frontman and bandleader, Chad Gardner. "We now have the opportunity to do something different - something that extends beyond the boundaries of Sunday mornings - and create music for a larger audience. We want to create the best gospel-centered, Jesus-focused music on the planet. We are not a genre, we are Kings Kaleidoscope."

Featuring sections of strings, horns and two drum sets, Kings Kaleidoscope was born at Mars Hill Church in Seattle where the band led worship for four years. With this inventive setup, the band's self-described "designed chaos" sound could just as believably pull off a set at Coachella as it could a Sunday service playing all hymns. The band is best known for its ability to creatively re-arrange classic hymns, pushing the boundaries of modern worship music.
BadChristian was formed in 2013 by Matt Carter, Toby Morrell and Joey Svendsen. Carter and Morrell are worship leaders and founders of Emery, a successful touring rock band that has sold over 500,000 records and toured in 49 states.
