RDC or 彩虹危险俱乐部 is a Shanghai-based rock quartet combining elements of experimental, indie-pop, post-rock, progressive, and electronica. They have been compared to the likes of Arcade Fire, The Decemberists, Local Natives, Neutral Milk Hotel and Sigur Ros. Their music has been featured on a handful of international mixtapes and podcasts and their bombastic and colourful stage-presence makes them one of the Mainland's most sought-after live acts.
