KOLARS is a band based in Los Angeles.[1] Their sound is described as Desert Disco, Space Blues and Glamabilly.[2]

Founded by musicians Rob Kolar and Lauren Brown, both former members of folk group He's My Brother She's My Sister.[3]

In 2017, their self-titled debut album was released to wide critical acclaim; Huffington Post "instantly fell in love with their tantalizing sonics and their energetic apocalyptic marvel",[4] Paste Magazine "KOLARS play their unique blend of 70s glam rock, 90s grunge and twangy country with every inch of their body",[5] Denver Post "KOLARS has a knack for buffing your weathered perspective to a glinting sheen. The world isn't on fire; it's glowing."[6]

KOLARS have played over 400 shows since 2016,[7] including appearances at several music festivals: SXSW,[8] Treefort Festival, Rolling Stone Weekender,[9] London Calling, Gasparilla, Cornbury, Savannah Stopover, Dot to Dot, The Great Escape.

Lauren Brown is a "tap dancing drummer" known for her invention of that specific percussion style.[10]

Rob Kolar currently scores TBS' The Detour[11][12] and is the grandson of late British actor, Robert Shaw.
