KOLARS is a rock/pop/glam duo based in Los Angeles. [1] Their sound is self-described as Desert Disco, Space Blues and Glamabilly.[2] It features Lauren Brown, a "tap dancing drummer" known for her invention of such style[3], and notable composer/musician Rob Kolar.[4]

Both are former members of folk group He's My Brother She's My Sister.[5]

Their self-titled debut album was released in April 2017 on KOLARecords[6], which charted on US College Radio for several months.[7]

Their album was released to wide critical acclaim; Huffington Post "instantly fell in love with their tantalizing sonics and their energetic apocalyptic marvel"[8], Paste Magazine "KOLARS play their unique blend of 70s glam rock, 90s grunge and twangy country with every inch of their body"[9], Denver Post "KOLARS has a knack for buffing your weathered perspective to a glinting sheen. The world isn't on fire; it's glowing."[10]

KOLARS have played over 200 shows since 2016[11], including appearances at several music festivals: SXSW[12], Treefort Festival, Rolling Stone Weekender[13], London Calling, Dot to Dot, The Great Escape.

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