Lolawolf is composed of
frontwoman Kravitz, and drummer,
producer and film maker Jimmy Giannopoulos (also of
MOTHXR and
Pretty Good Dance Moves). Kravitz became friends with Giannopoulos while living in Brooklyn. Kravitz asked them to join her in
Los Angeles while working on the independent film
The Road Within, to help take her mind off the difficult role of playing an
anorexic. Actor and drummer
Raviv Ullman was a member from 2013 to 2014. Lolawolf debuted at
Manhattan's
Mercury Lounge in November 2013, and released the self-titled EP,
Lolawolf, in February 2014. The band is named after Kravitz's half-siblings, Lola and Nakoa-Wolf, children of her mother,
Lisa Bonet and step-father
Jason Momoa. They rejected
major label offers to release music with the independent label Innit Recordings through
Kobalt Label Services, letting them retain creative control. Lolawolf released their debut album,
Calm Down, in October 2014, which was recorded in
the Bahamas and
Las Vegas. Rapper
ASAP Rocky appeared in the video for the 2014 single, "Jimmy Franco". Lolawolf opened for
Lily Allen,
Azealia Banks,
Warpaint, and Miley Cyrus, for her shows in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth as part of the
Bangerz Tour in late 2014. They released the five-track EP,
Every Fuckin Day, on June 23, 2015. They toured with
Twin Shadow, and performed at
Austin's
South by Southwest, the
Paris Afropunk, and
Philadelphia's
Made in America music festivals in 2015. In 2016, they appeared at
Lollapalooza, released the song, "Teardrop", featuring Miley Cyrus, and were currently in the studio recording a follow-up to the EP
Every Fuckin Day, reportedly titled
Prom. ==Discography==
