Lolawolf (styled as LOLAWOLF) is an American R&B/electropop trio, formed by actress and singer Zoë Kravitz & drummer/producer Jimmy Giannopoulos, based in Brooklyn, New York City. The band released the Self-Titled EP, Lolawolf, in February 2014, a full-length album titled, Calm Down on October 21, 2014 followed by EP Every Fuckin Day in June of 2015.
Lolawolf is composed of frontwoman Kravitz, and drummer/producer Jimmy Giannopoulos (Also of MOTHXR and Pretty Good Dance Moves). Kravitz became friends with Giannopoulos while living in Brooklyn. They began collaborating on music and released the track “Wanna Have Fun” in May 2013. 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. The band began recording tracks at movie producer Bruce Cohen's home studio in Hollywood at night. Cohen is Kravitz's godfather. Actor and drummer Raviv Ullman was a member from 2013–14.
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 A$AP Rocky appeared in the video for the 2014 single, "Jimmy Franco", and Miley Cyrus appeared in the video for the single, "Bitch".
