In a world of TikTok artists who have never stepped on a stage, Lost Stars is here to remind people of the unexplainable feeling of energetic and fun live music. Kansas City natives Damian Malnar (vocals / keys) and Charley Holden (guitar / bass / vocals) were childhood bandmates and friends, but it wasn't until reuniting at Belmont University in Nashville, TN that Lost Stars was formed.
In 2019, the band recorded & released their first EP, Sirens + Light featuring the song “Legacy,” and began playing shows across the USA. When Covid-19 hit, the band wrote & posted as many songs as possible. In 2021, one song, “Here’s To Being Single” would be heard & loved by millions, and kickstart a fan base that was hungry for more. They followed it up with other crowd favorites including “Blacklist,” “Vertigo,” & “I’d Rather Die.” The band has continued to tour a wide range of clubs and colleges around the US, while treating every season like a writing and production season.
Lost Stars has garnered over 35 million streams since 2021, and has shared the stage with the likes of The All-American Rejects, Neon Trees, COIN, A R I Z O N A, The Wldlfe, and Leah Kate. After dropping their 2024 EP i think i love you lately, the band began their current release cycle with “Don’t Look Down,” and “Nice to Know Ya.” Lost Stars looks forward to another EP coming out summer of 2025, and all the show dates that come with it.
