For the third episode of ML Backstage, Mars Luna, Joshua Luna (Josh), Kainalu Kamai (Nalu) & Holokahiki Toves (Holo) invited their good friend Scott Yago (Scott) to help break down the behind the scenes stories, performances and creative processes of the first Mars Luna LP "Lost In Space" (available on Spotify & Apple Music). This is the first episode of two in the "Lost In Space" series. They discuss:

- the latest Mars Luna release "The Villain 2" and how it felt to hear Mars use the "f-word" in a song for the first time.

- the events that led to the creation of Mars Luna's "Lost In Space" LP and the song breakdown behind each song (Didn't Know, Good Girl, Nothing But Trouble, The Villain, Selfish, How Can I Live Without You).

- the "Lost In Space" studio sessions, how Morgan Wright transformed Mars Luna's sound from an acoustic singer-songwriter artist to a full fledge indie rock artist, and embracing experimentation.

- the "Lost In Space" photoshoot during Holo's birthday and the smoke bomb photography trend that was popular in 2016.

- Kainalu entering a photography contest for Hilton Hawaiian Village, how winning the contest gave him a free three nights at the hotel and why Nalu gave Josh the bed when they shared the room.

- how everything was written in the stars for the "Good Girl" music video to work out seamlessly, conducting a casting call that actually worked, filming at Rock Island Cafe and discovering Kainalu's *secret* spot to do photoshoots in Waikiki.

- Mars Luna's experience with Sofar Sounds Honolulu and Sofar Sounds Las Vegas, how house shows became the norm for Josh and Morgan to perform at before the "Lost In Space" release.

- Whether soul mates exist, whether love is a feeling or a choice and how to know for certain that you've found "the one".

- Who out of the four guys will find true love first and Scott asks the guys to name one dealbreaker personality/character trait for their future wives.
