He formed Lars Lilholt Band the following year made up of Lars Lilholt, Tine Lilholt, Kristian Lilholt, Gert Vincent and Tommy Kejser. When Kejser became manager of the band, he was replaced by Tom Bilde (from Mek Pek Partyband)
The band has seen many changes and the present set-up is made up of Lars Lilholt (vocals, violin, guitar), Gert Vincent (electric guitar), Klaus Thrane (drums, percussion), Tom Bilde (bass), Kristian Fogh (keyboard) and Eskild Dohn (trumpet, saxophone).
Lilholt has written hundreds of songs, but by far the most famous is "Kald det kærlighed" (meaning Call it love).
