Depiction in Equestria Girls[]
Equestria Girls: Sunset's Backstage Pass[]
K-Lo and Su-Z are introduced as Sunset Shimmer and Pinkie Pie's favorite pop duo, PostCrush, reuniting for one night only at the Starswirled Music Festival after cancelling their last tour to go on indefinite hiatus. K-Lo, the lead vocalist and guitarist is presented as the "cool one" whereas "Su-Z", the drummer and backing vocalist is presented as the "zany one".
On the first night of the festival, K-Lo and Su-Z discover a magical artifact from Equestria called the Time Twirler, which they use to turn back time by one day, so they can make their reunion concert "perfect". Unbeknownst to them, Sunset Shimmer gets caught in the Time Twirler's effect and becomes trapped in the time loop with them. Whenever something went wrong with K-Lo and Su-Z's concert or it did not meet K-Lo's high standards of perfection, they used the Time Twirler to reset the day.
In Sunset's search for the Time Twirler, she and Pinkie Pie end up getting to meet K-Lo and Su-Z in person, and Sunset discovers them to be the cause of the time loop. Refusing to break the time loop until their concert is absolutely perfect, K-Lo and Su-Z have Sunset and Pinkie kicked out of the music festival, but they find their way back inside and confront K-Lo and Su-Z again. In the ensuing struggle, Sunset destroys the Time Twirler and breaks the time loop.
K-Lo believes her chance to rise back to stardom is ruined, but Sunset and Pinkie convince her and Su-Z that their fans do not care if their concert is perfect; they just want to see PostCrush play music and have fun. Remembering how much fun they used to have performing together, K-Lo and Su-Z reconcile their strained friendship and perform their song True Original—with Sunset Shimmer and Pinkie Pie on backup.
Equestria Girls: Digital Series (season 2)[]
In the second season of the Digital Series, Sunset Shimmer mentions PostCrush while introducing their light show expert for a backstage video at the music festival in How to Backstage. In the Choose Your Own Ending shorts, Su-Z's pet dog Princess Thunder Guts is featured in Lost and Pound. Depending on the ending, Su-Z reunites with her lost dog with the help of Rarity, Spike, or Fluttershy. K-Lo also appears with Su-Z on a festival brochure and also in person in the Rarity ending in a non-speaking role.
Other depictions[]
Kiwi Lollipop and Supernova Zap are featured in the "You Choose the Ending!" novelization of Sunset's Backstage Pass, My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Make Your Own Magic: Starswirl Do-Over, their role largely the same as in the special. In one possible ending of the novelization, they and Sunset Shimmer get trapped in the time loop for all eternity when the Time Twirler breaks. In another possible ending, K-Lo and Su-Z invite Sunset to join PostCrush in exchange for not foiling their plans, but they trick her when the time loop resets.
