Zolar X Rocks the Star System

With their spacesuits, antennae, pixie haircuts, and prosthetic ears, nobody in L.A.'s 1970s glitter rock scene looked anything like Zolar X. Band members allegedly wore the getups offstage as well as on, spoke their own language, and, when forced to communicate in English, insisted they were from outer space. Now they're coming down to Earth for a documentary.

Luckily for us all, Zolar X recently reformed (though they were booted off The Next Great American Band before they finished a single song). P.S. They weren't the first musicians to claim alien heritage. Lead singer Question Mark of 60s garage legends ? & the Mysterians says he's from Mars and free jazzman Sun Ra always listed his birthplace as Saturn.
