Istanbul's garage/punk band Reptilians From Andromeda's new single is "Star Girl" song, a cover version of Zolar-X band. Zolar X is an American glam protopunk band, founded in 1973. Zolar X became known, on the Los Angeles club scene,as space-aliens. They spoke an 'alien language' of their own invention. They are referred to as "Los Angeles' first glam rock band" in the 1998 book Glam! Bowie, Bolan and the Glitter Rock Revolution by Barney Hoskyns.
In the 1970s, Zolar X's image was matched by their performances, stage sets, and music. They were the house band at Rodney's English Disco, which was depicted in George Hickenlooper's 2004 documentary Mayor Of The Sunset Strip. Zolar X played gigs with Iggy Pop, Michael Des Barres, Jobriath Boone, and the New York Dolls.
Longtime fan Jello Biafra released a deluxe edition of Timeless in late 2004. Zolar X reformed in 2005. Zolar X have been critically re-evaluated, with praise from the worldwide press.Zolar X articles appeared in the UK's rock magazine Mojo, plus Blender, Spin and the New Yorker Magazine. Timeless and demos of newly recorded Zolar X material have received frequent airplay on Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols radio show, Jonesy's Jukebox on Indie 103.1, as well as on Rodney Bingenheimer's KROQ-FM radio show.
The band reunited in 2005, and played for the first time since 1981. Zory Zenith was unable to participate because he received a 10-year sentence in Oregon for repeated instances of domestic violence.[citation needed] Ygarr and Eon Flash were joined by new bass player Jett Starsystems, formerly Jeff Porter, a former DJ at Rodney's English Disco, and founding member of Voodoo Church. Zolar X still play with metallic amp casings, silver platforms and backdrops, antennae headgear, and ever-changing outfits faithful to the 1970s glam era.
