Planet Plutonia?
"Planet Plutonia, Zolaria City," specifies lazor lead guitarist Ygarr Ygarrist. "I was beamed to Earth when I was born." Ygarrist, bassist Jett Starsystems and drummer Eon Flash all hail from the far, far away planet. They have come to our world--complete with glitter-rock space suits, alien hairdos and silver antennae--with a message of love, spoken in the alien language Zolaroid.

Zolaroid?
Zolar X members often converse exclusively in Zolaroid, which drives everyone around them insane. "Nop-Trea Vue Duras Varitrexon. Olio Ey Navietri Dowtra Dutra. Harmana Uvatrania Steburendom Valtropolis," offers Ygarr, then translates. "Greetings people of planet Earth. We come to observe and document. Music is our method to transmit to all through visions of performance."

Where is original lead singer Zory Zenith?
He currently resides at Two Rivers Correctional Institution in Umatilla, Oregon, for hitting someone over the head with a wine bottle. "He gets out in 2012," says Ygarr, "unless some miracle happens."
