THE ZOLTARS If you hear in Austin's Zoltars elements of early Velvet Underground drone, Wreckless Eric's snark punk or the contemporary garage minimalism of, say, Wounded Lion, they're there for a reason. Lead Zoltar Jared Leibowich was a struggling filmmaker when he picked up his guitar and began writing songs with a knack for, as he told one interviewer, "stepping on friend's toes." Delivered in Lou Reed-like deadpan, the songs on the band's debut Should I Try Once More? are super simple and deceptively funny and not going to be appreciated for either trait by many. So fuck 'em. With Sister Fister and Chain Link Stains. $6-$9. The Milestone.
