mark in popular culture with notable hits like Best Friends Girl,
Shake It Up, Magic, Lets Go and of course, Moving in Stereo which
gained notoriety from its placement in the movie Fast Times at
Ridgemont High. Best Friends Girl are comprised of lifelong,
top-notch, professional musicians whose goal is to keep the music of
The Cars alive with every performance! The Cars' journey began with
Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr collaborating on several projects in the
early 70's. Ric and Benjamin eventually completed the lineup with Greg
Hawkes, Elliot Easton, and David Robinson in Boston in 1976. In the
confusion left behind from the death of disco and the angst of punk,
they forged a new direction bringing together the synthesizer sound
with classic rock and roll roots. It created a unique sound for the
time and icon John Lennon became a fan stating, "I think The Cars
'Touch and Go' is right out of the fifties Oh, oh A lot of it is
fifties stuff. But with eighties styling.
