SUMMARY:Best Friends Girl – The #1 CARS Experience
DESCRIPTION:Best Friends Girl recreate the timeless hits of The Cars spanning a 35-year career\, with over 23 million albums sold and having more than 22 songs on the Billboard top 100. \nThe Cars undoubtedly left their mark in popular culture with notable hits like “Best Friends Girl\,” “Shake It Up\,” “Magic\,” “Lets Go” and of course\, “Moving in Stereo” \nwhich gained notoriety from its placement in the movie “Fast Times at Ridgemont High.” \nBest Friends Girl are comprised of lifelong\, top-notch\, professional musicians whose goal is to keep the music of The Cars alive with every performance! \nThe Cars’ journey began with Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr collaborating on several projects in the early 70’s. \n  Ric and Benjamin eventually completed the lineup with Greg Hawkes\, Elliot Easton\, and David Robinson in Boston in 1976. \nIn 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. \nIt 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. \nBut with eighties styling.”
