Overview
After 17 years the eighties rock'n'roll band "The Cars" are reuniting today as "The New Cars" at 10am in Los Angeles at The House of Blues to announce a brand new live album entitled "The New Cars: It's Alive". The album also features three new studio recordings written by original Cars band members Elliot Easton (guitar) and Greg Hawkes (keyboards) and new lead singer and guitarist, Todd Rundgren ( the latter has produced albums for the New York Dolls, Meatloaf, Patti Smith, Hall and Oats). One of the new studio recordings, "Not Tonight" will be released as the first single.
The album was recorded live in LA earlier this year. The press conference will reveal details of the new album (released in the UK in mid May), and the band's co-headline tour of the US with Blondie. In the next few weeks, the band will be announcing details of their UK and European tour dates.document.write(unescape("
