Best Friends Girl

The #1 Cars Experience

Best Friends Girl recreates 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.  The Cars undoubtedly left their mark in popular culture with notable hits like “Best Friends Girl,” “Shake It Up,” “Magic,” “Let’s Go” and of course, “Moving in Stereo” which gained notoriety from its placement in the movie “Fast Times at Ridgemont High.”  Best Friends Girl is 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. Ocasek and Orr 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.”
