Cars principals Elliot Easton and Greg Hawkes are teaming with veteran singer/songwriter Todd Rundgren in a new incarnation of pioneering new wave rock act the Cars, which will tour and possibly record an album next year. Rundgren will step in for Cars frontman Ric Ocasek, who has no plans to participate in the project. Cars bassist/vocalist Ben Orr died of cancer in 2000.

Ummm... what the fuck?!? That's sorta like the new version of the Dead Kennedies without Biafra. - Mon, 21 Nov 2005 10:39pm

Elliot Easton has been helping out the remnants of Creedence as ReVisited instead of ReVival so there you go. Too bad cos The Cars were cool in their day. - Tue, 22 Nov 2005 2:24am

Nah, A Cars reunion with Chrissie Hines would be better. (In comparison 'looks wise' to Oscziek (sp?)) - Tue, 22 Nov 2005 11:00pm
