"For immediate release

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, Meat Loaf, Patti Smith, Hall and Oates). 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.
Originally signed to Elektra Records, The Cars were one of the biggest rock and roll bands in the eighties who scored top ten hits with Best Friend's Girl, Drive, You Might Think, Shake It Up, Just What I Needed, Let's Go, etc. The Cars first came to world acclaim with their 1978 debut album produced by Roy Thomas Baker (the same guy who produced Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody"). The band were one of the first subversive rock groups to ride the New Wave movement from 1978 throughout most of the 1980s, but were also one of the few to generate massive commercial success since they last performed live together in 1989. One of the original lead singers and bassist, Ben Orr, died from cancer in 2000.

The band are special music guests on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on NBC television in the USA on Tuesday 14th March. The programme will be aired in the UK and Europe on Friday 17th March at 10pm GMT on CNBC (Sky Channel 505)."
