(English saying) 7-13 1978 King Features Syndicate. Inc I The Cars By JONATHAN TARIFF LIFE LN THE FAST LANE has become normal for The Cars. The hottest band out of Boston since "Boston," The Cars have been together only a year and a half. Yet, they've already played major gigs, opening for Bob Seger, J. Geiis, Nils Lofgren and Foreigner They've seen their two-track demo tape of "Just What 1 Needed" become the biggest request number on Boston FM; had two major labels actively fighting to sign them (Elektra won.

Arista lost); had their first album produced in England by the classy artiste Roy Thomas Baker, and watched the same album virtually explode onto the charts and radio playlists within two weeks of release. Clearly. The Cars are this year's hot model. The fact was loudly affirmed by the crowd greeting their local debut at the Tower last night. Welding one part melodious power pop to one part New Wave frenzy, with smashing vocals fused to playfully unfocused lyrics and chrome plated melodies, the group somehow manages to make the same old horny rock and roll themes come off as something new.

And something people must immediately acquire. As Cars' songwriter, harmony singer and rhythm guitarist Ric Ocasek tells it, The Cars had their "packaging concept" pretty well formulated before the band played its first gig, an auspiciously timed New Year's party on Jan. 1, 1977. "It was really a thing of rolling out the new model, you know. All the elements were in place from the name to the sound to the look of the group.

The major reason most groups don't make it is that they get hung up on one element, say on long guitar riffs that demonstrate how 'cool they are. Meanwhile, they've lost sight of the overall sound and impression they're making. That's what we wanted to avoid." THEIR VERY NAME, "The Cars," suggests what this band is all about, figures Ocasek, with a logic that is one part pragmatic, one part abstract. "What, after all is a car," he asks, "but the only formal privacy left in America. You hop in your car, turn on the radio, and adjust the temperature.

You're in control, plowing through the environment. Or you can wind up upside down, crushed into a telephone pole. It's a lot like life. And besides, cars are mechanized, and our music is sort of mechanized. It's the all-American 16 year-old dream." The perfect target audience.

Together with lead singer and bass player Ben Orr, Ric Ocasek has been kicking around the music biz, "in and out of various groups for the last 10 years." They met in Ohio when Ric was a student at Antioch (ah ha, the intellectual connection!) and "strongly into the folk music movement, especially the lyrics of Dylan and Joni Mitchell. Ben and I had a number of bands in the Mid-West, none very successful, but in retrospect good experience. We got to The Cars: This year's hot model play on bills with groups like the Stooges and MC-5, the first of the New Wave bands." Other Cars members also have had considerable dues paying experience keyboardist Greg Hawkes, in Orphan and with Martin Mull; and drummer David Robinson, "our semi-star," appraises Ric, who was a member of the original Modern Lovers. "ALL OF US HAVE learned a lot about management the hard way. So when we finally got The Cars together, we did it better.

We got a good manager (Fred Lewis, former road manager for J. Geils), and we took our time signing a record deal. We didn't jump at the first lame in advance and $10,000 to record and we'll take all your publishing deal that came down the pike. In large measure, we signed with Elektra because we really got a lot of artistic control." Another reason to sign was the chance to work with British producer Roy Thomas Baker, the dial twister behind Elektra's supergroup Queen. "Frankly, it was Thomas earlier work with the Zombies and Free that impressed us more," says admittedly very uppety, but brilliant a very fast study, very open minded to our ideas, a real humorist, and a technical wizard.

If we needed a ring modulator, he could go into the parts department and build one in three minutes. And this was the first New Wave band that he'd worked with, so he really got off on the project, on making the sound accessible to masses of lr I P0WHM0TC2 SitSs CLEAM-UP FILTH? 150 $g8S 1 11 oiiifu custom QUALITY on hoods, rrfpNtil. 1 I 29 S. 43th SI. irgl' BA 2-9938 CLOSED SVXDAYS ljSj.
