ʻO nā mea hoʻokani mele o The Cars he mau ʻelele mālamalama o ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo "new wave of rock". Stylistically a me ka ideologically, ua hiki i nā lālā o ka hui ke haʻalele i nā "mea koʻikoʻi" mua o ke kani o ka mele mele.
ʻO ka mōʻaukala o ka hana ʻana a me ka haku ʻana o ka hui ʻo The Cars
Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka hui i ka makahiki 1976 ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Akā ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o 6 mau makahiki ma mua o ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o ka hui hoʻomana.
ʻO ka mea akamai ʻo Ric Ocasek lāua ʻo Benjamin Orr i ke kumu o ka hui. Ua hui nā kāne ma hope o ka hana a Orr. A laila he ʻāpana ʻo ia o ka hui ʻo Grasshoppers i ʻike nui ʻia ma ka Big 5 Show ma Cleveland. Aia nā mea hoʻokani pila i nā hui like ʻole - ma Columbus a me Ann Arbor ma mua o ka neʻe ʻana i Boston i ka makahiki 1970.
Aia ma Bosetona, ua hana ʻo Rick a me Beniamina, me ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Jason Goodkind, i kā lākou papahana ponoʻī. Ua kapa ʻia ka inoa ʻekolu o Milkwood.
I nā makahiki 1970 mua, ua hāʻawi pū ka inoa ʻo Paramount Records i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ka LP o ka hui. Ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i ka moʻolelo How's The Weather?. Ua helu ka poʻe mele i ka piʻi ʻana o ka kaulana, akā ʻaʻole makemake ka poʻe mele mele i ka hōʻiliʻili. ʻAʻole ia i hana i nā palapala, a, mai kahi ʻano pāʻoihana, ua lilo ia i "hane".
hanu hou
ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu, hana ʻo Rick lāua ʻo Beniamina i kahi hui papahana hou ʻo Richard and the Rabbits. Ma waho aʻe o nā mea hoʻoulu manaʻo, ua komo ʻo Greg Hawks i ka hui. Ma hope o kēlā, hana ʻo Ocasek lāua ʻo Orr ma ke ʻano he duo acoustic, ʻo Ocasek lāua ʻo Orr, ma Idler liʻiliʻi ma Cambridge. ʻO kekahi o nā mele i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e nā kāne ma ke ʻano he duet i komo i ka repertoire o The Cars.
Ua holomua nā mea, no laila ua kono ʻo Ocasek lāua ʻo Orr i ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Elliot Easton e hui pū me kā lākou hui. Ua hoʻomaka nā mea hoʻokani pila ma lalo o ka inoa ʻo Cap'n Swing. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu, ua hui pū kekahi mau lālā hou i ka line-up, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Glenn Evans, a laila ʻo Kevin Robichaux. ʻO Beniamina ka mea hoʻokani leo nui o ka bana, no laila ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hoʻokani bass.
Ua ʻike hope ʻia ka hui ʻo Cap'n Swing e nā mea pā o nā mele kaumaha. A hoʻokahi manawa, ʻakaʻaka ka waiwai i nā kāne. Ua hoʻohuli ʻo WBCN disc jockey Maxan Sartori iā lākou. Ua hoʻomaka ka mea kaulana e hoʻokani i nā mele mai ka hui demolent i kāna hōʻike.
Ua hoʻāʻo ʻo Ocasek e hui pū i nā lepili kaulana. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole i noʻonoʻo nā hui i ka hoʻohiki ʻana o ka hui ʻōpio, no laila ua hōʻike lākou i nā mea hoʻokani pila. Ma hope o ia mea, ua hoʻokuʻuʻo Ocasek i ka mea hoʻokani pila a me ka pahu pahu a hana i kāna'ōlelo noʻonoʻo pono'ī, a, i kona manaʻo, ua kūpono ke kapaʻiaʻo ka mea maikaʻi loa ma ke kiʻi "new wave of rock".
Lawe ʻo Orr i ke kīkā bass, loaʻa iā David Robinson ka pahu pahu, hoʻi hou ʻo Hawkes i nā kī. Ua hoʻomaka ka hui e hana ma lalo o ka inoa ʻo The Cars.
Ala noʻonoʻo a me ke mele o ka hui
Ua mālama ʻia ka ʻaha mele mua o ka hui hou ma ka lā hope o 1976 ma New Hampshire. Ma hope o kēlā, ua hana nā kāne i kahi hale hoʻopaʻa leo e hana i kahi album mua. ʻO ka haku mele Just What I Needed, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka makahiki 1977, ua hana i kahi manaʻo poina ʻole i nā mea pā a me nā mea hoʻokani mele. Ua hoʻokani ʻia ma ka lekiō ʻo Boston. He maikaʻi wale nō kēia hoʻololi o nā hanana no ka poʻe mele. Ua pūlima pū lāua me Elektra Records.
I ka makahiki 1978, ua hoʻopiha hou ʻia ka discography o ka hui me kahi LP o ka inoa like. Ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia ka moʻolelo e nā mea pā a me nā mea hoʻokalakupua mele. Ua lawe ka album i ke kūlana 18 ma ka Billboard 200. Ma waena o nā mele, ʻike nā mea pā i nā mele Bye Bye Love a me Moving in Stereo.
I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua hōʻike ʻia ka album Candy-O. ʻO ka mea nui o ka album ʻo ia ka uhi. Ua lawe ka hōʻiliʻili i ke kūlana hanohano 3 ma ke ʻano o ka nui o nā kūʻai aku ma ʻAmelika. Ma ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka album studio, hele ka poʻe mele i kahi huakaʻi nui.
I ka makahiki 1980, ua hōʻano hou ʻia ka discography o ka hui me ka album Panorama. Ua lilo ka moʻolelo i mea hoʻokolohua. Ua kiʻekiʻe ma ka helu 5 ma nā palapala kiʻi US. Ua loaʻa i ka poʻe Fans ka hana me ka mahanahana, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻōlelo ʻia e pili ana i nā mea hoʻokani mele.
I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua hana ka hui i kā lākou studio hoʻopaʻa leo ponoʻī, i kapa ʻia ʻo Syncro Sound. Ma ke keena, ua hoʻopaʻa nā mea hoʻokani pila no Shake It Up. Ma ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka LP, hele kaʻapuni nā mea hoʻokani pila, a ma hope iho ua hoʻolaha ʻo Ocasek lāua ʻo Hawks e hoʻomaha iki ana lākou. I kēia manawa, ua hana nā mea hoʻokani pila i kahi hana solo. Ua hoʻonui ʻia kā lākou discography pilikino me nā album hou.
Nahaha o na Kaa
Ma hope o ka hoʻi ʻana i ka hui, hana ka poʻe mele i ka hana ʻana i kahi album hou. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu ua hoʻopiha ʻia ka discography o ka hui me ka disc Heartbeat City. ʻO kēia album i manaʻo ʻia e ka poʻe loiloi mele ʻoi aku ka lanakila loa. Ua lanakila ka haku mele You Might Think i ka koho Video of the Year mai ka MTV Video Music Awards.
Ma hope o kekahi manawa, ua hauʻoli nā "fans" i nā haku o ka LP hou, i kapa ʻia ʻo Tonight She Comes. Ua ʻoi aku ka album ma luna o nā palapala kiʻi ʻo Top Rocks Tracks.
Ma hope o ka hōʻike ʻana i ka album studio, ua hana hou nā mea hoʻokani i kahi ʻoihana solo. I ka hopena o 1980s, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i ka album Door to Door, kahi i komo ai ke mele ʻO ʻoe ke kaikamahine. ʻO ka hopena, ua lilo ka mele i mea paʻa maoli.
ʻO ka haku mele ʻo ʻoe ʻo ke kaikamahine wale nō ke mele ʻaʻole i "pana" ʻia e ka poʻe hoʻohewa mele. ʻO ke koena o ka hana he "hāʻule". I ka makahiki 1988, ua hoʻolaha ʻo The Cars i ka hemo ʻana o ka hui.
I ka waena o 1990s, ua ʻike ʻia ka ʻike e pili ana i ke ola hou ʻana o ka hui. I ka manawa like, ua hoʻokō ka inoa ʻo Rhino Records i kahi hui pālua me nā mea hana i hōʻiliʻili ʻia.
A laila hoʻokani ʻo Orr me nā hui he nui, kākau pū me John Kalishes. A hui pū me nā hoa hana mua e hāʻawi i kahi nīnauele kikoʻī e hana i kahi kiʻiʻoniʻoni palapala.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā makahiki 2000, ua ʻike ʻia e pili ana i ka make ʻana o Beniamina. I kona wā i make ai, he 53 wale nō ona makahiki. Ua hakakā ʻo ia i ka maʻi maʻi pancreatic no ka manawa lōʻihi. Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo Soloist Ocasek i 7 solo LP.
Ua hoʻomaha loa ʻo Robinson mai ka hana hana. Ua ʻike ke kanaka iā ia iho i ka ʻoihana hale ʻaina. Ma hope koke iho, ua hana ʻo Easton me Hawks, Kasim Sulton, Prairie Prince a me Todd Rundgren i kahi papahana hou, ʻo The New Cars.
Nā Kaʻa i kēia lā
I ka makahiki 2010, hui hou ka hui. Ua lawe ka poʻe mele i kekahi mau kiʻi no ka pūnaewele kaiaulu a hoʻolaha i kā lākou hoʻoholo e hui hou. I ka manawa like, ua hōʻike ʻia kahi mele hou, i kapa ʻia ʻo Blue Tip. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu, ua ʻike ʻia nā kiʻi no nā haku mele Free and Sad Song ma ka ʻaoʻao kūhelu o ka hui. I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua hōʻike ʻia ke kiʻi wikiō no ke mele Blue Tip.
I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻopiha hou ʻia ka discography o ka hui me kahi album hou. Ua kapa ʻia ʻo Longplay ʻo Move Like This. Ua lawe ka diski i ke kūlana hanohano 7 ma ka pākuʻi. I ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka hōʻiliʻili hou, ua hele ka poʻe mele i kahi huakaʻi nui. Ma hope o kēlā, hoʻomaha hou nā lālā o ka bana. I ka makahiki 2018, ua hui pū nā mea hoʻokani pila e hoʻokomo ʻia i loko o ka Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I ka makahiki 2019, ua make ka haku a me ke alakaʻi o The Cars, ʻo Ric Ocasek. Ua make ka mea hoʻokani pila o ka hui i ke 75 o kona mau makahiki. Ua make ka mea hoʻokani pila i ka maʻi puʻuwai paʻakikī e ka emphysema.
