et another won't-ever-happen rock reunion tour is happening. The Cars shook off acrimony and rust while rolling out vintage and late-model tunes at a sold-out 930 Club on Monday.
The glory days lineup of the Bosto
n-based combo has reformed for the first time since the late-1980s, minus bassist Ben Orr, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2000. The get-together wasn't all about nostalgia: Much of the 90-minute set came from "Move Like This," a CD released earlier this month after a 24-year recording hiatus. And some of the new material fused fabulously with the back-in-the-day offerings. The chorus of the synth-driven "Blue Tip" was as catchy as pop music can get, though the song didn't get the response it deserved from the unfamiliar fans. Another highlight: "Sad Song" from the latest disc sounded like Dylan doing techno.
