Well it’s looking like the
tribute band scene is here to stay, and with the level of entertainment
people can experience it’s no wonder. But until recently
no one paid tribute to those exciting pop rockers from Boston,
The Cars. Well now someone has…Late in 2001 singer front
man Darryl Battaglia was looking to put together a band that would
appeal to the mass group of audience who loved the sound and total
vibe of the 80’s, and decided to form Candy-O, the ultimate
tribute to The Cars. He called on a couple former band mates who
were avid Cars fans and recruited two more veteran L.A. club rockers
and after a lot of research and rehearsal, Candy-O was born. Covering
all of The Cars radio hits (there were 14 in the Top 20) as well
as some popular album cuts, Candy-O captures the terminal cool
of The Cars live performance in all aspects. From Battaglia’s
uncanny “Ric Ocasek” looks and voice to the whole
band’s ability to emulate the unmistakable sound of The
Cars, the band has consistently amazed and entertained crowds
whenever and wherever they hit the stage. If you’re not
dancing and singing along to your favorite Cars hit by the end
of the show, you’re probably not breathing! So catch a ride
to the era that was all about fun and enjoy the sound and vision
of the 80’s created by Candy-O!!
Southern California's finest tribute
to The Cars!
