http://takenbycars.multiply.com/ Introducing...Taken by Cars...a project which has melted a meaningful creation with the experience of indie rhythms, colorful melodies, touches of glowing dance inspired beats, androgynous vocals, nostalgia-infused lyrics, and agressive flows between fast and slow harmonies. Working within streamlined song structures, the band focuses on a language which aims to speak with a sensation all its own. A drive for a new sound emerges as five members stand lovingly to produce a debut which combines the intelligence of postmodern rock as well as their own longstanding influences in blues, chill, dance-punk, and other genres... <br><br>We appreciate the Friendship! <br><br>MySpace - http://www.myspace.com/takenbycars<br>YahooGroups - http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/takenbycars/<br>AMP - http://amp.channelv.com/takenbycars <br><br> <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,124,0" width="424" height="350" id="TwitterWidget" align="middle"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never"> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="false"> <param name="movie" value="http://static.twitter.com/flash/widgets/profile/TwitterWidget.swf"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"> <param name="FlashVars" value="userID=26030428&amp;styleURL=http://static.twitter.com/flash/widgets/profile/smooth.xml"> <embed allowscriptaccess="never" src="http://static.twitter.com/flash/widgets/profile/TwitterWidget.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="424" height="350" name="TwitterWidget" align="middle" allowfullscreen="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" flashvars="userID=26030428&amp;styleURL=http://static.twitter.com/flash/widgets/profile/smooth.xml"> </object> Tue, 20 Mar 2012 09:54:55 -0000 Wed, 9 Dec 2009 08:21:09 -0000 http://multiply.com/mu/takenbycars/logo http://takenbycars.multiply.com/ 100 100 http://takenbycars.multiply.com/photos/album/58/Party_Bear_Productions_presents_Touch_The_Techy_Romantics_Album_Launch with performances by Sleepwalk Circus, Nyko Maca + Playground, Out of Body Special, Taken by Cars, and Techy http://takenbycars.multiply.com/photos/album/58/Party_Bear_Productions_presents_Touch_The_Techy_Romantics_Album_Launch Wed, 9 Dec 2009 08:21:09 -0000 http://takenbycars.multiply.com/photos/album/57/Party_Bear_presents_Live_at_Ponti with Taken by Cars - July 4 & 18 and Techy Romantics - July 11 Party starts at 10pm!
