Greg Hawkes, keyboardist and co-founder of The Cars (1977-1987), helped define the sounds of the 80’s with his signature style heard on The Cars’ “Let’s Go” and “Just What I Needed." http://www.greghawkesmusic.com

Eddie Japan is perhaps the most elegant band to emerge triumphant from Boston's rough and tumble Rock 'n' Roll Rumble, a musical ensemble that feels as comfortable to listen to while sipping champagne at some “Great Gatsby” flashback party as they do while chugging a beer at a dingy rock club. The band is, at its heart, an exercise in contrasts and time travel. To listen to Eddie Japan is to be transported somewhere else entirely.

Take, for example, the band's 2015 single, “Albert,” with its smooth, plaintive vocals and big band horns scorching a desert heat-induced mirage of hearing the band play Rick's Cafe in “Casabalanca.” It's a richly layered song that feels ripped from time, and yet sits strangely comfortably in the roster of the game “Rock Band 4,” alongside tracks by the likes of Rush, Soundgarden and fellow Bostonians Aerosmith and the Mighty Mighty Bostones, among numerous others. It's the band's best trick: Feeling both classic and fresh, feeling unique and yet fitting well with an eclectic combination of artists.

Perhaps this unique quality is what lends the band so well to time travel: The band has shared the stage with acts such as Midge Ure and the Fixx, and toured with Matha Davis and the Motels, but most recently has made a mark backing Cars keyboardist Greg Hawkes playing the band's classic hits, such as “You Might Think,” “Moving in Stereo” and “Since You're Gone.” Seeing Eddie Japan in this mode is, on the one hand, a transformation, the band easing into the role of New Wave-era rockers with a sort of naturalness, but they also remain very much themselves at the same time, riding on vintage style, gorgeous vocal harmonies and an effortless sense of rock 'n' roll cool, both timeless and a band out of time.
