Todd Rundgren is an American singer, songwriter, and producer who started in the 60s with the psychedelic band Nazz in Philadelphia. His solo career started out successfully with such hits as 
I Saw the Light and Hello It’s Me (which was a reworked Nazz tune). He formed a band called Utopia (or Todd Rundgren’s Utopia) which concentrated on eccentric progressive epics, while also continuing to release solo albums. His production work started early, with work for Sparks, New York Dolls, and continued with Meat Loaf, XTC and The Psychedelic Furs, and many others.
Todd Rundgren is well known among his fans as being an electronic music revolutionary. His production techniques, and his belief that he has ability to play just about any instrument at a mastery level, allowed him to release some of the most honest and personal music of his time. Many of his solo albums, including Something/Anything were made completely by himself. That is, he played all the instruments, sang all the vocals, did all of the recording, editing, mixing, and mastering, and even distributed the album through his own record label, Bearsville. In the particular case of Something/Anything, there was actually one side (side 4) which featured songs performed by a studio band, placed on the album to show Todd’s ability in working with musicians.
For over thirty years now, Todd Rundgren has had a very successful musical career. He is currently performing in the band The New Cars, which features two of his own band members, and two of the remaining The Cars members. In addition, he released a solo album in 2004 entitled Liars, which featured the recurring theme of deceit and broken promises.

I'm seeing the man today at Helsinki. TR is one of my greatest musical idols of all time so I'm feeling slightly excited. I'd love to hear some songs from 'A Wizard A True Star' and 'Todd', but I know that most likely that ain't gonna happen tonight.

Saw TR at the Edinburgh Picturehouse on Friday 7th November 2008. He played all of Arena and it's even better live than it is on the album. Todd and his band were really good, and they also played some of his old classics. In particular Black Maria was outstanding! This is the 3rd time I've seen Todd - the last time was 1982 - and I don't want to leave that long a gap again! Please tour the UK again very soon Todd - and next time play Real Man! Todd rocks!

Can't wait to see Todd in the UK in November when he plays Mancheseter Academy 2 (Nov 6), Edinburgh Pcture House (Nov 7), Norwich Waterfront (Nov 22) and London Kentish Town Forum (Nov 23). The good news? He's going to play the entirety of his new album 'Arena' which could be my favourite album of 2008.
