Rising to prominence with psychedelic garage rock outfit Nazz in the late 1960s, the following decade saw Rundgren emerge as an in-demand producer working with the likes of Patti Smith, Meat Loaf, Hall & Oates, New York Dolls and XTC. Rundgren’s success as a producer was punctuated by a string of solo releases including hit songs We Gotta Get You A Woman and I Saw The Light, as he built a reputation for idiosyncratic studio work and elaborate live shows.
Coinciding with his 70th birthday, the tour also includes a three day long birthday party dubbed ‘Todd-A-Roo’ on Sydney’s Cockatoo Island from October 22-24. These dates mark Rundgren’s his first Australian tour since 2013, concluding in Adelaide with an appearance at the Crown & Anchor which promises to be a very intimate evening for fans of this cult favourite.
He’ll be backed on the Australian tour by Davey Lane’s Drunken Blue Roosters, led by You Am I guitarist and noted Rundgren superfan Davey Lane.
