New Todd album another mix of rock, soul and EDM


Ultimate Classic Rock has more detail son the new Todd album and importantly (for me) confirmation that UK dates are coming in the autumn. "On April 7, Todd Rundgren will put out ‘Global,’ the 25th studio album of his solo career. It’s his first record since 2013’s ‘State.’ In a press release announcing the news, the 12 tracks on ‘Global’ are defined as “a contemporary fusion of styles — rock, soul and EDM — which continues the tradition of boundary-breaking works from this visionary genius.” A few days after the release of ‘Global,’ Rundgren will embark on a U.S. tour beginning with three nights in Park City, Utah. This includes an appearance on ‘The Late Show With David Letterman’ on April 27, the same day ‘Global’ comes out on 180-gram vinyl.

As of now, the tour ends in Ft. Lauderdale on May 23, but Rundgren will soon reveal more U.S. dates that will run through mid-June, as well as a tour of the U.K. and Europe beginning in early autumn."

Also according to Paul Myers ... author of a very good book on Todd

Pull in Emergency @ Camden Barfly 23/07/10

I like to get out and see new and up and coming bands and last night I went along to the album launch for a Band called Pull in Emergency. As is the case most times for these types of gigs, there were also 3 other bands on the bill, and I have to say that all had something to offer. Hella Better Dancer http://www.myspace.com/hellabetterdancer The night began with a bunch of 16 year olds, fronted by Tilly Scantlebury. They are a band that mange to fuse elements of early Cure, and PJ Harvey in a pleasing manor. I really liked the guitar work by Soph Nathan. Like all good guitarist she adds colour where it is needed without over powering the songs. Of the songs they played I really liked 'The City Sea' and new rocky song 'Say it' ? This is certainly a group worth keeping an eye on. They don't quite have the stage presence mastered yet, but time will bring that, and I'm already looking forward to what they'll sound like in a few years, but don't wait until t...
