AN EVENING WITH TODD RUNDGREN
Thursday, 25th July 2013
The Bridge Hotel, 135 Victoria Rd, Rozelle

A musical evening spanning four decades of hits with legendary musician, songwriter, producer and musical visionary Todd Rundgren.

A Wizard, A True Star. The title of Todd Rundgren's 1973 solo album aptly sums up the contributions of this multi-faceted artist to state-of-the-art music. As a songwriter, video pioneer, producer, recording artist, computer software developer, conceptualist, and, most recently, interactive artist, Rundgren has made a lasting impact on both the form and content of popular music. This July Todd and his amazing band which includes keyboard master John Ferenzik (Jefferson Starship, Todd Rundgren), guitarist and former Guitar Player Magazine editor Jesse Gress, drummer Prarie Prince (The New Cars, The Tubes, Jefferson Starship) and on bass Kasim Sultan (Blue Oyster Cult, The New Cars, Utopia), will bring to life 40 years of amazing music to Australian audiences.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Rundgren began playing guitar as a teenager, going on to found and front The Nazz, the quintessential `60's cult group. In 1969, he left the band to pursue a solo career, recording his debut offering, the legendary Runt. But it was 1972's seminal Something/Anything?, on which he played all the instruments, sang all the vocal parts, and acted as his own producer, that catapulted Todd into the superstar limelight, prompting the press to unanimously dub him 'Rock's New Wunderkind'. It was followed by such landmark LPs as The Hermit of Mink Hollow and the above mentioned A Wizard, A True Star, as well as such hit singles as I Saw The Light, Hello It's Me, Can We Still Be Friends, and Bang The Drum.

In 1974, Todd formed Utopia, an entirely new approach to the concept of interactive musicianship, and embarked on an extensive round of touring and recording. Standout Utopia offerings included Oops! Wrong Planet, Adventures in Utopia, and Oblivion. Along the way, Utopia combined technical virtuosity and creative passion to create music that, for millions, defined the term "progressive rock."

Rundgren's myriad production projects include albums by Patti Smith, Cheap Trick, Psychedelic Furs, Meatloaf, XTC, Grand Funk Railroad, and Hall And Oates. Rounding out his reputation as rock's Renaissance Man, Rundgren composed all the music and lyrics for Joe Papp's 1989 Off-Broadway production of Joe Orton's Up Against It (the screenplay commisioned by The Beatles for what was meant to have been their third motion picture).

Early last year Rundgren performed his iconic 1973 album A Wizard A True Star in concert in its entireity for the first time ever, and recently did the same with a double bill: Todd & Healing. His latest two studio albums Todd Rundgren's Johnson, a collection of classic Robert Johnson songs, and reProduction, covers of songs Todd has produced for other artists. This summer he toured with Ringo Starr (for the third time).

Todd Rundgren will release his new studio album State on the Esoteric Antenna label via Cherry Red in May, 2013. State is Rundgren's 24th solo studio album (and that's not including the two albums he recorded with his first band The Nazz, and the nine albums he recorded with his band Utopia). Todd's latest musical vision is a fusion of rock, soul, r'n'b and electronica that is at once danceable, groundbreaking, spiritual, challenging and infectious.

With a solo career spanning nearly 30 years, the six-time Grammy nominee and recipient of Guitar Player magazine's Certified Legend Award for 2012 is not afraid to bring numerous styles and ideas - however diverse - into the same place just to see what happens, moving between straight-ahead jazz and rock fusion with consummate skill.

Alomo!: Feat Juju Rock
Saturday, 15th June 2013
Hackney Attic, Hackney Picturehouse 270 Mare Street, Hackney, E8 1HE
Juju Rock is a fire-starting guitar led quartet cooking up a potent concoction of vibrant African cross-rhythms, heavily influenced by gritty funk rock elements

Some of the members of this outfit have helped shape the sounds of some of London's premier Afro centric bands; including guitar virtuoso Christian Arcucci in Anthony Joseph's infamous Spasm Band, and one of the founding members of the riotous Yaaba Funk, drummer Paul Zimmerman

As a quartet they are as loud and intricate as a band twice its size... and the band's true power only fully comes across on stage, when African village scenarios and a mastery of rhythm and melody collide with heavy psychedelic guitar riffs and ferocious percussion

Can you really bring yourself to miss THAT? Huge time

Picnic presents 6th Borough Project
Friday 7th June 2013
Winter is well and truly on the way, so to counter the cold we've rounded up a couple of dudes to bathe us in gloriously warm house music: the totally superb 6th Borough Project! We'll be taking over two floors of the Burdekin for the occasion, huddling in with a whole heap of our favourite Sydney DJs.

The 6th Borough Project is Craig Smith and Graeme Clarke. Their music is deep, soulful and funky but always energetic. With their roots in jazz, boogie and funk, and their tips in disco, deep house and warm tech, resisting the impulse to dance is impossible.

Craig has been on the DJ circuit for more than 20 years, including 10 years of hosting 'Audio Deluxe' at The Honeycomb in Edinburgh which saw big wigs like Masters At Work, Ashley Beedle and DJ Jazzy Jeff spinning tunes and partying.

As The Revenge, Graeme has been one of the fastest rising names in deep house and disco re-edits over the past few years and continues to accelerate. Productions for his own labels Instruments Of Rapture, Five20East and his DJ edits for L.E.S.S. Productions have had across-the-board support from scene heavyweights including Danny Krivit, Prins Thomas and Todd Terje.

As the 6th Borough Project the pair have released some stunning records on Delusions of Grandeur, Instruments Of Rapture and Jiscomusic to widespread acclaim. They released their debut album, One Night In The Borough, in May 2011 which mesmerised audiences with warm slow-mo deep house and smokey soulful disco cuts. In 2012 they also dropped a 10" and a superb mix CD on the consistently sensational Kolour LTD imprint, as well as another sterling EP on DoG, while their second full length release is just around the corner. Their technical brilliance coupled with a deeply instinctive understanding of what grooves and feels good make them one of the most exciting acts in dance music right now.

In support across the two rooms will be *deep breath* Marc Jarvin & Jungle Snake, Magda Bytnerowicz, Ken Cloud, Ben Fester and Preacha as well as your adoring hosts, Kali and Andy Webb. Huge! We kick off at 10pm and ride on through until summer comes back. This will be a biggy!
