The SubdudesOn the Road Again
The Subdudes are a roots-rock band from Colorado and Louisiana who hit it big in the early 1990s with a series of albums and sold-out tours. But after pressure to produce mainstream radio hits became too suffocating, the group split up in 1996. Eight years later, they’re back on track with a new CD and they join us with a live performance of their rollicking brand of gospel, folk, country and blues. You may know Todd Rundgren for his hit singles "Hello, It’s Me" or "Bang on the Drum All Day", but his real impact on the music world is in technology. Rundgren was a pioneer of music videos, created the precursor to the DVD and set the standard for interactive CDs and concert broadcasts. Todd joins us today to let us know what he’s been cooking up lately.
