Todd Rungren's mid-to-late 70s
art-rock band. Members include such studio greats as drummer
John "Willie" Wilcox, and keyboardist
Roger Powell, as well as unknowns like
Kasim Sulton.
IMNSHO, their best album was titled "
RA", and had a weird middle/far-eastern theme. Lots of
Egyptian references, and some other not-so-artsy-conceptual stuff, like a song titled
Hiroshima.
Good music, if not very
strange.
