Nazz's last album was completed after Todd Rundgren had left the band.
Nazz: Todd Rundgren (vocals, guitar); Robert "Stewkey" Antoni (vocals, keyboards); Carson Van Osten (bass); Thom Mooney (drums).
The third and final album by Philadelphia proto-power-poppers The Nazz is a patchwork affair completed by the group's co-leader, keyboardist Robert "Stewkey" Antoni, after his erstwhile creative partner Todd Rundgren departed the group for good in the midst of sessions. Those with bad memories of the post-Roky Erickson Thirteenth Floor Elevators or Wall of Voodoo apres Stan Ridgway can rest assured that not only is NAZZ III not horrific, it may be the band's most consistent, if not best, album. Rundgren's songs are in almost exactly the style he took to his solo career. Fans of RUNT or SOMETHING/ANYTHING? will find songs like "Some People" and "It's Not That Easy" very familiar. Stewkey's electric piano and the unobtrusive but supportive rhythm section of bassist Carson Van Osten and drummer Thom Mooney sound so much like the arrangements on Rundgren's next few albums that one wonders why he had to break up the band at all.
