Kasim Sulton was interviewed for about an hour and a half minutes on Rundgren Radio starting at about 8.45pm tonight. A few fans rang in with questions and to say hi to Kasim.
Click here to hear all of Kasim's interview but the main points were:
Kasim will be home for the rest of this month.
Kasim has "Done most of what I'm gonna do" on the new Meat Loaf album.
They will be rehearsing for the AWATS gigs in Cleveland from 30th August until 6th September.
Kasim described performing a Todd whole album live on stage as "One of the highlights of my career".
Kasim said that he can't book any solo gigs in Europe for early next year yet in case more AWATS gigs are added.
Kasim hasn't spoken to Todd Rundgren in person since the last Todd gig at the beginning of July so he does not know much more than the fans about the presentation of the AWATS gigs.
Kasim also does not know the set list for the first (nonAWATS) part of the AWATS gigs.
Kasim will be playing another singer / songwriting circle at The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, TN on Saturday 29th August with Tommy Hambridge. This means that he'll be flying from New York to Nashville to Cleveland that weekend.
Kasim refused to talk about his band for his 30th October solo gig in Reisterstown, MD as not everything is arranged yet. However Kasim did say that there was a chance that this gig may not happen as there are possibleTodd gigs (not AWATS) around that time.
Kasim indicated that he has not had much time to work on his new solo album as he has been working on the new Meat Loaf album and is starting to familiarize himself with the AWATS songs.
The Adventures In Utopia / Oops Wrong Planet Tour was his favorite Utopia tour.
Kasim once met Prince in a 7-11 store in LA during the time that Kasim was recording his first solo album. Prince wasn't very friendly to Kasim so he played a trick on him!
There was one very interesting question about guitars which is well worth listening to (near the end of the interview).
A Little Bit More was played just before the interview started and Summer's Gone and Across The Universe was played afterwards.
(Kasim's gig at The Bluebird Cage is not yet listed on the venue website.)
