 Kasim at Club Cafe, Pittsburgh
07.00 - Kasim Sulton now has a mini write-up on ClubCafeLive.com (where he plays a solo gig on 24th January 2007). It's slightly out of date (and leads off with that dreadful "sideman" tag) but it has one of those great photos of him by Jean Lannen.
The venue website lists the doors as opening at 6.00pm and the show itself as 7.00pm, although it doesn't list whether there is an opening act or not.
According to the venue website there is another show starting at 10.30pm with doors opening at 10.00pm.

Kasim Sulton Winter 2006 / 2007 Solo Tour
09.15 - As it's *only* 13 days until the tour starts, it appears that the expected additional date on The Kasim Sulton Winter 2007 Solo Tour will not be going ahead so this is the final Tour Map:
Currently the tour mileage (just venue to venue and not taking into account the driving to and from hotels etc.) is 2,287 miles which would take 34 hours in total (assuming there's no snow or ice!). A roundtrip flight ticket for the 6 flights would cost $1,551. Apart from the Ann Arbor, MI "hiccup"(!), the tour is basically going in a west direction.
In the next two weeks on KasimInfo.com there'll be a mini write-up of each of the venues to help people make up their minds which shows they decide to attend. Tickets are still avavilable for all these gigs.

Holiday message and video of Kasim
18.30 - On KSultonBass.com there's a nice message from Kasim Sulton about his KSulton Bass plus a one minute 22 second video of Kasim talking to camera which was recorded on 16th December!
Kasim says that "From the 1st prototype to the final version, there were no less than two dozen changes in materials, electronics, design and hardware that were made in order to get the best possible combination in every aspect of the Bass" !!!

New Meat Loaf concert
16.00 - Tickets are on sale for a new Meat Loaf concert on Sunday 25th February at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, CA. Click here for tickets (although the concert is not yet listed on the main venue website).
There's some confusion over the location of the Meat Loaf concert that Kasim Sulton will be playing on Monday 25th June. Originally it was announced by Meat Loaf's official website MeatLoaf.net that the concert would take place at St. Jakobshalle in Basel, Switzerland but now that website lists that concert as taking place on Wednesday 27th June and on Monday 25th they'll be playing in Amsterdam, Holland (although elsewhere it still says on the site that they'll be in Switzerland that night!).
These gigs are currently the final ones on the European leg of The Meat Loaf Seize The Night Tour. The tour currently starts on 23rd February in Pala, CA.

Kasim's gig in Chicago
01.15 - Apparently the opening act for Kasim Sulton's solo gig at The Abbey Pub in Chicago, IL on Saturday 27th January is a local band called Easy Tiger. Apparently they are a singer / songwriter duo and consist of Russell Baylin and Dan Wean. Click here to view their MySpace page and listen to some of their music.
According to the venue website, doors for this show open at 6.30pm with Easy Tiger on at 7.00pm. There is a second show afterwards but doors for that do not open until 10.30pm so there's plenty of time for a full Kasim Sulton set!
|
Apparently the caption of this photo is "If you don’t buy a Kasim hat, your dog will die”!
(Please note KasimInfo.com accepts no liability regarding the health of your pets!)
And remember a Kasim hat is for life, not just for Christmas!

Meat Loaf News
12.30 - New concert
This is posted slightly late but an additional concert has been added to The Meat Loaf Seize The Night Tour. It is on Monday 25th June and is at St. Jakobshalle in Basel, Switzerland.
Blind As A Bat single
The release of the single Blind As A Bat single (a track from Bat Out Of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose) in Europe has been delayed from 18th December to the end of February. The reason given is to provide time to make a video (although the end of February will be when Meat Loaf is touring in US so will be unable to do much promotion in Europe). No release dates for any single off the album have been announced for US.

Kasim on The Dick Clark Rockin' Eve
09.15 - In the early hours of 2007, Kasim Sulton was shown (as part of Meat Loaf's band) on The Dick Clark Rockin' Eve. They showed all 3 songs that they recorded on 9th December in Los Angeles - Blind As A Bat, Anything For Love and Paradise By The Dashboard Light.
If you missed the performance, a link will be added later to watch the show online.

KasimInfo.com
09.00 - It was six years ago today that KasimInfo.com opened!!!
Back in 1997 / 1998 Brit's excellent Simply Kasim website kept everyone very up to date on all the latest Kasim Sulton news. When that website stopped being updated Kasim Sulton - A Fan's View ran from 1998 until 12/31/2000 and at 9.00am on 1st January 2001 KasimInfo.com opened!
(Actually it was slightly after 9.00am as I couldn't change the holding page - not the most auspicious start!) One little known fact about the website is that this Blog page (for which KasimInfo.com is now widely known) wasn't initially part of the website plan but only came into existance a few days later. This Blog page is used to post news about Kasim and updates to KasimInfo.com plus links to other websites and news reports that mention Kasim. Back in 1998 if you did a search on "Kasim Sulton" on the Internet, there would be maybe 20 items which would come up but a search on Google today produced "about 148,000" entries! (KasimInfo.com is the second rated website!)
The aim of KasimInfo.com has always been to provide as much info about Kasim Sulton as possible for his fans, plus to promote him as far as any fan website can.
Roll on the next 6 years!

New Kasim Sulton Album
10.00 - Kasim Sulton announced on stage last night that he'll be releasing a new album "in a couple of weeks"! He explained that it with contain a collection of tracks from all four of his previous "solo" releases (Kasim, Lights On, The Basement Tapes and Quid Pro Quo) plus new songs and some special items like unreleased demos and live recordings. It will be a two CD release with about 25 tracks on it.
Here is part of a press release about the album that was written earlier this month:
"Singer/songwriter Kasim Sulton will mark the New Year with the launch of a winter tour and the release of a Best Of CD titled All Sides, due out in January.
While Kasim has spent much of his time contributing to others work, he has also been cultivating a successful solo career, releasing three solo albums and delivering memorable solo performances over the years. Connecticut’s Today newspaper writes "Kasim Sulton is an accomplished songwriter, producer, bassist, guitar player, keyboardist, and has the voice of a happy angel".
"All Sides" will feature several new songs, live tracks and some of the best of his first three solo albums. His previous solo album "Quid Pro Quo" won the Kweevak Viewers Choice Award in 2003. Kasim also plans to release an album of all new music in late 2007."
The album will be available to buy both online and at Kasim's upcoming solo gigs.
