Two more Todd Rundgren gigs for October
18.15 - Two more gigs for Todd Rundgren in October have found their way onto the Internet!
The first is on Sunday 18th October and is at the YMCA Bolton Center For The Performing Arts on Long Island, NY. This gig is not listed yet on the venue website so is not yet on sale but is an intimate 240 seater venue. (This gig is the day after Kasim Sulton's solo gig in Cleveland, Ohio.) Many thanks to Jeffrey Miller for this info.
The other gig has been discussed on the forum attached to TRConnection.com as it's been announced by the Hall and Oates camp that apparently Todd Rundgren will be one of the opening acts at their gig at The Spectrum in Philadelphia, PA on Friday 23rd October. The post includes "The show will start with The Hooters, move on to Todd Rundgren and then finish with Hall and Oates - with all three groups expected to perform encores together! Definitely a must-see concert if you can possibly make it! Pearl Jam wraps up the final show on October 31 before the historic Spectrum is demolished".
Venue links are posted on the Todd Rundgren 2009 Tour section of KasimInfo.com.

Kasim Internet radio interview
23.00 - 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 possible Todd 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.)

AWATS Tour news
04.30 - In an interview on PRLog.org (a PR website), Todd Rundgren said "It’s going to take us a week to rehearse it then we only play seven dates (USA). We hope it is successful enough so that we might get some additional dates added in Europe. The significant musical constraint is that Roger Powell still has a regular job which he has to return to. So he can’t go out for months and months at a time. He can go out for a couple of weeks and then has to go back to the job. "
Todd also added about the gigs "It’ll be recorded, it’ll be video taped and other possible things were thinking of is a pay-per-view Internet stream live during the show for people in other parts of the world who can’t make the trip."
The auction to watch a AWATS soundcheck (previously mentioned here) has now been canceled.
The full list of tour dates is available at The Todd Rundgren 2009 Tour section of KasimInfo.com.

Chance to watch a sound check
13.45 - There is currently a chance to watch the sound check of the Todd Rundgren gig on Sunday 6th September in Akron, Ohio. Click here for the details but it's an auction for 20 spots. The auction starts at $200 for each spot.
As well as watching the sound check, there will be a Meet and Greet with Todd Rundgren for 20 minutes. It doesn't specify whether Kasim Sulton will be at the Meet and Greet but he will be present at the sound check. (It also doesn't specify whether or not the minimum $200 per spot will be going to charity so that looks unlikely.) The auction does not include a ticket to the concert and the time of the sound check is not listed.
The auction ends on Friday 7th August.

New AWATS gig
03.00 - Another A Wizard A True Star (AWATS) gig has been added to the schedule. It's on Wednesday 9th September at the Stamford Center for the Arts in Stamford, CT. Tickets are not on sale yet for this gig.
As this is the week of the two gigs in Akron, OH, Kasim Sulton and Roger Powell will be playing this gig.
The AWATS gigs announced so far are:
Sunday 6th September - Akron Civic Theatre, Akron, OH
Monday 7th September - Akron Civic Theatre, Akron, OH
Wednesday 9th September - Stamford Center for the Arts, Stamford, CT
6th February 2010 - Hammersmith Apollo, London, England (Kasim Sulton is not yet confirmed for this gig)
Monday 8th February 2010 - Paradiso, Amsterdam, Holland (Kasim Sulton is not yet confirmed for this gig)
It is expected that there will be a week of gigs in September to fit in with Roger Powell's vacation.
Apparently the latest news from the Meat Loaf camp is that the release of his next album has been delayed until March / April next year which makes it more likely that Kasim Sulton will be able to play the AWATS gigs in Europe in February.
Many thanks to TRConnection for the info about the Stamford gig.

Kasim Sulton and the UK Album Charts
12.30 - Unfortunately Meat Loaf's latest compilation album Hits Out Of Hell has dropped from out of the Official UK Album Top 40 Charts. Last week it was #27 and in the previous week it was #10.
The reason it has dropped out of the charts is partly due to there now being eight Michael Jackson albums in the chart this week! There was an extensive television advertising campaign for Meat Loaf's album in the week before Father's Day too.
Kasim Sulton plays bass and sings background vocals on several tracks on the album.
