This interview can be heard on the internet from this link.

Photos of this gig will be added soon.

The videos are:
The One Sure Thing

Before She Was Gone

I Don't Mind At All

The Traveler

Yellow Cab

As well as Kasim's voice sounding very good, it was an inspired set list and the audience were one of the best for joining in with the singing, not only on Libertine but also unprompted on Set Me Free! The audience also sang in tune which was a bonus!

This was also one of Kasim's longer sets as it was an hour and 43 minutes.

There was also a new addition to Kasim's set list last night - a beautiful version of Yesterday by The Beatles.

Kasim's set list was:
Sacrifice
Yellow Cab
Afraid Himself To Be
I Just Wanna Touch You
The Traveler
Summer's Gone
Are You Happy Now
There Goes My Inspiration
Libertine
Cliche
I Don't Mind At All
The God Of Low
Yesterday
Sometimes Love Is A Dangerous Thing
Before She Was Gone
The One Sure Thing
Watching The World Go By
Don't Hold Me Back
Set Me Free
One World

Click here for a very short clip of Kasim singing Yesterday last night. (Unfortunately we were sitting next to two people who chatted loudly throughout his gig and then had the nerve afterwards to say to Kasim that they didn't know he had been in Utopia despite Kasim singing Utopia songs during his set!)

The gig is at John & Peter's and the address is 96 South Main Street, New Hope PA 18938.

Click here for full details but the gig starts at 9.30pm and tickets (from this link or on the door) are only $12.

Kasim is currently busy writing songs for his album so this may be the only chance to see one of his solo gigs for a few months.

Apparently the DJ did not make it into the studio!

The station is located in Ewing, NJ but streams on the internet so can be heard worldwide from this link.

According to the schedule on the website Kasim appears to be on the Randy "Now!" Ellis show which is classed as "Garage Rock!"

The best quality ones are The Ikon, Utopia Theme and Sons Of 1984.

There is also a video of Kasim singing lead on Set Me Free here but unfortunately it is taken from quite a distance and he was not lit on stage!

The Sunday gig becomes available online tonight and for 30 days. Click here for details about how to watch it. The podcast costs $19.95 with proceeds going to help Moogy.

Goodbye January...

What a month! I can't remember when a January was this busy.

Usually, the Music Biz shuts down around December 15th and doesn't get rolling again until late January.

I've been busier this month than any January in recent memory.

Certainly busier than if I had continued working with a food group.

Between my solo webcast, the My Record Fantasy Camp, working on demos for my CD and the Utopia shows this past weekend (a very special event), I've barely had time to catch my breath.

One of the highlights of the My Record Fantasy Camp (aside from all the great attendees) was getting to play one of my favorite songs - I Don't Mind At All - on stage with Brent Bourgeois and Larry Tagg.

February is shaping up to be just as jam packed.

I just got back from a recording session for a secret project with Jim Stienman and this weekend I have a solo show in New Hope PA.

February 16th sees me in Connecticut for a corporate party with my good friend Earl Slick and then on the 19th I'll join Glen Burtnik in New Jersey for a John Lennon show. I get to sing two John song's with Glen, 'All You Need Is Love' and 'This Boy'.

As well as join the choir for a massive rendition of 'Because'.

This month ends with me doing 3 shows with Yellow Matter Custard. This is a band formed a few years back with Mike Portnoy, Paul Gilbert and Neil Morse... I'm filling in for Matt Bissonette (I'm a big fan of his). I'll be singing a bunch of Beatle tunes and I couldn't be happier about it.

In between all this, I'll be working working working on my CD.

Just a reminder that there are still a few spots left for the cover so, get your pictures in soon!

I'll be doing an update here on KI beginning of each month to keep everyone apprised of what I've done, what I'm doing and whats coming up so .... check back for the March 1st note!

Many thanks to Roger Linder for posting the set list.

So far one video has been posted to YouTube.com here.

(The name is a clever play as most people assume that it means Mark II (i.e. version 2) but as it is written MK II it is also Moogy's initials.)

Click here to read the press reless about Todd Rundgren at the My Record Fantasy Camp but the idea is that Todd is recording a new 15 track album and fans have a chance to play on various tracks in the studio with him and the other members of the band.

Today Todd is playing an accoustic set at 1pm at the Bella Bru Cafe in Carmichael, CA (it's not clear whether or not Kasim will be playing too) and tonight they all perform at Tex Wasabi in Sacramento, CA.
