Kasim's new look?!

Saturday 15th January 2005
18.30 - There was an article about Kasim's work this past week with Rick Reynolds in North West Florida's Daily News newspaper. Two large scans of the article have been added to the Press section of the site. Many thanks to Carrie Knife for these scans.
06.30 - Apparently Kasim Sulton has a new career!
06.15 - There's a photo of Utopia and Kasim receives a mention on the front page of TotalMusicmagazine.com. As it will disappear at some point, it says:
"Coinciding with the DVD release of Utopia Live In Boston we get the lowdown on what really happened in camp Utopia, all those years ago, straight from the horses mouth (so to speak) by tracking down elfin bass player Kasim Sulton and mercilessly grilling him via e-mail"
So that means that within the space of two weeks Kasim has been described as both "elfin" and "mosquito shim monkey"!
06.00 - Unfortunately the server problems on the KasimInfo.co.uk section of the site are worse than they first thought so that hosting company are moving the site to a new server. It means that that part of the site is still down this weekend but hopefully it will all be okay for when the site fully opens to coincide with the release of the Utopia Live in Boston 1982 DVD in the U.K. on 24th January.

10.30 - Both KasimSulton.com and KasimInfo.com are listed on this website about John Oates from Japan. Using Babel Fish Translation to translate the description of the sites says about KasimSulton.com:
"The original member of band Utopia which ??? has led the web sight of - mosquito shim monkey ton. The song lighter/writer, Singer, as a prayer the talent rich artist. H & if you mention ????? of O/COS tour, the kana which is understood? (English)"
KasimInfo.com is described as:
"The fan sight of the mosquito shim monkey ton (English) about may call official contents have been complete almost very. In the mosquito shim fan it is HP which cannot be removed."

12.00 - Kasim Sulton has been mentioned in a few comments about the Utopia - Live In Boston 1982 DVD on the BeyondAwizard mailing list in the past few days. Some of the comments were:
"More than an hour of the boys yackin' 'bout everything under the sun. What fun. And pretty insightful. And intimate. Kasim is so genuine when he discusses his return to the band after his first foray into solo-artist hell."
"Who'd have thought that Todd and Kasim would be doin' another amazing tour together, of Liars, 22 years later!"
"Those interviews touched my heart. To me they all spoke truth especially Kasim. That is after all what rock and roll all about isn't it?"
"All I remember about the Suits Tour were the shrooms, a VERY fat chick walking up front and physically moving the table next to us with her ass just as Kasim sang (through an almost uncontrollable laugh) "when she walked in the room...""
"The interviews look pretty current. Wasn't that interesting hearing Kasim's story on when he first met Todd? It was pretty funny really."
