Kasim Sulton was interviewed by Doug tonight for about ninety minutes on RundgrenRadio.
Fans called in from all over US and Canada and Kasim knew most of them by name!
Among things discussed were:
"There is "some talk" about Kasim playing with Meat Loaf in Australia in mid February so if that is the case, Kasim aims to play some solo gigs in late January / early February."
"Another reason that Kasim has delayed his solo gigs is so that he can get a band together for his own gigs."
"Out of all the artists that Kasim has played with, he feels closest playing with Todd because of their history of working together."
"Kasim is currently mainly writing new songs on guitar but is starting to write more on keyboards nowadays."
"Kasim thinks that Todd won't be touring until at least Summer 2008 (for the "arena rock" album) and Kasim hopes to tour with him too."
"When comparing Todd Rundgren and Meat Loaf / Jim Steinman songs, Kasim said that he believed that Jim Steinman is a big Todd fan. He also said that Jim writes from the gut and Todd writes from the head."
"Kasim spoke at great length about how he joined Utopia which was very interesting."
"3 of the special KSulton Basses are already sold so there are only 3 left now!"
"Luther Vandross was in Utopia at one time!"
"Kasim said that he's recently been writing some new songs and plans to release them one song at a time on the Internet rather than wait until he has a whole album worth of songs."
"Kasim has been a Yankees fans since he was young but he's not a big football fan."
"Kasim said that he enjoyed doing the radio show and hopes to do it again sometime."
The recording of the total interview is available to listen at RundgrenRadio.com.
Many thanks to Doug for the interview.
