Online Chat

Kasim Sulton held an online chat with his fans for about an hour. Probably due to the timing there weren't quite as many people there as at the last chat but over the hour about 50-60 people attended.

The only real Kasim Sulton news was that Kasim is still hoping to book some solo gigs but that he is no longer writing any music at the moment. However he does expect to have a lot of time off over the Summer and intends to write then. Kasim also said that he will be singing one song solo on the upcoming Todd Rundgren Tour.
