05.30 - Click here to read a news item on Star Pages about Kasim Sulton's forthcoming gig in Pittsburgh!
05.15 - As Kasim Sulton selling his bass guitar on E-Bay was a personal matter, a decision was made a few days ago that it would not be mentioned on KasimInfo.com. However, as Kasim's ex-manager, Kirsten Ashley, has mentioned it on at least four places on the Internet, I feel that it is daft to no longer mention it here. Kasim Sulton currently has up on E-Bay his bass guitar that he used when he recorded his album Lights On. Click here to see photos and the full description. Currently there have been 14 bids and the price is $760. The best part about Kirsten Ashley publicly posting about a private matter is that at least one Todd Rundgren fan has bid for the guitar!
05.00 - Overnight there were another 19 posts on a Todd Rundgren mailing list that had Kasim in the title. Other than me posting about Kasim's new gig in Pittsburgh the other posts were mainly anti-Kirsten posts. 05/17/01

The original post was by Kasim's ex-manager Kirsten Ashley about Kasim Sulton selling one of his bass guitars on E-Bay. Due to a snide comment that she made at the end of that post, the other 36 posts were, to take a simplistic view, against her but pro Kasim - there was even some discussion about getting her removed from the list! As a warning to other fans, it was mentioned during her posts that she keeps a note of the IPs of people who visit her website, KasimOnLine.
21.00 - Another new gig has been announced for Kasim Sulton !!! It's on 19th June at Club Cafe, Pittsburgh, PA. Full details are on the Kasim Sulton 2001 Solo Acoustic Tour section of the site.

Frank Ciapanna has also lightened the videos of The Saint gig so I am gradually adding them to the appropiate page too (the files are large so take a while to upload, but are well worth the wait!).

12.00 - Over the past few days there has been some discussion on various Meat Loaf mailing lists that Meat will be playing at The Night Of The Proms in Belgium, Germany, Holland and possibly Switzerland from October until December 2001. Although tickets are on sale and he is listed as headlining the event, according to Left Bank (Meat Loaf's management company), it is "only 80% confirmed" at the moment. The latest news is that IF (and I stress if) it does go ahead, then certain members of Meat Loaf's band will be joining him on stage, including Kasim Sulton!

23.55 - Kasim's ex-manager, Kirsten Ashley, sent three lengthy posts to the Kasim Sulton Yahoo Message Board attempting to explain her reasons for her actions over the past few months. A decision was made to remove these posts. Subsequently, Kirsten Ashley sent these posts (which included my name) to both a Todd Rundgren mailing list and the Message Board at KasimSulton.com. As, so far there have been 29 replies, all negative towards Kirsten Ashley's comments, I believe that the decision to remove these posts was a good one considering she herself stated that she "supposed that in a few short hours Sue will want to consider changing the name of this club to the “Bash Kirsten Board.”
14.00 - There were a couple of posts on the Kasim Sulton Yahoo Message Board about the removal from this site of the The Asbury Park Press article about Kasim Sulton.

05/10/01
23.55 - There were a couple of posts on the Kasim Sulton Yahoo Message Board about the fact that I am going to have to remove from this website the article about Kasim Sulton that appeared in The Asbury Park Press. Although I received permission from the writer of the article, apparently the newspaper has a policy that they do not allow articles to be reproduced on websites. Sadly, Kasim's EX-manager reported me to the APP and they have issued a cease and desist notice. The article will be removed tomorrow (Friday) evening so I would strongly recommend that everybody reads it before that. Personally, I feel it's such a shame that due to one individual this great article about Kasim Sulton will be relegated to being a wrapper for fish and chips, whereas I was preserving it for ever. Thankfully, I feel sure that this is just the first of dozens of great articles about Kasim!!

05/09/01

05/07/01
08.00 - I've added one photo and a video clip from Kasim Sulton's gig at The Saint to the Kasim Sulton 2001 Solo Acoustic Tour page of the site. It was very dark in the venue so the pictures are not very clear but Kasim's voice can be heard VERY clearly! I'll add the rest of the photos and videos, along with some reviews and the set list later.

Somebody was discussing the bass player Fernando Perdomo who is a big fan of Todd Rundgren and Utopia: "Fernando sites Kasim as one of his biggest bass influences along with some guy named McCartney. He can talk Todd all day long and there's very little he doesn't know about the history of rock and roll. I was very impressed with his vast musical knowledge, more so when he told me he was only 21! Maybe there is hope for the younger generation."
