".....thoroughly enjoying a set by Kasim that was as crisp as they come"
"And while at the time we may have seen Kaz as too poppy an influence on Todd and
the 20-minute excursions we missed, I realize in retrospect (and, to be
fair, at the time) just how valuable his powerful vocal counterpoint to
Todd, and his remarkably tuneful (McCartney-esque) bass playing were to that
band's sound"
"As for Kas, I simply love his voice. And there's nothing sweeter in the world than him and Todd harmonizing"
"I'll be more than happy to buy his CD when it's released -- but in the
meantime....I'm craving some Kas!!!!"
"After hearing the Monday show, I decided I want Todd
and Kaz to go out as an acoustic duo a la The Everly Brothers"

02.30 - There's a great online article about Kasim Sulton in the Noteworthy section of the Metroland about his gig in Albany tonight! Many thanks to Cindi Decotis for sending this to me. As it may disappear soon, I'll reproduce it here:
"Without singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kasim Sulton, it’s just possible that the ’70s would have been bassless. He worked the four-string behind everyone from Meat Loaf to Shawn Cassidy, Alice Cooper to Rick Derringer—though his most regular gig was in Utopia, the arty prog-pop brainchild of putative genius Todd Rundgren. He was a session mainstay of the ’80s as well, logging in time with Cheap Trick, Joan Jett and both Patti Smith and Patty Smyth. With all of that hired-gun activity, it’s easy to understand why Sulton’s solo releases have been few and far between, but he’s out on the road now promoting his upcoming third album, Quid Pro Quo, with a solo acoustic tour. This is only the second such tour Sulton has performed, and he promises something special: “It’s really an entertaining evening; just me, a guitar, the audience and some inside stories from my past and present.” (Feb. 23, 9 PM, $10, 432-6572)"
