18.15 - As posted on a Meat Loaf mailing list, Kasim Sulton receives a brief mention in an interview with Meat Loaf that appeared in The Toronto Sun today. Click here to view the interview (it also gives an indication of the format of the tour). As it may disappear at some stage, it says:
"Meat Loaf said he appears after two short sets by bassist Kasim Sulton (on acoustic guitar) and backup singer Patti Russo. "And then we all come out," he said. "And I do like an hour and fifteen minutes, and then we all sit around the piano like in your kitchen." "
14.30 - There was a good post today about Kasim Sulton on a Meat Loaf mailing list by David M. Driskell:
There was discussion about Kasim opening for Meat Loaf on the summer tour on the Jim Steinman Mail List. I thought I would share my response with you all!!! The question was asked how Meat Loaf fans who were used to EVERYTHING LOUDER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE would react to Kas' acoustic set. Here is how I replied: I was wondering about this as well. It could be interesting. Actually, this is quite unique. You have a member of the Steinmanroyality actually being the opening act for yet another member of Steinmanroyality! I will be quite interested to see how people react to what an amazing entertainer and the superb voice of Kasim Sulton. Having chatted quite a bit with Sue from KasimInfo, she inspired me to seek out some Kasim recordings, and so far I have never been disappointed. Regretfully, he was about 45 minutes of my house a few months ago, but the show was long sold out before they even announced Kasim was to appear. :-(
I just think it is way cool that Kasim and Patti Russo are finnally getting their due from the Meat Loaf camp! Kasim has worked his ass off (in many aspects) to assist Meat Loaf's music over the years. I mean, he saved an amazing Steinmansong (Is Nothing Sacred) with his reworking of the tune and amazing production of the single version. It seems only fair that he would get to play a few of his songs. Personally, I am in rapt anticipation of QUID PRO QUO's (Kas solo album) release later this summer.

12.30 - As three people have written to me about it, there appears to be some confusion about the two new lines on KasimSulton.com. It does that mean that Kasim Sulton will be one of the opening act at each Meat Loaf show on the Summer tour but that he will at the shows that are purely Meat Loaf concerts, not the festivals (all of this is also subject to the individual promoters' arrangements too).

18.15 - KasimInfo.com is (almost!) fully open again! There have been a lot of changes made but mainly to directory structures ready for future revamps so that the site does not have to be closed again. Most people will not notice many differences other than if they had certain pages bookmarked. The major change to the site is on the front page as it has been streamlined and an EPK (Electronic Press Kit) has been added. As several people are attempting to get more publicity for Kasim this time around and often give KasimInfo.com as a contact website, it was suggested that a compact EPK would be useful rather than this rambling 2,000+ page site! The principle behind the EPK is not to have flashy graphics but purely to provide concise, current, easy to find info for media, music professionals and people who just want a broad outline of who Kasim Sulton is. Each page is also linked to a section in this main site if they decide to delve deeper. The Kasim's Diary and the old Gigs sections of the site have been removed (the latter will reappear soon). Many thanks to Kristy Mullen and Laura England for all their help over the past few days.
