Tuesday 3rd February 2004
20.30 - There are two threads on the messageboard attached to WillieWilcox.com about Kasim Sulton's solo gig this weekend (both hoping that Willie will be there too) here and here. There is also another thread on the same subject on the messageboard attached to KasimInfo.com.
20.00 - As mentioned in Kasim's online chat on 25th January, here are links to Kasim's favorite "drink of choice" (Constant Comment) and chocolate (dark chocolate Toblerone).
19.00 - Older items from the bottom of this page have been moved to a new page - the link is at the bottom of the page.
12.30 - Apparently the release of Todd Rundgren's new album Liars has been delayed until 17th March.
11.45 - TR Bazaar.com are now selling Quid Pro Quo at $16 (plus shipping). Many thanks to Jeff Gauss for this info.
10.30 - The Gigs section of the site has been updated with new ticketing details for some gigs plus new dates have been added on the Todd Rundgren's Liars Tour for Royal Oak, MI on 13th April and Boston, MA on 4th May. The second date in Cleveland for Saturday 17th April appears to have disappeared off the radar and sadly Rosebud in Pittsburgh, PA (where Kasim played a solo gig in October 2002) has closed its doors so the gig has been moved to the Rex Theatre instead.
08.00 - There is a thread about Kasim's first solo album on the messageboard attached to BuckDharma.com. Buck himself posted "It was lots of fun doing, and cool to play with Kaz.". Many thanks to Jeff Gauss for this link.
07.45 - The Kasim Sulton interview (with photo) is now the lead story on Kweevak.com. As it will disappear after the interview, it says:
"KWEEVAK RADIO:
THIS WEEK – KASIM SULTON!
Don't miss our interactive interview with rock legend Kasim Sulton who will be on the phone and taking your IMs! Kasim will also be talking about the current tour with Meat Loaf, upcoming dates with Todd Rundgren, and his emerging solo career.
"

Monday 2nd February 2004
21.15 - Apparently Kweevak.com (who are interviewing Kasim on Thursday) accept AOL IMs and telephone calls during their radio show. This link has more details. Kasim is expected to be interviewed during the first hour of the show.
20.00 - There are photos and threads about Kasim's recent concerts with Meat Loaf in Sheffield and Glasgow, plus a tour round-up thread.
19.30 - Helena has started a new website that has a page about Kasim Sulton.
10.15 - This morning Kasim Sulton posted a thank you message on the messageboard attached to KasimInfo.com.
10.00 - Unfortunately there were major problems with KasimInfo.com this past weekend. The site never went down but it did fill it's quota (again!) which resulted in no e-mail being delivered to the account from Thursday through to late Saturday. This means that next week huge chunks of the website will have to be moved over to the KasimInfo.co.uk webspace. This server is not so reliable so only old parts of the site (e.g. previous tour photos) will be moved there. This will mean that some bookmarks will change. Meanwhile there will be lots of new updates to KasimInfo.com over the next 4 days.
09.45 - This promises to be a very exciting week coming up for Kasim Sulton fans with:
1) Kasim's solo gig and DVD taping on Saturday.
2) Kasim being interviewed on Internet Radio on Thursday.
3) The promised re-vamp of KasimSulton.com.

06.00 - The latest news from Hall FM Arena in Sheffield, England is that the stage is being set-up (by Meat Loaf's own crew) so at the moment it appears that they are expecting tonight's concert to go ahead.

"A few of us here had a lot of fun last night at Kasim Sulton's live chat. This is where a large group of fans get together in a "chat room" and get to ask Kasim questions for an hour or two. Pretty cool to see such a BIG turnout for Mr. Sulton. Looked to be about 40 or 50 people typing away. Kasim of course busted my chops a few times and asked me why I wasn't practicing. Little did he know I had my guitar in my lap the whole time!..... "
