Summer '07

Hey You ...

How have you been? It's been a month or so since I've posted here and I thought it was time for a little blurb about my comings and goings.
As you all know, I've been working pretty much non-stop since February. I believe I've been home for a total of a week since then. No rest for the weary huh?
Canada, the US, UK, Europe ... two weeks with The New Cars and now back in the US with Meat again for the summer dates on the Three Bats Tour.
Things have been going pretty well. The band (Meat Loaf) is in good spirits and playing well.
I did have a wonderful time jumping back to The New Cars for a second and can't say enough good things about those guys. I'm hoping that there will be more time for me next year to play with them. As of now, nothing is booked but I do know that there are plans for them to tour in '08.
In the middle of all of this are the solo shows I'll be playing in the coming weeks. Philadelphia, Toronto, Cleveland, Miami and Atlanta to be exact. If you happen to be within driving distance to any of these places, please try and make one of these shows. More info is always available through the usual websites (Mine and of course Sue's).
I've been working on a few new songs and hope to have at least one finished for some - or all - of these shows.
My latest CD 'All Sides' is also available through www.KasimSulton.com and I keep getting emails from everyone who has purchased a copy telling me how much they enjoy it.
I've also been in discussions with my good friends at Interstate Music regarding making a few 'special' versions of my K-Bass. We've been talking about doing a very limited run in White with Gold Hardware, individually signed and numbered along with some other collectible items. No date as of yet as to when these will be available but most likely before the years end.
I'm continuing to do the 'Backstage Pass' videos for Youtube which for me have become almost a side business. It's a little tough coming up with new ideas if only because, how many times can I take the same footage of the band getting ready for a show. Nothing changes really! Maybe it's time to go out to the audience again and bother the fans for a change.
Lastly, I'd like to say thank you to all of you who take the time out of your busy life to drop me a note telling me how much you like a particular show, enjoy my contribution to Meat Loaf, The New Cars or my solo effort. It means so much to me to hear that.
I'll keep you posted in the coming weeks either here or on Youtube or on my website, or on Sue's website or in the papers but hopefully NOT on America's Most Wanted.
