random tidbits for 15apr08

Kasim Sulton in Japan – I love these lil’ video clips that musician (and long time Todd Rundgren band member) Kasim Sulton posts on youtube. it’s always neat to get a glimpse of what professional musicians do when they’re not on stage. In his most recent segment, Kasim shares a little of what he saw on his walk through Osaka, Japan. here’s the link to his video clip.

Geoff Downes interview – man, Asia is getting a whole slew of press surrounding the release of their brand new studio album Phoenix which just got released today. check out a great interview with keyboardist Geoff Downes over at classic rock revisited. I’m planning on posting a review of their new album in the next week or so. and also, if you’re a big fan, be sure to head on over to their official website tonight where there will be a special live webcast of their concert from the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, NY.

Bourgeois Tagg reunion! – Brent Bourgeois recently announced that he’ll be involved with a benefit concert in Sacramento on June 3rd that will feature a Bourgeois Tagg reunion. the concert is being organized to help his friend and former Uncle Rainbow lead singer Richard Oates who is in need of a liver transplant. Bourgeois states on his website that this will be a one time only reunion. tickets can be purchased through tickets.com. for more info, please head on over to Brent Bourgeois’ website.

    Yo, Dan! We had Larry Tagg on RundgrenRadio last night announcing this Bourgeois Tagg reunion, too! Update: There will be TWO shows; one in Sacramento on 6/3 and another in Dallas on 6/12. You can bet I’ll be there on the 12th for sure. I used to go see Uncle Rainbow as a teen, but never realized it was the same guys who went on to become BT, until I was preparing to interview Larry. Funny how that works, huh?
