Kasim Sulton will be playing bass and singing background vocals on the short tour of the US by Patty Smyth and Scandal.
Scandal were popular in the 80s and got together again for a taping of Bands Reunited for VH-1 in August 2004. As their bass player Ivan Aliase passed away about 15 years ago, the band who all know Kasim, asked him to play bass on the show and he was the obvious choice when they decided to tour again for the first time in 20 years.

Friday 4th February - Starland Ballroom, Sayreville, NJ
