With the release of their fifth studio album “Little White Lies” in April, Fastball took its show on the road and kicked off their tour by wowing audiences with seven shows at the SXSW festival, kicking it into high gear with the same great harmonies, retro guitar riffs and toe-tapping melodies that encompass the very being of the band.

Fastball was formed in 1994 by native Texans Joey Shuffield and Miles Zuniga along with So-Cal transplant Tony Scalzo. Originally called Magneto USA, they were signed in 1995 to Hollywood Records and soon changed their name to Fastball. They released their first full length album, "Make Your Mama Proud" in 1996 and have toured the U.S. and the world ever since, racking up like "The Way" and the Grammy-nominated album “All The Pain Money Can Buy.” The guys have also done quite a bit of side work, writing and recording with such luminaries as Bruce Robinson, Al Anderson, the Dandy Warhols, and many more.

Fastball have perfected a set that is chock full of old faves and new material such as “All I Was Looking For Was You” and “The Malcontent.” The addition of Corey Glaeser on bass to the tour frees Tony Scalzo (guitar, piano, vox) to tickle the ivories and strum his guitar while completing Fastball’s dual vocal attack, and brings an entirely new element to the live show. With the support of Joey Shuffield’s clockwork drumbeats, this show is guaranteed to keep you whistling and humming all the way home.
