GRAMMY NOMINEES FASTBALL RETURN WITH THEIR FIRST LIVE ALBUM
INCLUDES ALL THE HITS INCLUDING “THE WAY” AND 3 NEW SONGS!
Greatest Hits Live! Featuring the "You're An Ocean" and "The Way." Formed in 1994 in Austin, Texas, Fastball combined a fondness for melodic, Beatles-inspired pop with the alternative aesthetic of late-'90s mainstream rock. Guitarist/vocalist Miles Zuniga, bassist/vocalist Tony Scalzo, and drummer Joey Shuffield — all veterans of Austin's underground rock scene — originally banded together under the name Magneto U.S.A. After signing a major label deal, the musicians changed their name to Fastball and released their debut album, Make Your Mama Proud, in 1996. The album demonstrated the band's synthesis of modern flavor and bygone pop hooks, a combination that would later launch Fastball into the mainstream. The follow-up effort, All the Pain Money Can Buy, appeared in early 1998, featuring a considerably tighter band and more pop flourishes. Although the bandmates were still working side jobs at the time of its release, lead-off single "The Way" proved to be a meteoric hit, topping the American rock charts for seven weeks while enjoying crossover success as a pop single. "Fire Escape" and the piano-fueled "Out of My Head" did similarly well, and All the Pain Money Can Buy went platinum within six months of its release, earning two Grammy nominations along the way. Fastball will be on tour for the remainder of 2023 and into 2024. Includes "You're An Ocean," "The Way," "Out of My Head," "Fire Escape," "Sooner or Later," "All I Was Looking For Was You," "Hummingbird," "Damaged Goods," "Warm Fuzzy Feeling," and a cover of the Doors Classic "Touch Me."
"Fastball is chock-full of talented individuals. They work together, communicate with each other, and simply excel musically. Their set was superb featuring their brand of alt-pop. They covered all the hits; I knew they were the hits because everybody was singing along.” -GO VENUE

Fastball’s new album The Deep End follows on the heels of the band’s acclaimed 2019 release, The Help Machine. The new set, on the Austin, Texas trio's own 33 1/3 label, once again demonstrates the distinctive songwriting, expressive vocals and inventive melodic sensibilities of Miles Zuniga and his bandmate Tony Scalzo. With drummer Joey Shuffield completing the longstanding lineup, the trio’s time-tested creative rapport is as potent as ever on such compelling tunes as Scalzo’s “Electric Cool-Aide,” “I Only Remember the Good" and “Chump Change,” and the Zuniga compositions “Real Good Problem to Have,” “House on the Edge of the World” and the reminiscing album opener “Soundtrack.”
The Deep End's 10 new originals gain added sonic appeal from the production of Los Lobos member and versatile Grammy-winner Steve Berlin, whose studio resume includes work with the likes of Alejandro Escovedo, Faith No More, Rickie Lee Jones and The Tragically Hip.
