Track:
Some of you may know about my career as a rock singer in the band Fastball. We started in Austin, Tx in 1994 when Miles Zuniga, Joey Shuffield and myself formed after Miles moved back to town from Berkley, Ca. Things moved super fast for us in that final decade of music industry decadence. We performed the ??goat dance?? for the label and for radio and it really paid off. Had a couple of hits. ...

I've just arrived home from a busy weekend with the band out to the east coast. We started off in Poughkeepsie, NY for a friday night gig at chances. Ew. What stink-hole! We're done with that place I'll tell you that much. I've never been so happy to get back to the Best Western. Miles and I were being ignored by the bartender so we partied in the parking lot with a Mexican rock band called los...

My SXSW 2008
-
Artist:
I regret that I failed to attend any MOG parties in town, I was out of the loop as I haven't been around for a while. Plus, way too busy juggling family and SXSW Fastball stuff. We did various local TV and radio performances as well as 3 shows which all went very well. I didn't see any bands at all! I was all business; just got in there, did my thing and went home. I guess that's the beauty of ...

Track:
First of all, my apologies for the stupid title. Yesterday was very interesting indeed as gigs go. As I said yesterday, we would be playing a set before the Austin appearance of Barak Obama at the Backyard. Well that's just what we did! No, that's not our high powered manager on the stage with us. That's a secret service agent, I think his name is Darrell. He was very nice and did not smile. ...

Now we're in Austin, out in the country, really, at Mark addison's Aerie Studio. Making more Fastball songs.None of this stuff belongs to me; I love to play other people's guitars and hate to load in my own gear! The Aerie provides me with full service; the engineer is a much better musician than I, so sometimes, after a glass of wine or two I can get him to play guitar solos and invent keyboar...

Fastball played in the hometown of singer Miles Zuniga this past weekend. We had a wonderful time hanging out with A Flock Of Seagulls and La Gunns. The people were so friendly and really treated us like royalty, putting us up at La Posada Inn. We actually had a press conference with Flock of Seagulls at the hotel friday afternoon! We also signed many autographs and took photos with locals lumi...
