Maybe you know them, maybe you don't. You may remember they had that little song, "The Way"? Well they are so much more than that song. Way more!
My buddies are hitting the road....you should check them out. www.myspace.com/fastballtheband for a calendar!
Thank you kindly...now back to your regularly scheduled Webbness!

Hey Nese, I've liked what Fastball I've heard (I really like "Fire Escape," the cut following "The Way" on that particular disc) ... they remind me a tad of the defunct (I think?) band The Odds, tho the latter was a tad edgier.

I'm with Frank on this. "Fire Escape" is my favorite cut on this cd, though I like "Harsh Light of Day" better on the whole as a cd. Good band!

Has anyone listened to any other cds of theirs?

I enjoy all their recordings but when I'm in a funk, I put on the first one, Make Your Mama Proud. Talk about edge!
It defo puts me in good spirits, just like the old days before the name change to Fastball. I think it's funny that some people outside of Texas have heard of them or actually know more than "The Way" (which you have to sing to most people before the know what song you are talking about). Even most people I know in Texas don't have a clue!

I am a fan of Fastball also. I won't list my favorite songs by them because there are too many. I recommend that everyone give them a listen.

By the way, I'm outside of Texas. I live in Michigan where great bands like Fastball and Webb Wilder don't get hardly any exposure on the airwaves. I got lucky and discovered them by chance.

keep your eyes on their myspace page for tour dates.
They are going to Peru in October on the same trip I hope to be on with Love Hope Strength...which reminds me that my deadline is coming up at the end of this month. Please visit my trekker page: www.perurocks.org/trekkers/nese-eddleman

Thanks and rock on !
