   About Fast Times

Where were you in the 80s? Playing Pac-Man? Watching General Hospital? Enjoying the spoils of Reaganomics? Whatever your memories, Fast Times will bring them all flooding back with a smile--and a backbeat you won't be able to resist.

Fast Times plays the ultimate dance hits from the ultimate decade of decadence. From A-Ha to Young MC, every song is an instantly recognizable hit guaranteed to get audiences on their feet and celebrating. From the birth of new wave and the dominance of synth-pop to the ragged edge of rock and the dawn of alternative, Fast Times covers it all. Just don't call it "retro"--Fast Times is powerful proof that the music of the 1980s is alive and kicking, here and now.

Currently in its seventh year, Fast Times has hammered out the high-energy hits at Slim's, The Red Devil Lounge, The Paradise Lounge, Blake's on Telegraph, Fat Cat Music House & Lounge, Tongue & Groove, Golden Gate Fields, The Park, Mountain Charley's, Kimo's, Black Diamond Brewing Co., City Beach, Boswell's, The British Banker's Club, and The Shops at Blackhawk Summer Concert Series--not to mention private and corporate functions for Electronic Arts, NUMMI, Shell Oil Corporation, IDG Entertainment, Blackstone Technologies, and more.

The members of Fast Times--vocalists Chynna and Elektro; Bistie on guitar; bassist Chewie; Doc Octave on synth; and McFly on the drums--have performed with numerous bands and have appeared on various original CD releases. Their outrageous onstage fashions, 80s rock star flair, and power-packed setlist make Fast Times a simply irresistible addition to any public or private event.

Fast Times...the 80s dance party that's totally live and totally awesome!

My first effort is a naked, acoustic version of Tom Petty's 'King's Highway'... one of my favorites. I'll be playing it at Sweetwater but you can hear it on my page now.

From time to time I hear "I Think We're Alone Now" at the gym, it's the dance remix version, and I am magically taken back to that wonderful night at Blake's...it's very special still.
