Unfortunately for a band with Fastball's live reputation, the tour is not going any better. But as soon as the band members realized that the crowd was smaller than they had anticipated, the wind came out of their sails. For the rest of the show, guitarist Miles Zuniga, bassist Tony Scalzo and drummer Joey Shuffield looked bored. They ran through the motions of their show, but their fake enthusiasm was not convincing. It is a shame because the talented band writes good songs but needs to invest more emotionally for their performance to be effective.
Fastball writes catchy rock songs with good hooks.
