Formed in 1979 by songwriter/guitarist Kurt Bloch (born August 28, 1960), and friends Lulu Gargiulo (guitar and vocals, born October 12, 1960) and Kim Warnick (bass and vocals, born April 7, 1959), they disbanded in 2001. Their sound mixed a generally punk approach to vocals and sound textures with poppy tunes and strong musicianship. Bloch is also a member of The Young Fresh Fellows as well as Thee Sgt. Major III. The Fastbacks reunited for a show in West Seattle in the summer of 2011.
As Everything
Fastbacks Lyrics
The room was painted blue
An unusual one too
The distance between walls descreases every month or two
Used to blame it all on them
Now me
Nothing now was good as everything
Let me make this clear
Get me out of here
The holes still in the floor
From the night before
Exposing all the rusting nails and two by fours
Used to blame it all on them
Now me
Nothing now as good as everything
Let me make this clear
Get me out of here
Introduce me to your friends there
Then I'm gone
Call if anything changes
I'll be home
All of the good people saying "Have No Fear!" I have the feeling this won't be the worst day of the year
Some things never change and it still seems
Nothing still as good as everything
Let me make this clear
This is not my year
I will make this clear
I want out of here
An unusual one too
The distance between walls descreases every month or two
Used to blame it all on them
Now me
Nothing now was good as everything
Let me make this clear
Get me out of here
The holes still in the floor
From the night before
Used to blame it all on them
Now me
Nothing now as good as everything
Let me make this clear
Get me out of here
Introduce me to your friends there
Then I'm gone
Call if anything changes
I'll be home
All of the good people saying "Have No Fear!" I have the feeling this won't be the worst day of the year
Some things never change and it still seems
Nothing still as good as everything
Let me make this clear
This is not my year
I will make this clear
I want out of here

Clinton Maher
New Album?!?! It's what the world needs!!
Stacey Sowers
I love Kurt's mandolin stylings!
A J
Long live the Fastbacks!
Dolbro Dan
Great! Kim you voice is in great shape. That's a very 2020 Covid sort of song. Is that new?
Dolbro Dan
It holds a very fitting sentiment in that case. How suddenly and severely we've lost the option to play together. Recordings are posthumous. Live music is about the shared experience and joy of living!!
Grant Lawrence
that song is from 1999 so what you mean to say is "this song is timeless!"
Kim Warnick
Not new. Off our last record "The Day That Didn't Exist."
James Hargens
I needed to start my day with this :p) My crush on Kim is even stronger :p)
