Fast Times Ultimate 80's Tribute with Fast Times and Violent Femmes

Fast Times, Jorge Day's project, from Brooklyn now in Italy, blends bass heavy rhythms & spaced synths. Known for 'Bodytalk' LP via 100% Silk, former synth for Plastic Flowers & producer for Lingerie.

The Violent Femmes, formed in early '80s Milwaukee by Gordon Gano, Brian Ritchie, and Victor DeLorenzo, are pioneers of alternative rock known for their jittery, catchy tunes. Discovered by Pretenders' James Honeyman-Scott, their 1983 debut album, featuring hits like "Blister in the Sun," found cult status. They evolved with albums like 1991's "Why Do Birds Sing?" and collaborated with icons like Tom Verlaine. Despite lineup changes and hiatuses, their influence endures, marked by a 2023 deluxe reissue of their debut.
