Fastball’s members met in 2000. The guitarist was encouraged to play by his uncle. Fastball started performing at Date, a college club. The group used to practice at the drummer's house.

Fastball's most current album is the band's first album in four years. The band may have recently finished their latest record, but they are thinking of what is next to come. Fastball intends to take some time off after the tour, allowing the band members to rest after a long tour.

Fastball’s first album failed to sell, but the second album saved them from obscurity. The bandwas headlining shows soon after they started playing live.

Raleigh has always been receptive to the band, even when they were small time, so the band schedules a show there every year, even if they are not touring. TheSeats.com is the one stop shop for the band, with Fastball tickets, concert seating charts, and touring schedule.
