Amazing!

These guys were super easy and flexible to work with. And then the music — every single person at our party commented on how great they were and asked how we found them! I’d give 6 stars if I could!!!

Hired as: 1980s Era Entertainment, Party Band

About

The full show is what you deserve, and your party shall ROCK! Totally... like, fer sure! Five talented musicians come together for the most genuine 80's sound around! If you're looking for a LIVE band, then you've got your fix with Fast Times.

Gin Dorsey is the face and voice of 80's entertainment in the Mid-West! As the only chick in Fast Times, she proves “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” by making sure party-goers feel like part of the show. Singing lead vocals like a BOSS – fer sure. Whether she’s dressed like Madonna or Joan Jett, she’ll party with the crowd like it’s 1999!

You won’t believe your ears when you hear the wicked hot solos we all know and love; played live by axe master Jeremy Keeler! Hailing from Lawrence, KS, he will have you wearing “Sunglasses At Night” with white hot 80’s guitar solos from songs like “Beat It”, “Don’t Stop Believin’”, and anything EVH!

Kent Allen hails from St. Joseph, MO and having played piano as a kid, Kent found the way cool sounds of 80’s synthesizers to be totally awesome. Keyboards to the max!! He has been playing the Kansas City area since the late 90’s and even once opened for 80’s icon John Waite!!.. What? Don’t like gnarly synth leads and righteous strings that even a spazzed out wastoid would dub ‘bitchin’??.. Take off, eh!

Mike Meyers is the conductor of this “Crazy Train”! He will don the checkerboard and rock his Max Headroom shades like no other! When it’s time for him to throw down some totally gnarly beat, your body won’t let you leave the dance floor. With this bitchin’ drummer driving us down the tracks, the party could go all night!

'Sevans' will tooootally have you “Workin’ For The Weekend” and staying for the whole show! He is a super talented singer that also gives Fast Times what every 80’s band needs – flawless bass! This homegrown Kansas dude has been rockin’ the Metro for years. How serious is he about your 80’s experience? Just come to any show and check out his spot-on Don Johnson persona!
