Thirty years following the band’s formation, Fastball guitarist Miles Zuniga recently stated that in the ‘90s, he used to be able to cover his $150/month rent by playing three gigs.

He feels bad for young, up-and-coming musicians that are struggling, but says that he undoubtedly still has fun doing what he does and that he doesn’t feel his city’s music scene is on life support, in terms of quantity.

The Austin-based rock band hits downtown St. Pete with a career retrospective, and possibly even a few Patreon-exclusive tracks. A young and handsome staple of the Bay area surf-rock scene, Fayroy, opens the show.

~~Tickets to see Fastball play Floridian Social in St. Petersburg on Thursday, April 11 are still available and start at $25.~~
