America, we’re rolling our way into you.

Hey America. We’re here. Crossing the border as we type this. Soon we’ll be rolling our big white bus through your spacious skies and amber waves of grain. First stop: Philadelphia. We’ll be at Millcreek Tavern on March 2, so come get your rock out.

And then we’re playing Fontana’s on March 3 in NYC, and Union Hall in Brooklyn on March 4. This all leads up to a showcase at SxSW in Austin at Speakeasy Kabaret on March 19, and a couple dates afterwards in Memphis and Chicago. For all the details on our American dates, check out the “shows” section by clicking the link at the top of the page.

We’ll be performing live on MTV…. Live.

As the name of the program suggests, Fast Romantics will be making it’s debut performance on national television this March. We’ll be playing a brand new, unreleased song on MTV Live on March 9, around 6pm.

You don’t even have to leave your couch to catch this one. The rest of our 3-song performance will be available on mtv.ca as well.

Thank-you Toronto!

Fast Romantics in bed with the Grinch

Hey all,

Hope you had a great Christmas holiday! We got a little too deep into the egg nog this year and spit out a remake of the classic “Grinch” song. Didn’t really expect it to get picked up but it seems radio stations across the country played it throughout the holiday, and the video we made for it is getting passed around a lot.

If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out:

Lots of news about to get spat out for ya. Big Toronto show announcements for February. Tour and SxSW in March/April. New Record coming. And also, one of us is having a sex change operation.

We love you.
