Said Johnny Ventura of FAST TIMES, "We are thrilled to celebrate this achievement, but we couldn’t have done this without the loyal support of the Whisky a Go Go. They have believed and supported us from the beginning up until now. To be part of the history of this legendary rock temple is a totally radical feeling. Most importantly, we love that we get to celebrate this moment with our fans. Every fan who has been to see Fast Times at our Monday residency, is part of this historic record, too. We couldn’t have done it without them, so it’s only right that we rock the house together.”
FAST TIMES features founder Johnny Ventura as Spicoli (lead vocals, guitarist), Lance Turner as Riff (lead guitars), Eddie Ayala as Kazzy Nova (bass guitars, backing vocals), Matt Olofsson as Crash Diamond (drums, backing vocals).
