Born of youthful exuberance THE FAST rocketed to obscurity from 1975 to 1984. Mind you, not because of talent, connections or laziness. Truly, the band's story is the stuff rock n' roll legend is made of.
Brothers Miki Zone, Armand Zone and Paul Zone formed in the early 70's New York Glitter Rock Scene, at a time when the biggest unsigned group around was the New York Dolls. By 1975,
when THE FAST started recording, they were an integral part of the Max's Kansas City/CBGB punk rock beginnings, alongside Blondie & The Ramones. THE FAST released a few singles and a debut LP
produced by Ric Ocasek of The Cars by the end of the 70's.
As the 80's started, the music and the look of the group took a turn
into the deviant style of leather and goth. Disenchanted with their lack of success, in 1982, Miki & Paul reinvented themselves again, this time as an electronic duo.
For the next two years, they performed and recorded with New Wave Dance producer Bobby 'O' (Pet Shop Boys, The
Flirts and Divine). The brothers changed their name to Man 2 Man in 1985 and would have their biggest success in the
pop dance market for the next few years, resulting with #1 radio hits in England, Germany, Australia, and Mexico along with top dance singles throughout Europe.
