The Fast Animals and Slow Kids – FASK project was born in Perugia in 2008, from the friendship of four musicians: Aimone Romizi, Alessandro Guercini, Alessio Mingoli and Jacopo Gigliotti. The name Fast Animals and Slow Kids was inspired by a gag from Family Guy, and the band began writing songs in English. In 2010 they opened the concerts of bands such as Zen Circus, Il Teatro degli Orrori, Futureheads and I Ministri, and in the summer they participated and won the contest of “Italia Wave Love Festival” as the best emerging Italian group.
