About Me

Rapid Fiction started when Carl and Nick hooked up and have since then weve expanded incrementally like the hole in the ozone layer (except we sound better). Hugo was looking for and found us. Marc was probably just looking for muffins and found us. We didnt have a policy on only employing people with good surnames, it just panned out that way.For bookings and promo material, please contact May at Lustreality Promotions via the Lustreality Promotions myspace or the Lustreality Promotions Website
We're always on the look out for new clubs, venues, festivals, and parties to play at - if you know of any you think we should get a piece of, or want to arrange a gig with us, get in touch.
