fun.'s chart-topping indie pop anthem "We Are Young" was everywhere in 2012, earning the band overnight success and one of music's highest honors: Best New Artist at the 2013 Grammy Awards. The song took home the Grammy for Song of the Year, and, along with anthemic hits like "Carry On" and "Some Nights," propelled the band's 2012 sophomore album Some Nights to the No. 1 position on both the Rock and Alternative Albums charts. Lead singer Nate Ruess formed fun. in 2008 following the breakup of his band The Format, teaming up with Jack Antonoff and Andrew Dost to write and record the band's demos. The trio's first single "At Least I'm Not as Sad As I Used to Be" came out in April 2009, quickly followed by the release of their debut album Aim and Ignite, which received praise for its progressive and theatrical pop sound. After opening for Paramore on their 2010 tour, fun. headlined their own U.K. tour before returning to the studio to record their sophomore album. The result, 2012's Some Nights, peaked at No. 2 spot on the Billboard 200, garnering critical praise and spawning platinum-selling smash singles "We Are Young" and the album's title track. On tour in 2013 with Tegan and Sara, the band treated ticket buyers to energetic live concerts of both old and new material, building anticipation for the release of their third studio album in 2014.
The energy that the fun. has is absolutely contagious. The entire audience was on their feet and dancing and singing and having a great time. A recording of these guys does not do them justice. Their live show is absolutely INCREDIBLE!
I was more than impressed with Nate Ruess' live vocals. He is a phenomenal vocalist, and his passion for his art is inspiring. It's hard to find somebody so in love with what they do, and so entranced in their performance. fun. are all exceptional performers and musicians. They put a smile on the audience's faces, they had the entire place cheering, screaming, clapping, and crying. fun. are an amazing live band - I would certainly recommend them to anybody.
Fun. You guys are amazing, i had loads of fun! Best concert I've been to!
Great show. Played an amazing set and the opening bands were just as good. Enjoyed it 110% Definitely need to see them again!
One of the best shows I've been to! Fun. is amazingly fun live, the connection with the crowd was wonderful and they really seemed to be enjoying themselves. And the impromptu bubble song was pretty hilarious.
This was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Two of my favourite bands (Steel Train and Fun) put on incredibly engaging and energetic performances. The more intimate club setting was perfect as both bands liked to interact with the crowd.
A sparkling melange of awesome. The openers were great. Jarod Gorbel was a little slow, but nevertheless very talented. And Steel Train... well, it was definitely Fun To Dance! And Fun was incredible. Each member of the band is so multitalented, and it shows. A night enjoyed by all!
