When The Format broke up, I was rather upset, but when Nate Ruess formed Fun. I was elated. Fun. also includes Andrew Dost of Anathallo and Jack Antonoff of Steel Train. They’re the kind of band you listen to on a beautiful day with all the windows down with no particular destination in mind.
The music is simple, but it’s simple and FUN. (I had to.)
