fun.

the name says it all! this eclectic group was able to bring together different elements from several different forces and unite to form the band FUN. nate formally from the format, jack of steel train and andrew formally from anathallo. this group is lead by nate ruess who decided not to let his powerhouse voice and talent be ignored after the split of the format. someone should be kicking themselves for letting the split happen but lucky for us he moved on and is still recording. not often can you find a singer who sounds just as good live as he/she does on their cd but that’s exactly what nate did. in fact he may have sounded better live than on the cd. be calm is the first song on their debut album and if you listen to it or any other song (except the acoustic version of take your time) on the aim and ignite cd you’ll see that it’s anything but calm. if you check it out and are not sold after the first listen i'd urge you to play it again. his voice is electric and it sent a shock through everyone who was in attendance at slim's tonight. from the moment they stepped out on stage to the very last song the entire group performed with such a high level of enthusiasm. they perform with such joy that you could see how grateful they are to be doing what they love. this was my second time seeing them and i’m not sure how but they were better than the last time. i'm sure it helped being the headliner instead of opening for jack's mannequin. whatever amped up their performance i'm glad and i was happy to be in attendence.
