fun. is the new project of former Format singer Nate Ruess. The Format were one of my favorites in their time, but sadly called it quits after just two amazing records. I was excited to hear that Ruess was again working on music, this time with the help of Steel Train guitarist Jack Antonoff and former Anathallo multi-instrumentalist Andrew Dost. The band just finished up their debut full length entitled Aim and Ignite and it’s due for an August release. They are currently on tour supporting Manchester Orchestra and I had the good fortune of getting to see them last week. fun. put on an amazing high energy show with excellent musicianship and harmonies galore and it certainly whet my appetite for the new record. They even threw in a few Format songs just for good measure and they were amazing. Today’s song was excellent live, as Ruess taught the crowd the incredibly catchy chorus before they began and everyone was singing along by the song’s end. The band put this song up for free download a few months back and have since taken it down but it can be streamed on their myspace page. I usually don’t post songs from records that aren’t already out but I wanted to give you the jump on this one so you can be ready for Aim and Ignite when it comes out in a couple months. Trust me, you’re gonna want a copy after you hear this.fun. - At Least I'm Not As Sad (As I Used To Be)
