New Supergroup? – Fun
I’m not sure how I missed this band, but amongst the break-up of the Format, one of my favorite bands, comes a new band called Fun. It has Nate Ruess, former singer from the Format, Andrew Dost, multi-instrumentalist from Anathallo, and Jack Antonoff, lead singer of Steel Train. They’ve released one demo so far and spent all winter recording a new album which has a tentative Spring release. No official dates have been set, but after hearing that first demo, “Benson Hedges”, it’s safe to say this new band Fun will sound quite a bit like the Format. Which should be great news for all of us Format fans who were beyond sad to hear the band had broken up. They’re on tour with Manchester Orchestra right now, so try and catch a show if you have a chance.
